This weekend I had the honor of helping some friends with some photography for their new website. My friends are Carrie and Maria, and they are starting a new business, Maria's Paella.
It's an awesome concept. Maria and Carrie will prepare this insanely delicious paella and deliver it to your home, along with a great salad, bread, and sangria for a party. The paella can either be prepared and delivered to your home, or prepared on site (which I have to say is extra fun!).
Maria is a native Spaniard and uses her mother's traditional paella recipe, and traditional tools. They buy all extra fresh and high quality ingredients. You have a choice of tradional paella with chicken, beef, and seafood, or all seafood. Say it with me......YUMMMMMM!
I can't even begin to tell you how fun it was to watch them prepare the paella, and the smell...well, I just wish that I could blog in "Smell-a-Vision" today.
Andy and I will be hosting a paella party this spring for the two of us and eight lucky friends, and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it.
Their website will hopefully be up and running soon, but in the meantime, if you're in the Cincinnati area and you're interested, for now you can contact me directly and I can hook you up. I'll be sure to let you know when the website is live.
Oh yeah, did I mention that they have an adorable mascot? Meet Chiquita, the Chihuahua. No quiero Taco Bell when your mama can cook like this!
Happy Monday everybody! I'm so ready for spring break. Too bad I don't get one. Sigh.
Thank you Barb for the wonderful photos and to all of you who posted such kind comments. If you want to get in touch with us, you can do so at [email protected] or you can call 513-226-5612. Gracias!
