When Mary Lynn Mitcham, Chief Editor of Rockland Magazine asked me to do a feature on tapas, I was thrilled. After all, I simply adore tapas!
But what are tapas, exactly? Traditionally, they are little bites that accompany a glass of sherry or wine and served in bars all over Spain.
For Spaniards, going out for tapas is not so much about the food as it is a life style – a perfect way to mingle and socialize after work or while on a lunch break. Many tapas bars serve only the specialty of the house, so it’s not unusual for people to practice tapeo, or tapas bar-hopping. What I love most about the idea, though, is the spontaneity of it all — something that’s certainly very adaptable to home entertaining, and a whole lot of fun to boot!
