Guest blog: 10 paella Valenciana tips by Chef Roger X. Navas Balladares
"Paella has revolutionized since its first recorded version. There are written accounts of nobles eating rice dishes prepared by their peasant staff as early as the 1100s. At its heart, paella is a dish of the people — perhaps created by those who worked the rice fields in Valencia. If we go any further back in time, the waters get a bit muddy and other regions of the world start laying claims to the dish, and though I do love a juicy drama — let us just stick to Valencia, Spain." — Chef Roger X. Navas Balladares
