This book is great, it has all the recipes I was looking for, except one, Baked Goat Cheese in Tomato Sauce. I had tapas party at my house and all of the food was gone. I made 7 dishes, there were 4 of us and polished everything of. Plus three pitchers of Sangria. We are skinny too and normally do not eat like that, it just the food was so good.
 A good book, but . . . January 10, 2007

This is a very good cookbook, with many recipes ranging from very easy to more complicated. If you are entertaining and want to add a bit of style to your appetizers, get this book. I only wish it would have had more pictures. There are only a few photos in the middle, and the vast majority of dishes have no accompanying picture. I like to see ahead of time what the dish should look like. But, don't let that stop you. This is a very good cookbook and is a standard reference in my kitchen.
Another Excellent Book by Casas! October 23, 2006

Along with Foods and Wines of Spain, this book is one of a handful I keep as my culinary bibles! If you have ever had a fantasy of a perfect cocktail party -- of those cinematically perfect affairs with people in their Sunday best and fancy drinks. But instead of the usual dip and chips, you have dozens of little dishes making the rounds and people moaning in ecstasy every time they put morsel to mouth. Well, this is the book you need to make all those sensually satisfying tapas. Trust me.

This cook book is well done, has interesting recipes with good little anecdotes. I have already tried some of the recipes and they were well received at a recent party at our home. The stuffed mushrooms and other recipes are really good and received many compliments.
Perfect cook book if you love casual entertaining. January 18, 2006

I bought this book when first published and really need to buy a new one as mine is so dog-eared and stained from overuse. When I was single I often entertained friends and family and they were always impressed with these dishes. Tapas are the perfect party food. Many of the recipes can be prepared a day or two ahead and then reheated when guests arrive. I have prepared almost 70% of the recipes in this book and have yet to find a bad one. One of my favorites, gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) is a sure pleaser. There are many recipes that call for Spanish paprika. Be sure to buy the "smoked" sweet paprika if you want authentic flavor.
