Cooking projects- Paella and chocolate

[alysten]

I have started researching paellas and drinking chocolate. Fascinating things, Spanish foods. The Moorish influence on regional cooking are amazing. I will get to play with some of my favorite spices including saffron, cumin, cinnamon and cardamon.

Mmmmm... I will probably play with seafood and meat paellas. I will be working on two different paella (meat and seafood) dishes that would have been produced in later 16th century. This will allow me to avoid the seafood allergies/no pork for one and the avoid meat with the other. That should give me a wide range of audience to be able to partake and they should produce 2 very different flavor combinations.

Any volunteers for taste testing?

Did you want to borrow the Inquisition documents book? I think it would be more of a research tangent, but I don't think you're anti-research tangent...

Me? Anti-research?

That would be wonderful.
