London Paella street # 2 .Brick Lane Paella with my goodson and chef Aitor J.


    Sunday walk by Brcik Lane Market with my godson and wonderful chef, Aitor J. As we walk we talk about cooking, products, and particularly its stage at the restaurant  the Fat Duck  by Heston Blumenthal. Aitor he explains the superiority of haute cuisine in Spain, well known forhis work experience in the restaurant Nerua in Gugengeim Museum of Bilbao, with chef Josean Martinez (Mugaritz group) and the Valencia La Sucursal restaurant with chef Jorge Breton. For technical, concept and product, Spanish haute cuisine is a much higher level than that seen in the Fat Duck.
    Keep up the ride and we found the food market. A set of paella and two Asian girls in front. We approached with curiosity and decided to try one of the three offered us paella, seafood paella.
For seafood paella was awful, basmati rice instead of a "bomba"   or "senia" rice, all kinds of spices, including cinnamon, also had chilli ....so as paella 0 and could pass as Asian food.
Cheers ¡¡
