Kochkurs "Tapas & More"

In the organizer's words:

Tapas are small dishes or "appetizers" and an essential part of the Spanish lifestyle. They are usually served between lunch and dinner in cafés and bars with an aperitif such as wine, sherry, port or cava. If you prepare several of these tapas, they can easily replace dinner.

According to legend, tapas were first prepared in the 13th century for King Alfonso X of Castile, known as el Sabio (the Wise). The sick ruler had been ordered to eat a little food and wine between meals in order to recover. Having regained his strength, he advocated that wine should only be served in inns with accompanying snacks.

In the famous Spanish wine-growing region of Andalusia, wine glasses used to be covered with a slice of bread with cheese or ham. This tapa (the Spanish word for lid) was intended to prevent flies or dirt from getting into the wine. Soon the food itself was called a tapa...
