1 Spectacular!
A truly sensational cookbook that stimulates all of your gustatory senses.


The best way to experience Spanish food is to go to Spain. One of our favorite unknown restaurant/bar is the ChezEvaristo in Pamplona, Navarra, Spain. Their finger foods "tapas" are mouthwatering, especially the seafood. The decor is beautifully quaint. It is located in Pamplona's downtown on the world renowned street where the bulls run loose to kick off Spain's annual bull fighting season. You can enjoy your Sangria and tapas in the comfort of this quaint and comfortable restaurant if you opt out of trying to outrun the bulls. The restaurant has a webpage for more info www.chezevaristo.com

Si no le gusta cocinar, pero quiere comer las deliciosas tapas espa–olas, vaya al Chezevaristo en Pamplona, Espa–a. Se encuentra en el centro de Pamplona a 1 min de la Plaza del Castillo y a 3 de la Plaza del Ayuntamiento. En plena calle Estafeta, famosa por se la calle por la que discurre el famoso Encierro. Ver su pagina web www.chezevaristo.com

2 Great blend of traditional and modern
I searched high and low for the perfect Tapas book for my wife. She loves this one. Beautiful pictures, great recipes and not too many really-hard-to-find ingredients. Give this one a try.

I only gave it four stars instead of five because not every recipe in the book has a corresponding photo. Sometimes you have to use your imagination.

The back of the books contains a regional list of recommended tapas bars, a glossary of terms and a recipe index by ingredient.

Tapas are fun, tasty and delicious!


4 Great Fun
Amazing how such simple food can be so tasty. Seafood, chorizo, tomatoes and more all come alive. This book has beautiful photos too. From very simple to terribly complex, tapas cover the range. A big hit with guests.
