The definitive cookbook of the celebrated Boqueria restaurants, inspired by the best of Barcelona tapas.
The essence of Barcelona tapas is that single, savory, lip-smacking bite that pairs best with a glass of wine and a group of friends. For Boqueria- A Barcelona Cookbook, chef Marc Vidal captures the definitive experience of New York City 's famed Boqueria restaurants, celebrated for the traditional, mouth-watering tapas like patatas bravas, Iberian ham croquettes, blistered green peppers, and bacon-wrapped dates, all of which appear in these pages, along with the restaurant 's signature authentic, seasonal dishes like garlicky sauteed shrimp, Spanish meatballs, and classic, saffrony seafood paella.
Detailed insights into the history and the day-to-day life of the restaurant complete this sumptuous cookbook, while the recipes take center stage, each accompanied by a stunning photograph. Specially commissioned shots of Barcelona--including the legendary Boqueria fresh market and the best of Barcelona 's tapas bars--capture the inspiration for chef Vidal 's recipes and the heart of Spanish cooking.
