A beautiful look at traditional Spanish 'small plates' or tapas. Many of the dishes are obscure, especially those incorporating traditional Basque seafood ingredients, but the photography alone is worth giving this cookbook a try. A must-read for anyone interested in Spanish culinary techniques and ingredients.

Gorgeous cook book, with glorious pictures and great food--small plates, some of which require ingredients not likely to be found outside the region, but alot of things that are very reasonable to make, and it definitely made me want to visit the region and taste some of this wonderful food in situ.
This cook book's layout could be improved. The recipes have complexities I prefer to avoid in my kitchen. Yet, the flavors and dishes intrigue me enough to savor a Basque meal at Hirigoyen's restaurants (or simply buy his book and attempt making his dishes at home). Bottom line: I enjoyed reading this cookbook.
the photos will make you drool and motivate you to get in the kitchen.
Two books that present the “small plate” cuisine of the Iberian peninsula. Tapas presents the basics for easy preparation of these classic recipes. Pintxos takes a decidedly innovative twist on the tapas concept, combining traditional Basque fare with a contemporary California influence. The size of the plates may be small, but these recipes are full of big flavors!
