Comments From Our Customers Many Thanks to them from us From Sandra Alvarez, Belmar New Jersey
Hi Guys, Sandra Alvarez From Brian Liles, Laguna Niguel, CA.
Mornin' Diana and John,
After receiving my paella pan and burner this past Friday, I cooked
my first paella Sunday evening. I took the pan and burner over to my
folks place and, using Diana's Paella recipe as a starting point, I put
together a wonderful meal.
With my first attempt being such a success, I can only imagine that
my palleas will only get better as time goes on. I can't wait to get the
next one cooking!
Thank you both for your contribution to my newest passion!
Sincerely,
Brian Liles
Laguna Niguel, CA.

pictures, From Maria Hughes Thank you Diana, It is a pleasure to work with such an organized and responsive company! Maria Hughes From Jason Donoho, Pina Napa Valley Diana, Thank you for the interest. We are a small family winery that produces a very limited supply of estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon and we used the pan to make paella for an open house/ release party at our winery. It was a 2 day event with paella being served to about 400 people. Next to the wine the pan was the most talked about thing there. We often overheard comment like “that’s the biggest pan I have ever seen” and “did you see the size of that pan”. I made the paella on a custom made BBQ the one of the winery owners owns. I made a chicken and chorizo sausage recipe with no seafood and it paired very well with our wine. We will be holding another open house on March 12th and 13th and will be serving paella again. Our wine is available through our website, www.pinanapavalley.com, if you would like to try some please give me a call. My direct line is (707) 286-2345. I am also attaching some picture from the party. Thanks Jason Donoho Pina Napa Valley

Dear Diana: From Marianne Wilson
HI Diana,
The
Taste of Spain went swimmingly. We raised $24,000+. We had over 32 different
Spanish wines to taste and then I
did
up the Tapas table with Olives, Roasted Yellow and Red Peppers, Marinated
Mushrooms, and Artichokes. Three kinds
of
very tasty Spanish Cheeses and Serrano Ham. Grilled Tuna on Olive Crostini,
Bacon and Bread Stick with a Glaze
Spinach Balls with a Mustard Sauce, Beef Empanadas, and Garlic
Shrimp. Caramelized Onion, Date, and Goat Cheese Tart
Tortilla Espanola, Shrimp, Avocado, and Lime Salsa. Grilled Mini Rack of
Lamb Chops with a Apricot and Roasted Serrano
Chili Pepper dipping sauce.
AND THE HIT OF
THE EVENING YOUR PAELLA SERVED IN MY NEW
PAELLA
PANS, WHICH HAD ARRIVED IN A TIMELY MANOR. My
Diana cooked them perfectly,
following
your directions. It was absolutely the perfect touch. Thank you.
Now
on to another subject. Do your know where I can get Manzanilla Olives. The
kind they serve in the bars in Spain.
I
hope you may tell me where to look.
Thank you again. I am making paella for 90 on Wednesday.
Thought you'd enjoy the update.

From Matha Norena
Diana:
I received "La Paellera" today, thank you it was exactly
what we wanted. Please let me know when you have a promotion, so I can get
the smaller size pan.
I am having a dinner party for 30 people on the 18th, I
can't wait to show off my Paellera !
What is the smallest amount of Azafran that I can buy ? I like
to have some on hand, because I am sure I will be making paella often now.
Thanks again, Martha Norena From George Lee, Garlic Cafe, Hong Kong

Fernandez Jr,

From Al Jones Thank you for your fine service and
quality product. I received my new 17 inch paella pan and followed your recipe
and added raw oysters and some cubed pork (from a boneless pork chop). The
result was fantastic and my neighbor, who has owned restaurants and is a great
cook, thought it was fabulous. He helped me eat it as his wife was out of town
and returned the next night for leftovers and brought a friend. We ate it all!
Thank you for being available to answer questions and for being so helpful
when I have called you to ask questions. Best wishes for continued success.

