Risotto for lunch - what's not to like?

Tweet

Yesterday, the development company that created our village held a farewell luncheon. Now that all the houses have been sold, control will pass to a Board of Management made up of residents. We were greeted at the door with either champagne, orange juice or wine. Trays of nibbles were passed around by wait staff before a few speeches were made and we were then treated to a risotto (correction - it was paella) lunch. There was a choice of vegetarian, seafood, lamb, chicken or beef. Later, individual pavlovas, lime cheesecake and other goodies were offered as dessert. The chef, Miguel Maestre, has hosted various TV shows and was well-known by many of those at the gathering. Because we don’t watch much TV, I’d never heard of him but he has an impressive resume. The photo was taken by Vince and shows Miguel putting the finishing touches to one of several big pans of paella.
