Richard's Deconstructed Paella

Hi C Cubers!

Richard blew us away with his sophisticated Spanish cuisine.

The night started out with
  • Spanish wine
  • Spanish goat cheese and Manchego accompanied by a crusty baguette
  • Baccalao cakes topped with raisins, spinach and pine nuts fresh from the pan
This time we continued the cozy sit-down dinner theme we had at Charles and Mapi's. We had two tables and did a "Chinese firedrill" in between to mix up the conversation. I overheard a heated discussion about education, and participated in conversations about wildchilds and gtd apps. Fun crowd as always!

The sit down course consisted of:
  • More Spanish wine
  • Paella with yellow peppers, Spanish red peppers, snap peas and fish
  • The much-talked about deconstructed paella - risotto, fish with black truffle paste
  • Delectable caramel flan and a cafe con leche to top it off!

It was amazing to watch Richard maneuver through all those dishes with such ease. He's a professional (it's true! He did chef at a French bistro in college)



Thanks to Chef Richard and the rest of the attendees.

Unfortunately, this was my last c cubed for awhile. I hand the reins over to Tokumbo, co-founder of c cubed. You are in good hands. I look forward to reading about future c cubed events from Peru!

** We need a volunteer for next month's c cubed. Please email Tokumbo if you would like to host. **
