Paella & Rioja at Casa Donnas




Love having people over for dinner and it has been a while since I invited some great friends over for some good food and wine. I have been wanting to cook Paella for years as I love the dish, especially with loads of fresh Sydney seafood. So invited Sera, Kevin, Claire, Amy & Adam over for some spanish cuisine...


After a slow shopping day at Birkenhead point in Sydney I managed to get some amazingly priced seafood for the paella. It was quite easy to cook and I think for my first one it tasted pretty awesome. I am in love with vintage cellars as they stock some classic red riojas and crianza - spanish red wine for an afordable price.


A great evening, with good cheese, wine, paella, company and Adam's amazing delicious cheesecake that he slaved away on all day whilst the girls were shopping... scrumptious!!! The good thing about having dinner at your casa is you get to keep the leftover cheesecake for breakfast... time to get the coffee pot on the stove.



Ciao

Oh my mother in law would be impressed with that! I've never worked out what the difference is between paella and risotto?
