Sherry & A Little Plate of Tapas

Tapas and sherry bars are everywhere: Berlin, London, LA, Paris, Munich. Now it''s time to bring the trend home and serve this glorious marriage of flavours to friends. In A Sherry & A Little Plate of Tapas Kay Plunkett-Hogge tells the story of tapas and its beloved companion, sherry, and offers 80 easy-to-cook-at-home recipes.

The book begins by exploring the mysteries of sherry, one of the world''s oldest wines, considering the five key types, how they''re made and how they''re served, with tips on the best food and sherry matches and a selection of sherry cocktails. Kay then plunges into the tapas, with chapters on cold tapas - hams and olives and their like - and latillas; montaditos or ''mounted'' tapas; pintxos, or ''things on sticks''; and on cooked tapas, with chapters on vegetables, eggs and dairy, seafood and meat. Kay has even created some delicious sherry-based desserts.
