The Details

We will set up a gas ring cooker, pan and begin the experience. We cover the history of paella, an overview of  how to prepare and how the evolution of the ingredients influence the dish. We call our paella a Martha’s Vineyard version. Spanish Sangria will be poured and a Spanish charcuterie board laid out for all to enjoy.

Next, a hands-on paella cooking class. Station with aprons, knives, and cutting boards are placed and Jan is your guide, and each participant will uncover the age-old secrets of crafting the perfect paella. We have adapted our paella to reflect what we find from our local waters and this too will be explained. This is teaching, learning and discovery.

From expertly mixing flavors to achieving the ideal balance of textures, you'll be empowered to create a seafood or vegetarian paella that's nothing short of a masterpiece. As the enticing aromas fill the air and your creation simmers to perfection, more wine is poured and paired with the meal. We will gather around the dining table, with eager forks, you'll savor your own culinary triumph, a Seafood paella that truly captures the essence of the Spanish tradition with ingredients from the field and waters of the Vineyard.

Before bidding farewell, Jan will share her recipes, ensuring that the magic of our paella class continues to thrive in your own kitchen. The server will stay and clean up to ensure guests' needs. (5 hours are included)
