Morito, little sister of Moro, has been serving delicious and innovative tapas and mezze in the heart of London’s Exmouth Market for over three years.

Described by Times critic Giles Coren as “simultaneously supercool and modest, and as much like a brilliant little backstreet place in Spain as you’ll find in this country”, Sam and Sam Clark’s little gem of a tapas bar packs a big culinary punch, attracting critical acclaim and constant queues.

Now, with the publication of its first cookbook, Morito, the tapas bar’s small plates can be cooked and eaten at home.

Photographed over the course of two years, often by members of the Morito team, the pages of the book invite you in to celebrate and share the special character and atmosphere of Morito, which people often say ‘hits you like a wall of joy’.

There are over 150 simple and seasonal recipes arranged in 10 chapters to choose from, for example:

• Bread: flatbread; Morito rolls; chorizo and fennel seed
• Para Picar (to pick): dukkah (spiced nuts); crispy capers

• Eggs and dairy: huevos rotos – broken eggs with chorizo and potatoes; grilled tetilla cheese, fig and walnut jam
