Paella is meal of humble Valencian origin that transcends Spain's borders.


"In its purest form, paella is a chicken- and rabbit-based dish with just a handful of ingredients," says Chef Roger X. Navas-Balladares. "But it is truly an ever-evolving dish — today there are more than 3,000 different recipes." 


"This past summer, I perfected a mushroom paella that has become a customer favorite!"  With eight million yearly searches on the internet, paella is the fourth most important dish on the planet.
