It's about learning the technique, understanding the ingredients, and enjoying the creation of a type of dish that's at the heart of Spanish cuisine.

 Throughout the evening, we'll also be sampling a variety of Spanish wines, each selected to complement the dishes we prepare. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or simply curious, these pairings will enhance your dining experience, offering a taste of Spain's rich wine heritage.

 "Paella Fiesta" is an opportunity to learn, taste, and enjoy the essence of Spanish cooking in a welcoming and informative setting.

 *Chef Alejandro’s disclaimer: In Spain Paella is never made with Chorizo, it’s something of a faux-pas. Traditionally, no “embutidos” (pickled stuff) or cured meats are ever added to any of  the many varieties of paellas made in Spain.  Oh well. In the States most Paella is made with Chorizo, just is what it is, and we’re going to make it that way and it will be delicious!  #nochorizopaellainquisition
