Tapas In A Trice At Home For UK Consumers   Tapas in a Box is a new choice for time-starved people who love food and convivial good times with their friends. The company, which has its roots in Spain, delivers ham, cheese, chorizo and other artisan foods sourced in the Sierra Nevada, Valencia, and La Mancha, plus hot dishes hand-cooked in Warwickshire, straight to homes throughout the UK. Customers are buying Tapas in a Box because it offers variety, flavour, authenticity, and something different - without hours of preparation in advance - for anniversaries, parties, self-catering holidays, and nights in with friends. "Nothing ignites a social occasion like Tapas," says Ana Palenciano, co-proprietor of Tapas in a Box, "people talk, open up and relax more quickly and easily than they would at a formal dinner party - it's just great fun !" Tapas in a Box comes in two formats: a Medium Box, which will satisfy 4 to 6 hungry people, and a Large Box, for 6 to 8. Each contains two selections of food: Cold Tapas, such as organic almonds, cheese and chorizo; Hot Tapas, such as Albondigas, Tortilla, Patatas Bravas and Gambas al Ajillo. Prices average £8 to £12 a head, making this an attractive and highly convenient way to bring the real flavour of Spain into UK homes.
