Make Paella This Weekend!

In yesterday's blog, I mentioned that my guests and I feasted on an incredibly delicious paella while vacationing at Skylands, my home in Maine.  I thought it would be fun to show you a step-by-step of the process.  For even cooking, it's important to use a traditional paella pan, which is round and flat with shallow sides.  I purchased the giant one in these photos at an amazing store in the Soho section of Manhattan called Despaña, which offers the finest products from Spain.  Another place I like to shop for Spanish products and ingredients is La Tienda.  You can find this paella recipe by clicking here and you can watch a video of Chef Pierre Schaedelin and me making this very paella by clicking here.
