Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the launch of Spanish chef Omar Allibhoy‘s Tapas Revolution. It’s a really handy cookbook featuring more than 100 recipes and plenty of tasty full-page photos of gorgeous tapas. Keep reading to find out how you too can get a free copy of this practical and fun-to-read book.
The launch party was held at Omar’s tapas bar at Westfield London (he’s got another outlet at Blue Water in Kent as well) and proved to be a fantastic opportunity for me to sample a delectable range of tapas. Check out all the dishes I got to try during the event:
- Jamon Iberico;
- Salmorejo with bread – chilled tomato dip;
- Boquerones – marinated anchovies;
- Tortilla de Patatas – Spanish omelettes;
- Pimientos de Padron – fried Padron peppers;
- Pulpo a la Gallega – octopus with potatoes and paprika;
- Calamares Fritos – fried squid;
- Pollo en Pepitoria – Moorish chicken;
- Pinchos Morunos con Mojo Picon – Moorish skewers of beef;
- Papas Arrugadas con Mojos – “wrinkled” potatoes with “mojo” sauce;
- Croquetas de Jamon – ham croquettes;
- Crema Catalana – Catalonian custard pots; and last but certainly not least …
- Churros con Chocolate!
In addition to the authentic Spanish cuisine, the bar serves fantastic Spanish libations including some of the best sangria you’re apt to have this side of the Bay of Biscay.
I’m pleased to report that besides being a wiz in the kitchen, Omar is a super friendly and down-to-earth guy with a simple aim: make Spanish cooking more accessible for the people of Britain. With an eatery in the heart of Westfield and the publication of his attractive and practical book featuring 120 classic Spanish recipes, I’d say he’s doing a brilliant job.
I’m also happy to let you know that I’ve got an extra copy of Tapas Revolution to share with one lucky reader.
