MASTERCLASS IN PAELLA FOLLOWED BY LUNCH IN AID OF WHARF KIDS

Ready for kick off...

The weather was very kind yesterday; bright blue skies and temperatures as hot as Spain; the perfect environment for a masterclass in paella with Spanish chef extraordinaire, Victoria Nunez aka Keny. Wine glass in hand, kindly donated by Firth & Co. Wine Merchant (very generous Magnums of Prosecco Astoria & Chateau Ballan-Larquette rouge 2014 Bordeaux), we watched, listened & questioned Keny whilst she calmly worked wonders at the paella station.

Q&A's

The class was followed by lunch - paella! and the most AMAZING puddings cooked by Keny (chocolate tart & lemon meringue tart), cheese and a little bit more wine..

The table was a ray of colours, so pretty. Many thanks to SJ Denny Interiors for the loan of the tablecloths (I'm definitely putting one on my Christmas wish list!).

Keny

Keny supplied a handout with the recipe including plenty of visuals for everyone to take away with them. So organised and helpful; I think there will be a flurry of paella parties in Yorkshire next summer!

Lunch!

We raised £585 (and counting..) for Wharf Kids which is thrilling. The money will be able to fund 5 children through school for a year and we've achieved that by enjoying ourselves! The majority of us are incredibly lucky, living a comfortable life. Perhaps, sometimes we need to step back and think of the less privileged and act on our feelings by doing something for them.
