Tapas - Jos Andrs

A classic Spanish cookbook from Jos Andrs, a humanitarian, James Beard Award winner, New York Times bestselling author, and one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People.

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 Jos Andrs 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. Named Bon Apptit's
Chef of the Year, Jos is a 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
Sauted 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 cafs, and sun-drenched coasts of Spain-and back again to dinner
at home.
