The first major Spanish cookbook in two decades, from José Andrés, recently named America’s Chef of the Year by Bon Appétit.
Tapas are Spain's gift to the world of great cooking: a fresh and fun way to eat with friends and family—and easy to make at home. Using simple Mediterranean ingredients, a tapas feast is a perfect combination of little dishes packed with big flavors. Tapas by José Andrés is the first major book in a generation to celebrate this world-renowned way of eating, from a man who is the best possible authority: an award-winning Spanish chef in America, with seven highly acclaimed restaurants to his name. Recently named Bon Appétit's Chef of the Year, José is a new star in American cooking, as well as the nation's leading expert on Spanish cuisine. Having worked as a chef in the United States for two decades, he's also a thoroughly American cook who draws on American ingredients for his inspiration, and is a master at translating his native Spanish cooking for this country's kitchens. His simple and delicious recipes include:
• Fish such as American Red Snapper Baked in Salt; Monkfish with Romesco Sauce; and Basque-Style Stuffed Maryland Blue Crabs
• Chicken including Catalan-Style Chicken Stew; Chicken Sautéed with Garlic; and Chicken with Lobster
• Pork such as Chorizo Stewed in Hard Cider; Figs with Spanish Ham; and Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples
• Rice dishes including Lobster Paella; Black Rice with Squid and Shrimp; and Traditional Rice with Clams
All these recipes are full of tremendous flavor and creativity, as well as in-depth ingredient notes and a rich atmosphere that will transport you to the lush countryside, hip cafés, and sun-drenched coasts of Spain—and back again to dinner at home.
This is a breakthrough cookbook from an extraordinary chef.

Summary: Tapping with Tapas
Comment: I purchased this book for my husband who wanted to have a tapas party. I read a short story by Jose Andres, All by Myself,in the book "Don't Try This at Home."
Upon completion of his review of this book; he is ectastic and planning a party. His biggest problem is narrowing down the list of tapas to prepare.

Summary: Simply Wonderful
Comment: I love this book! An entire chapter just for mushrooms, fabulous!! I love Jose Andres' restaurant, Jaleo in Washington, DC (Gallery Place metro stop). I was delighted to find out he has a cookbook. I would have bought the book just for the spinach with pine nuts recipe. I haven't tried many of the recipes yet, but if I can make them even one quarter as good as they do at Jaleo, my family and friends are sure to think I'm a culinary genius!

Summary: Great cookbook. Love the wine recommendations. Awesome pictures.
Comment: Great tapas book! Lots and lots of great recipes. Easy to follow instructions. Great pictures.
Jose provided recommended alternatives for hard to find items. Which is very nice when you aren't able to find everyday Spanish items at the Piggy Wiggly.
I love the commentary by the author. He talks about how it "is" in Spain. I especially love the reminiscing about being in the kitchen with his mother.
The wine recommendations are outstanding and something that you are actually going to be able to buy in a local store. He turned us on to: Finca Luzon 2005 Altos de Luzon Red Wine. Which is reasonably priced (around $12) and outstanding. It's one of our favorite reds.
