Experience the vibrant colors and rich aromas of Spain with Chef Baba. In this high-energy session, you’ll master the "Holy Grail" of one-pan cooking. We aren't just making one version; you’ll learn the distinct techniques required for both a hearty Meat Paella and a brimming Seafood Paella.
 
What’s on the Menu:
The Meat Paella: Master the "land" version using succulent chicken, spicy chorizo, and earthy vegetables. Learn the art of the sofrito base to create a deep, smoky foundation.

The Secret of the Socarrat: Chef Baba reveals the professional secret to achieving the socarrat—that legendary, crispy golden crust at the bottom of the pan that defines a perfect paella.
Saffron & Science: Understand how to properly toast and bloom saffron to achieve that iconic golden hue and floral aroma.
