Paellas d'Olney started in September 2012 as a hobby after cooking paellas for friends and acquaintances at parties and BBQs. Following my passion for cooking paellas I decided to set up Pd'O in order to offer the Olney community the chance to try this exquisite dish and expel some existing misconceptions about paellas:

 Although the "paella" is known as the traditional Spanish dish, it originates in the Valencia region, where I come from, because the "bomba" rice is grown there around the Albufera Lake.

The paella does not contain peppers, peas or indeed Chorizo! It is a peasant dish and its original recipe contains rice, saffron, tomato, chicken, rabbit, runner and butter beans, artichokes (when in season) and occasionally snails. The seafood paella developed later. The paella (also the name of the flat pan in which it is cooked) as we know today is a considerably recent recipe originating in the late nineteenth century and adaptedthroughtheyearsfromArabian recipes.
Paellas
 For Valencianos, the paella is a social event as much as a meal, any friends or family gathering would not be complete without a paella. They are normally cooked in wood fire although, in recent times, it is customary to order form restaurants or specialised outlets and this is the concept we want to bring to the people of Olney. The paella is not just an exotic dish to be eaten when on holidays or at events, it is the perfect accompaniment to any social gathering.
