All about the PAELLA
La paella is the one of the most international dishes of the Spanish cuisine, but curiously, a few people know about the true recipe and the origin of it.
It originated in the fields of a region called Valencia on the eastern coast of Spain, in an area called the Albufera, a fresh water laggon near Valencia. The workers on the fields during lunch time, used to combine different ingredients that they could find in the fields, and mixed them with rice: vegetables, snails, chicken and rabbit.
Today paella is cooked in all the regions of Spain in different versions: seafood paella, fideua (with noodles), black rice, mixed paella… but not all of them are following the authentic recipe and following the basic rules to cook and excellent paella.
In las Paellas de Sitges we are experts on that because our chef is from Valencia and he knows all the secrets for the best preparation.
Here you have some of our basic rules:
· The Bomba variety rice, which absorbs a lot of water, which make it suitable for the paella.
· The paella pan used and in the right size depending on the number of people it is cooked for.
· We prepare the paella over an open fire, so to cook on site, we bring a paella Burner & Adjustable tripod Stand
· We finish the cooking of the Paella on site, to serve it recently cooked.
· We use only fresh and seasonal ingredients.

Difficult to say what exactly tapas are, because it depends on the origin they come from and you can find them in different versions.
In general tapas can be snacks, canapés, small portion of food served on a plate or food on a slice of bread with a took piece (traditional pinchos).
For the Spanish people is part of our social behavior and we love to go just to “tapear” with Friends or relatives, before lunch or dinner, afterwork with a glass of wine or beer or even enjoy a full lunch consisting of different kind of Tapas.

Review for evening of Tuesday 7th August.
We booked ‘Las Paellas De Sitges’ to cook a seafood paella for a party of 11 in our rented villa . This was a very professional private home chef service, easy to organise and excellent value for money. Both Juan and his partner were engaging yet non intrusive. However most importantly the paella was absolutely fabulous in presentation and taste. A delight to the senses. Would definitely recommend.
