Paella! with Chef Sylvia Becker

Join world-traveling chef Sylvia Becker in our kitchen as she takes us on a virtual trip to Spain with this special Paella class. Rather than cooked over an open flame (as romantic as that sounds) Sylvia will make this Paella on our stove, so anyone can create this iconic dish at home, even without a traditional paella pan.

As the class begins, you’ll nibble on tapas - Toasty tomato and garlic bread with olive oil - a classic Spanish starter, as well as Manchego cheese and serrano ham. Then the cooking will begin. Sylvia will demonstrate two versions of Paella… Chicken with Chorizo plus a Seafood Paella. The point is, the paella you make at home after this informative class can be customized to you and your guests’ preferences.

Menu to include:

• Tomato, olive oil and garlic bread tapas
• Manchego Cheese
• Serrano Ham
• Paella with Chicken and Chorizo
• Seafood Paella

Join Chef Sylvia in our Hudson Valley - Berkshires kitchen for this demonstration cooking class, followed by lunch. Class limited to ten people.
