Delicious Tapas Class Recipe

We recently had a wonderful story released about our Cooking and Gardening Classes in the San Antonio Express News.

The Express News food editor, Karen Harem, attended the Growing & Cooking with Edible Flowers class. Since then, we held a Tapas class and wanted to share some of the information with you and one of the recipes that Bill & Terry made.

Served in bars all over Spain, Tapas is a unique cuisine that elevates unique and delicious little bites of food to new heights! Tapas are made from a wide variety of food, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients.

Served hot or cold, Tapas are incredibly versatile. Whatever the occasion tapas can fill the niche.

According to class instructor Terry Thompson-Anderson the dish “meets all my requirements for a successful party food – it’s visually pleasing; it’s made from ingredients that folks are familiar with (men, especially, tend to shy away from party munchies with ‘mystery ingredients’). And it’s mighty tasty.”
