Tapas: Sensational Small Plates from Spain


May 2nd, 2009

On the front burner of the MKMT cookbook club is Tapas Sensational Small Plates from Spain by Joyce Goldstein. Joyce is the first repeat author we have invited to the table. Last year, we cooked from Mediterranean Fresh and there has been no looking back. So, when her new book was released in April we thought we’d go Spanish for the night! Her son, master sommelier, Evan Goldstein has selected Spanish wines to pair with each recipe.

Here is a summary of qué cocina en la cocina…

An expert in Mediterranean cuisine, Joyce Goldstein brings the warmth of Spain across the Atlantic with this delightful array of tapas recipes. These treats are small, savory, and perfect for an evening in with friends. Whether reliving a delicious trip to a tapas bar in Spain or discovering these small-plate delights for the first time, readers will find Goldstein’s 60 recipes authentic, easy to make, and pleasing to the palate. Nothing could be a better accompaniment to a lingering glass of Catalonian wine than a few bites each of Fried Marcona Almonds, Chorizo Sausages Sautéed in Cider, and thin slices of Serrano Ham. With a short history detailing the origins of Spanish cooking, Tapas will have crowds of fans asking for más.

Viva las tapas!!
