Tapas Party: Roasted Patatas Bravas

April 22, 2014 By takeabiteoutofboca 2 Comments

Tapas Party: Roasted Patatas Bravas

I get star-struck around chefs the way other people get around celebrities from their favorite TV shows. When I met Jose Andres at South Beach Food and Wine, I couldn’t even put into words how excited I was. I’m so inspired by him and his techniques, recipes, and electric personality. When putting together my Tapas…

Tapas Party: Mango-Peach Guacamole Cups

Guacamole is one of those foods that every good party needs to have. What good is a tableful of appetizers if you don’t have a variety of chips and dips?! Obviously, the first thing I like to do at a party is beeline it over to the food. It’s a must for any foodie. We’ve gotta…

Tapas Party: Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Quesadillas

Tapas Party: Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Quesadillas

Time for another Tapas Party dish! These Grilled Veggie and Goat Cheese Quesadillas were a handful.  Had I not had Zach’s help, I don’t think these would have gone out to the party guests. I sliced up all the veggies during my prep night to avoid that time-consuming job on the day of the party. Thin slices…

Tapas Party: Mini Salmon Cakes with Chili Garlic Dipping Sauce

These Mini Salmon Cakes were responsible for another one of my proudest moments of the  night, when I realized I’m totally and 100% capable of throwing a bunch of things in a bowl, mixing them together and creating something totally crave worthy. And I know they were craveworthy because they were gone pretty fast. I’m glad I grabbed one early…

Tapas Party: Basil-Marinated Shrimp with Corn and Tomato Salad

Of course I’m starting out with my favorite dish from the Tapas Party. This was so simple, but so full of flavor. I made one tiny change to my Basil Pesto and used asiago cheese instead of parmesan. I could taste the difference; it wasn’t as sharp as usual, but it was still amazing! I…

A Birthday Tapas Party

March 31, 2014 By takeabiteoutofboca Leave a Comment

You’ll never guess what I did! I can’t believe I pulled it off…with minimal help, I somehow managed to cook 9 tapas-style dishes for a party of about 25 people. My boss asked me if I’d cater his birthday party…tapas style. He let me pick the dishes, did all the shopping for me, and gave…

Roasted Tomato Basil Flatbread for #SundaySupper

Roasted Tomato Basil Flatbread for #SundaySupper

I was first exposed to tapas-style cuisine a little over a year ago. That’s pretty much when the trend started to take off, and it’s all thanks to this really freaking amazing Spanish chef, Jose Andres. I went to his restaurant, Jaleo, at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas and tried about 7 or 8 different…

Baked Brie with Honey

I wasn’t going to share this “recipe” with you because well, it isn’t even really a recipe. Just a really good snack. Baked brie with honey. I’m sure you’ve had it a million times; it’s pretty much a staple at any cocktail party. It’s also a near-perfect appetizer to make when you’re planning your own…

Mini Spinach Cups #FootballPartyApps

We are quickly approaching every football fan’s favorite day, Super Bowl Sunday! While I do love my Philadelphia Eagles, I’m not a huge fan of sitting in front of the TV to watch a game. There had better be other things going on, like people to talk to, games to play, and of course food…
