"Tapas" by Vanessa Murphy and Anna Cabrera

Anna Cabrera and Vanessa Murphy both fell in love with food, wine, sangría, vermouth, and all the other delights of Spanish culture when they met in 2008. Though Anna is native to Barcelona and Vanessa has lived in Spain sporadically, their shared passion for the cuisine inspired their Dublin restaurant, Las Tapas de Lola. Tapas, the ultimate party food and conversation starter (perfect for first dates!), can be enjoyed at a table, bar, or as finger food, emphasizing the importance of sharing. And the best part? You can taste a variety of dishes without committing to just one. In this book, Anna and Vanessa share their personal take on traditional recipes, but there are countless ways to prepare these dishes, as each region, city, village, and family has their own unique version passed down over time. Now you can make them your own too.

"Tapas by Anna Cabrera and Vanessa Murphy just bursts with deliciousness. I know that making a feast out of many small dishes can be more work than a mere main course and dessert kind of a meal, but I defy you to read this without wanting to invite people around to share these dishes straightaway." - Nigella Lawson

“Here’s the thing about Anna and Vanessa: the girls are a pair of punks. They may not sport Mohican haircuts and safety pin-festooned leather jackets, but they’re actually the Sex Pistols of Spanish cooking. Tapas is a blast of a book, and its energy echoes the warmth, humour and hospitality that has made Las Tapas de Lola one of Dublin city’s best-loved places to eat. Their vermut and tinned seafood parties are the must-make moment of 2023.” – John & Sally McKenna
