Wow this was a great experience! Our host started off with a lot of great history and explanation about how that dish of paella came to be. Then we were... read more able to move into three different areas of preparation. The first preparation was for the tapa, and we got to make a very unique starter on bread with garlic, tomato, olive oil, cheese and jamon. Next, we got to prepare all of the ingredients for the sangria. Finally, after enjoying our tapa and learning a little bit more about the main ingredients for the paella, we got to work as a team to prepare all of the ingredients, and then actually begin to cook the meal. As a team we all got to take turns with different steps in the preparation process. It was really cool to watch it all come together and see this amazing dish being created from start to finish. Once we got everything in the pan and turned the heat up, it was time to wait for the dish to be completely cooked. This took about 20 minutes or so, and we were able to enjoy the delicious sangria that we prepared while we waited for the main course to be ready. Finally, the moment of truth! Our host dished out the delicious paella for us, and we got to enjoy it with the sangria as a team. It was a wonderful experience, with much knowledge shared, and an opportunity to make new friends as you work together as a team to create this authentic meal!
