Most people will have heard of Tapas but few may know its origins. 

The word Tapas is actually the plural of Tapa and the literal translation means "cover".

Tapas were invented in Andalusia which is in the south of Spain. In the Andalusian wine-making regions, it is the custom to place a saucer  on top of a  glass of wine in order to keep  the little fruit flies out. A small amount of food placed on the dish helped attract clients to the wine bar. 

Tapas are now found in the smallest of bars in the tiniest of villages and vary from simple to complex, hot or cold and include fish, vegetable dishes, dips, cheese and savoury pastries. They are no longer reserved to accompany wine. Fino sherry and draught beer are now also frequent playmates of these delicious morsels.

Below are a selection of tapas recipes.
