We are extremely please to announce that Four Acres Ltd trading as "Cook at Home Paella" is a Certified Carbon Neutral CompanyAs a company we are committed to our environmental principles and are extremely proud of our carbon neutral certification.

Churros, often referred to as a Spanish doughnut, are a tasty fried snacks. "Cook at Home Paella" are now offering a thin and knotted Churro.  They both are normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate, but we find they can be eaten at any time of the day and work perfectly as a dessert. Churros are fried in olive oil until they become crunchy, and then are sprinkled with sugar. The surface of a churro is ridged due to having been piped from a churrera, a syringe with a star-shaped nozzle. We provide the Churros so you can easily fry yourself, as they are generally served hot.  If you would like more information about our Churros offering please contact us.

We have just taken delivery of a 200 Person Paella Pan.  It was never our intention to cater for such large volumes of people, but our success over the last few months and recent events have made us change our minds.  The Devonport Food and Wine Festival was a huge success, serving over 1000 people over the 2 days and we've already been invited back for 2011.  

Jose Luis went going back to Spain in July 2010 year for a re-union with the two Spanish chef's (Amparo Carpintero-Salgado and Maria Victoria Cuenca) who inspired him to create the wonderful Paella recipe that is taking Auckland by storm.  He will be cooking Paella in restaurants in Madrid and Alcala de Henares to Spanish locals to ensure the recipe is worthy of the "Authentically Spanish" accolade.  He will also be visiting Valencia home of Paella and Callaspara in Murcia the home of the famous Spanish rice (any Paella that does not use Spanish Rice cannot be classified as truly a Spanish Paella, it's like trying to use long grain rice in a risotto, it just doesn't work) for further inspiration.
