I ‘read’ cookbooks more for the pictures, I think.<br /><br />Hi Ellie – Movida Rustica is a lovely book. I got it from Myer, love it when they have 1-day sales!<br /><br />Hi Megan @ FeastingonArt – thanks, you can’t go wrong with an ingredient still life :)<br /><br />Hi BuBbles – I was always put off by paella, too, but as you can see, if you aren’t too concerned with being authentic, then it is quick and tasty.<br /><br />Hi Phuoc’n Delicious – oh, you’re so lucky to have a paella dish (and a good bf!). I imagine that the paella would look great in a proper pan.<br /><br />Hi Mark @ Cafe Campana – haha, another chorizo-lover! I refer to them as ‘the versatile sausage’.<br /><br />Hi john@heneedsfood – good, my work here is done :)<br /><br />Hi Trissa – yes, good ol’ Donna Hay is fab for a reliable meal<br /><br />Hi Conor @ HoldtheBeef – I actually prefer the crustless version because it’s easier to clean up the pan afterwards (no, I don’t use a dishwasher!). But I think you’re right: the crusty bit on the bottom is supposed to be the best.<br /><br />Hi Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella – another chorizo fan ! I think we need to form an appreciation society.<br /><br />Hi BNDQ8 thanks, glad you like it. I like to show the steps so that I can remember what I did when I make the dish again!<br /><br />Hi Stephcookie – isn’t the colour great? It’s the canned tomatoes...<br /><br />Hi penny aka jeroxie – yummicilious indeed! I will definitely make this again.<br /><br />Hi foodwink – I think you need to add some tasty things like chorizo or prawns to bring out the flavour. And lots of spices, of course.<br /><br />Hi krissy @ the food addicts – thanks! I hope you get the chance to try it soon.<br /><br />Hi Amy @ cookbookmaniac – you’re welcome. Now that you mention it, this version is probably more of a risotto, but ‘paella’ sounds better, hehe!OohLookBelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031489606743430354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-22620034770714415252010-03-13T19:30:01.925+11:002010-03-13T19:30:01.925+11:00I have never had a great paella.

However, I did eat onet hat I really enjoyed, but it was more like a seafood risotto, rather than a true paella. Oh well, one day. Your paella looks easy and tasty. Perhaps I will try and make that one!

Still, I've eaten crustless ones that I have loved, and you've got a nice crust on that baguette so you seem pretty sorted either way ;)Conor @ HoldtheBeefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12593756072189786548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259536473826194612.post-4166599201624543022010-03-08T21:27:33.224+11:002010-03-08T21:27:33.224+11:00I love the Movida book as well and have wanted to ...I love the Movida book as well and have wanted to try the Paella recipe but never had the time.
