The Spanish Table has everything you need to make your own paella.
SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - Although a good paella seems like an impossible work of magic — rice, seafood and meat all perfectly cooked in a single pan — it's actually doable at home, especially if you have the right equipment and ingredients. The Spanish Table has everything you need to make your own, including paella pans of all sizes, jarred piquillo peppers, chorizo, short-grained Spanish rice, saffron and — most important of all — a single-page recipe that works. The directions have never failed me. Tell the clerks how many people you want to serve and they will give you the proper size pan. Once you’ve made one paella, you won't stop. Also at the store are stunning, green-tinted tumblers and glassware plates and bowls that cost practically nothing, and indispensable 25-year-old aged sherry vinegar called Toro Albala that transforms salads.
