Tascas and Tapas
Posted on Monday, February 09 @ Hora estándar romance by spaincolours.com |

 | The word “tasca” itself is Spanish and translates as “inn” or “tavern”. The Spanish word “tapa” actually means “lid” and the concept of tapas originated many years ago. |
When the farmers and labourers had finished work for the day, they would often go to the ”tascas” for a well earned drink.
The innkeeper would place a slice of bread on top of their drink to stop the flies from going in! Gradually they began to place things on top of the bread, like cured meats and sausages, and they were then eaten as snacks to accompany the drink.
Tapas has now evolved into an entirely unique way of eating.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, with its sensual descriptions of ingredients and menus. Truly a taste of Spain here! I gave a chef/ friend a copy for Christmas; and for New Years' she whipped up a dreamy Tapas party that sent our whole group into the furthest reaches of epicurean bliss. Everything she served came from this book! These recipies are flawless.
