The Great Paella Scandal – Spain vs Jamie Oliver!

PAELLA ON TRIAL! This week I put three legendary British TV chefs before the Spanish culinary courts for possible crimes against Paella. Mary Berry goes elegant but dangerously oven-friendly… Jamie Oliver commits the ultimate Spanish sin by adding chorizo… while Keith Floyd cooks dangerously close to authenticity with wine in hand and chaos in the pan. But who creates the MOST authentic Paella? I explore the fascinating history of Spain's most famous rice dish, ask whether Paella is REALLY the national dish of Spain, reveal the secrets of authentic Valencian cooking, explain the battle between gas, induction and open-fire cooking, and uncover why Spaniards are fiercely protective of their beloved socarrat. Plus: • What equipment you REALLY need for authentic Paella • How to spot terrible tourist Paella • The truth about seafood vs Valencian Paella • The best places in Spain to eat it • Why Jamie Oliver caused outrage in Spain If you love Spanish food, cooking, travel and a bit of culinary controversy, this episode is for you. #Paella #SpanishFood #Spain #Valencia #JamieOliver #MaryBerry #KeithFloyd #SpanishCooking #FoodPodcast #TravelSpain
