Wish You Were Here: Cooking paella in Barcelona

Today’s adventures come from a Menlo Park couple with a penchant for paella.
Wish You Were Here
SPAIN: In September, Menlo Park residents Kate and Tedd Kimelman took a trip to Europe “to learn about the culture, history and wine of Spain and France,” Kate says. “We started with a cooking class in Barcelona, where we made gazpacho, paella, pan con tomato, tortilla de España and crème brûlée. Then we all sat at a long table and enjoyed our lunch with delicious Spanish wine and good company. It was a great hands-on way to learn about the cuisine of Spain and to bond with our group.”
TRAVEL TIP: “Be sure to make reservations for cooking classes ahead of time, as they are very popular.”
