00:00I'm Bridget Deacon, me and my partner Sam Stephens set up Tapos & Tunes just over three

00:10years ago.

00:11We are a restaurant, a tapas bar, and we also have a live music venue upstairs.

00:18We've got a very traditional Spanish tapas menu, but then we also have a specials board.

00:25We love being based in Otley because we've got Otley Market three times a week and we

00:31tend to get our veg and fruit from them.

00:40This is Goshua and it's a traditional sort of dessert that they eat in Spain around Christmas

00:47time.

00:49And we've sort of done a bit of a take on it because it's normally it's sponge with some

00:53sort of liqueur or spirit and then they layer like Catalan custard and cream.

01:01So we've put the cream in the middle and then the custard on the top so that we can then

01:05brulee it.

01:10This Christmas we decided that we'd take some traditional British favourites, for example

01:18turkey and pork and beef, and then we'd put a bit of a twist on it.

01:24So for example the turkey, you can have roast turkey, and then we've taken the Spanish croquettas

01:32and we've flavoured the croquettas with ricotta, white onion and nutmeg.

01:38So in itself it's a British dish but we've given it a Spanish twist.
