Private chefs in Valencia for business and pleasure
Have you had your fill of stepping out every night and just want to enjoy the luxury of your Valencia rental apartment?
Or perhaps you have special dietary needs that are a challenge to be met.
Or, do you need a quiet night with the kids plonked in front of the TV and a ready-prepared meal?
Relax, Iberian Escapes can book you a private chef who will come to your apartment and prepare, cook and clean up. You don’t have to lift a finger - unless of course, you want to!
The demand for private chefs in Valencia is growing. Not just for the reasons mentioned above but also for special celebrations, romantic dinners and team-building weekends.
As part of our Concierge Services, we can book you the best private chefs in the city - all you need to do is kick back and open a bottle of wine.
Paella – the jewel of Valencian cuisine
All emblematic Spanish dishes have a regional provenance. In Valencia, it’s paella.
The reason is historical. When the Moors settled in the region of Valencia, they introduced rice to the Albufera region of Valencia, where delta-like conditions were optimal for cultivating the grain.
Paella was invented to feed agricultural workers, by adding to the rice local herbs and whatever else was available – be it vegetables, pork, chicken or even snails. This is why paella purists insist that the best paella is cooked in the open air – in a thin paella pan over an open fire.
Today, paella, and particularly seafood paella, is traditionally eaten for Sunday lunch. On Thursdays, it also forms part of the ubiquitous menu del día.
Why Thursdays? Because historically, that was the maid’s day off – so she could leave everything prepared for the paella the night before. All the lady of the house had to do was add stock and stir.
You can choose to stir, or not, when our specialist paella private chef comes to cook in your rental apartment in Valencia.
The meal starts with an appetizer of crudities and special sauces, which awake your taste buds for a traditional Valencian paella of chicken, green beans and butter beans. He will explain the significance of soccorrat – the crunchy, slightly burnt bottom layer of rice in the perfect paella, before finishing the meal with chocolate truffles.
