Editorial Reviews

Luard provides a plethora of recipes that she hopes will encourage us to get the tapas habit and once that happens, she suggests we raise our glasses together in the traditional Spanish toast… And with her recipes…the salutation will be a joy to make.

New York Journal of Books

I tried several of the dishes in the company of friends and found that though the ingredient lists are frequently simple, the outcomes are delicious, often because of that simplicity. There are a few more complicated recipes, like those for croquettes and pasties, but the instructions are still clear and easy to follow… this is a fabulous collection of recipes for those who appreciate the art of tapas.
