Best Spanish Recipes

A typical dish of Valencia, Spain originated in the 1960s when noodles were used instead of rice in the popular dish paella. Relatively obscure until very recently, Fideuà has quickly become a favourite at Spain’s top restaurants. Its versatility, flexibility and the ability to use the freshest seasonal produce in its preparation make it the perfect blend of tradition and modernity for the aspiring star chef to make his/her mark.

The Paella Valenciana (literally, Paella from Valencia) is the original paella recipe from Valencia, where Paella originates. There are plenty of other recipes, from Valencia, Alicante, Cataluña and the rest of Spain. Other recipes are based on other meats, fish and even vegetarian. We’ll be publishing many of them on Best Spanish Recipes. They are all excellent, but Paella Valenciana is the original, and many say the best.
