Purchase options and add-ons

Penelope Casas, who introduced the classic little dishes of Spain to American cooks more than twenty years ago, now gives us a splendid updated edition of that seminal book—with fifty exciting new recipes and eight full pages of new color photographs showing tapas in all their glory.

Here are all the appetizer dishes that have long been a tradition in Spanish cuisine—mélanges of seafood in aromatic sauces; little ragouts of meat, sausages, beans; colorful salads and marinades; the omelets called tortillas that enclose a variety of tasty tidbits; banderillas, zesty combinations on skewers; and empanadas, savory delights encased in pastry. The new recipes Casas includes reflect the influence of the innovative cooking in Spain today—dishes seasoned with soy sauce or balsamic vinegar; ingredients wrapped in flaky phyllo pastry; accents of goat cheese and arugula; foie gras in elegant presentations.

With Spanish cooking at the forefront of today’s cuisine, this “exceptional book by the leading American authority on the foods of Spain” (as Craig Claiborne dubbed it in 1985) is a must for every adventurous cook in America today.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

This updating of Casas' classic 1985 introduction to tapas shows just how deeply tapas has penetrated America's culinary scene. At the time of the first edition, few Americans outside New York and Chicago had any idea about this Spanish tradition of small plates. All that has changed, thanks to the multiplicity of tapas bars in every urban area and to Spain's revolutionary Ferran Adria, whose meteoric rise to the very top rank of chefs completely transformed the face of fine dining with foams and assorted novel cooking techniques. Casas' hundreds of recipes for these small plates range from very simple toasts to elaborate layered creations that require the kitchen skills of a pastry chef. Reflecting the internationalization of Spanish food, some recipes call for Asian ingredients such as soy sauce. A glossary and a list of mail-order sources for Spanish comestibles ease Americans' search for authentic Spanish ingredients. Mark Knoblauch

Second hand? Book cover was filthy.

Second hand? Book cover was filthy.
I bought this as a gift but the dust cover is filthy, like someone has used it and returned it. Tried cleaning it off but still not in a good enough condition to give a a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book of recipes for small plates
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2022

My grandmother used to say that if you could thumb through a cookbook and find 5 recipes you were pretty sure you would like to try soon, you should buy it. Well, I'm not even done reading the first chapter and I have already come across MORE than 5 recipes I am definitely going to try very soon! So this one looks to be a real winner already. I bought the book as travel research for an approaching trip to Spain; I plan to backpack the 1,000k camino de la plata from Seville to Santiago. As part of my travel research I like to host little dinner parties for friends at which we try to food and wine of the regions which I will be visiting. This little treasure trove is going to be very popular at our little research evenings. I can hardly wait.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little bit of everything

"Tapas" gives cooks a plethora of recipes from vegetarian to veal, pastries to pates. There's also a wide range of complexity - recipes range from 3 ingredients to 20. For variety and authenticity I would give this book a 5 star rating but it falls short because there are very few photos other than a handful in the middle of the book, and the arrangement of recipes is not ideal. I would prefer the book be sorted by main ingredient, seafood vs. beef for example, but it is arranged by type of tapas (tapas in sauce vs. tapas with bread) which I find much more impractical.

We've had a copy for years, wine stained and dog-eared from use as the basis of many a successful dinner party. Bought a new one for our niece as a birthday gift as she was many times a guest and dragooned into being a cook.

Can't say enough about tapas and the late Ms. Casas' recipes. "Buen provecho!"

After a trip to Madrid, sampling the marvelous food in restaurants and tapas bars, I wanted to try cooking these simple and elegant dishes myself. This cookbook doesn't really satisfy my lonely taste buds, pining for Spanish foods. I tried four of them as accompaniments for Christmas dinner. It was difficult to find a variety of tastes that would complement the meal. My choices turned out to be pickles with herring and artichoke hearts, pickled onions, pickled cucumbers, pickled cauliflower. Many of the other recipes called for squid, octopus or mussels, not easily purchased in Kansas. I will keep looking for a cookbook with more variety.

After returning for a couple weeks in Spain, I found myself missing those light evening meals of tapas and tinto. This book helped me identify some of my favorites so I can make them at home. Easy to follow instructions make this book a winner.
