My favourite one is seafood paella (paella de marisco), with arroz bomba. I never add chorizo/rabbit/chicken, but that’s just me. I never use the oven for paella. You can also make arroz caldoso con bogavante (soupy rice with lobster). This is a good recipe written in English by journalists who live in Barcelona, Spain, so, they are experts in paella, they can eat it whenever they want :)<br />http://www.barcelona-metropolitan.com/articles/barcelona-recipes%3A-seafood-paella/<br />You may like to read also about arròs negre (black rice) and calçotada.<br />I write this text describing a calçotada for Lonely Planet, in case you’re curious:<br />http://pocketcultures.com/2010/05/03/calcotada-time-the-secret-is-in-the-sauce/<br />Enjoy!<br />If you have any other question, just let me know!<br />¡Hasta pronto!<br />Marta<br />abilingualbabyblogmarta (a) gmail.com<br />http://www.abilingualbb.blogspot.com<br />Marta G.

Also saw one with bay leaf and thought that sounded like a good addition. Do you put paella in the oven for a while or do you cook all stove top?<br /><br />oh my, so many paella questions......Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-74041019864051416772013-01-29T15:49:23.022-05:002013-01-29T15:49:23.022-05:00I found him!

Must explore more.<br /><br />http://www.josemadeinspain.com/bio.htm<br /><br />I don't know if you got the program there, but PBS did a series On The Road in Spain with Mark Bittman from NYTimes, Mario Batali, Gwenyth Paltrow and Claudi Bassols. I guess they've got a follow up running right now....glad I looked it up again as I'd hate to miss it. Really enjoyed the first installment. A real mix of Spanish history, culture and food and how they're all intertwined.<br /><br />Here's a link:<br />http://www.spainontheroadagain.com/cast.shtml<br /><br />I didn't know Claudia but loved her...........she needed a ham fix every day. Too funny!<br /><br />They may have even had an episode with Jose......I could be wrong, but it just seems like they did to me.Pamela Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13251452639317129182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980870119150557142.post-19039279964509130732013-01-29T15:43:00.982-05:002013-01-29T15:43:00.982-05:00Marta, I'm so glad you commented....I've n...Marta, I'm so glad you commented....I've never ever heard of fideua and did google it.
