Summary: A treasure trove of tapas from all over Spain
Review: A wonderful introduction to Spain's colorful and exciting "little dishes," this attractive cookbook provides the reader with an extensive range of tapas from many regions. The dishes described are as versatile as they are delicious, and although some are rather time-consuming, most are not complicated. A glossary of ingredients, shopping information, hints on techniques and utensils, tips for throwing your own tapas party, and carefully planned menus for a variety of occasions make this a very useful guide.

Also recommended: If you love tapas you will love mazzas, the "little dishes" of the eastern Mediterranean, a stunning selection of which is included in Sonia Uvezian's latest and greatest cookbook, "Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen." This extraordinary volume should be added to every food lover's "must" list!

Summary: Excellent book.
Review: I am an avid cook. I have travelled to Spain, and every dish is correctly represented. I have made the Spanish omelete for Spainards who thought it was authentic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Complete and easy to use.
Review: I bought this book to do a "tapa party" for the our new years party. I have found the receipes easy to use with good results on the first attempt at dishes. The only complaint is that no recipe gives you a (starting) amount of salt and pepper. Each recipe is a guessing game and if you over salt, your dead. The book should give you a minimum to start with and then adjust as necessary.

Summary: Tapas: The Little Dishes of Spain
Review: I have been to Spain numerous times and-----This book is full of weird, hard-to-find ingredients. I did not care for it at all. However, her other book, The Foods and Wines of Spain, is great.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic.. Superb.. Wonderful.. Easy and Authentic
Review: I have been to Spain with my Girlfriend a few times. She had lived there previously. She has this in HER library. I made a few of these Tapas for her and she loved them. She thought she was back in Madrid and Sevilla. They are very easy to follow, and taste great. I am getting this copy for myself.

Review: I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, with its sensual descriptions of ingredients and menus. Truly a taste of Spain here! I gave a chef/ friend a copy for Christmas; and for New Years' she whipped up a dreamy Tapas party that sent our whole group into the furthest reaches of epicurean bliss. Everything she served came from this book! These recipies are flawless.

Summary: Best book for making tapas
Review: I love this book. I bought it after I got back from Spain. It has in it our favorite thing in Spain - garlic toast with squished tomatoes. We all loved this food and it is so easy to make at home. Basically your toast peasant bread slices, then grate on it some raw garlic, then scrape (or squish) a tomato on that, then drizzle on some olive oil. OH MY GOSH - is it GOOD!
The book also has lots of variety.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Takes me back to my time in Spain!
Review: I received this as a present - it has a wide range of tapas recipes with some photos. I must admit I am yet to make any, but have spent some time trolling the bars of Spain, and they all seem authentic. I have her Paella cookbook, though, which I do cook from, and those make excellent meals.
