I make my paella with sofrito (a Spanish mire poix of onions, peppers and tomatoes) ....and ... do you see the dark-colored rice? --- I flipped the rice over in order to show you the socarrat (soh-kah-raht). That's the treasured caramelized rice at the bottom of the pan, which makes a more authentic paella.

There were 4 of us taste-testing today..... yummmers.

 

This is a (sold out) cooking class for two MeetUp groups, here is the class description:

WHO WILL BE TEACHING THE CLASS?  Wow, we are so fortunate that  local star chef, admired amongst her chef peers, and respected Chef Joni Sare has so kindly offered to teach this class to our group.  (OK I begged her incessantly)  Joni has a reputation as being a big time community advocate, multi faceted talent, and an expert in multiple cooking techniques and diets, few rarely understand at her expert level.  I cannot emphasize enough how lucky we are that she has donated her time and services to our group for such a reasonable cost!  This class with her Whole Foods or Draegers would easily cost 45 dollars or more with a crowded classroom.

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?