From Cecelia Cruz Eurest Dining Services Hi Friends, Here you have the picture of our Paella today at Microsoft in Redmond, Wa. As you can see it looks beautiful, thanks for having these great paella pans. Regards, Cecilia Cruz Eurest Dining/Thompson Hospitality Food Service Director Millennium CafeFrom Erwin Schmitt Thank you Diana! It was very nice talking to you. Vamos a ver si me sale la Paella iqual de bueno en la paellera de SS.Saludos fuertes Erwin From Sue Martinez Thanks for the shipping info, Diana! My husband is from Spain and has been making paella Valencia for years. But our son recently got married. His birthday is in August and it's time for him to carry on the tradition. So I was thrilled to find a convenient place to order a paellera for him. Thanks for your help! Sue Martinez From Nancy Binger Hi Diana, I purchased the 16 inch pan for my son, Chris, for his birthday in May. I have forwarded you a photo that Chris sent to us as he and a co-worker, Brent, cooked up paella for their office picnic in San Francisco. Chris is an architect and Brent is a graphic designer at MBT Architecture in S.F. They both enjoy cooking and had the firm purchase the large pan from your company and cooked for everyone. Maybe you could put their photo on your site. Thanks. I recently made paella for the first time and used your recipe...all 10 guests loved it. Nancy Binger Long Island, NY From Ralph Romero Diana;
I heard
that a paste made from the spice CREAM OF TARTER and WHITE VINEGAR cleans
stains on aluminum pans. I tried it on my paellera. It works great!! I
thought I would pass the tip on to you and hopefully simplify you life a bit.

From Henry Krauzyk Hello John and Diana; Thank you for processing my order so quickly and for being so gracious and friendly on the phone. It was really nice to speak with you and I look forward to doing business and chatting with you in the future. Per our conversation and your request, I will be sending you some files and links demonstrating my work in advertising. I hope you enjoy it. Also per your request, I have included one of my non-seafood paella recipes in this E-mail. In it I use Portuguese chourico and not chorizo. Because of this I do not use paprika as the paella gets more than enough from the Chourico. If you need Portuguese chourico you can find it at: http://www.chourico.com Henry Krauzyk Comment on wines for consuming with paella Hello
Paellapan
I am very familiar with Vega Sicilia, is probably one of the best wines in the world without doubt. It is expensive but worth it. There are other wines like Protos, Campo Viejo, Vina Mayor, Pesquera, Alion, 5 Valbuena; This last two are from the same manufaturer of Vega Sicilia with a fraction of price, try to buy years ' 94,' 95,' 96 on all of them and to be a Reserva or even better Gran Reserva. I think that the years ' 99, ' 001 are also good but we will have to wait and see. There are many other brands, the trick is to select the Reserva and Gran reserva, the Rioja wines are typically drier, and the Ribera del Duero more fruit and aromatic. Regards. Alfonso

From Jim and Janet Mathews Morning: Just wanted to let you know how wonderful the paella pan worked out with our "Wines of Spain" wine tasting which my wife and I hosted Saturday nite. We used the paella recipe I printed off line from someone in Spain and it was tremendous, but the pan got most of the comments. We could have used the 13" pan as we had tons of paella left over. We used arborio rice which really cooked up well. Oh yeah, I guess the saffron packet you were planning to send got lost in shipping. One side of the carton was torn and it probably slid out thru the opening. Our experiment with saffron was a hot topic of the tasting. We bought two small jars of saffron from Spain from a local store. I ruined the first jar while trying to toast it so it could be crushed into a powder. $5.99 down the drain. I was careful with the second jar and toasted it properly, then crushed it to a powder using a liquor shot glass and the round end of a wooden spoon because we didn't have a mortar and pistil. We learned a lot about paella making, which is definitely a family affair. Other items we served were three goat cheeses from Spain, Spanish artichokes, Spanish olives (two different types), Spanish pork loin on tapas, two small cakes from Spain (fig and date), from scratch Spanish artichoke/spinach dip which got raves to say the least. Oh well, enough of this. Thanks again for your great pan and the very fast shipping. Some of our friends may be calling you for a pan some day, who knows. Jim & Janet MatthewsFrom Richard G Fernandez Hi Diana,
Thanks for the
email. The Paella came out delicious on my 18" paella pan which I got from
you. I figured that for the first time, things may not go to well, so I just
had my daughters and son-in-laws over. That way, if I screwed it up, I
wouldn't feel bad. But they all raved how good it was. I'm sorry I didn't have
a camera to take a picture to send to you. I will for the next one. I already
got the Paella bug and am already hinting to my wife how I probably should get
one of the larger pans with the burner so we can have more people over to
partake in it. That may take some doing.
Thanks for your
help and I will keep you posted and hopefully send you a picture on my next
venture in a couple of weeks.
Saludos
Richard
From: Sonsarae Vetromila Hi Diana, It was a pleasure speaking with you today. I am looking forward to receiving the pan and giving it as a gift. Thank you, Sonsarae Vetromila From: Catalina Meoz Thank you for my paella pan, it's wonderful! I received it yesterday, I will use it for the first time this Sunday! Thank you!!! Catalina From:Bari Levine The burner works great! I love the control-much better than setting the pan on the gas barbecue. Last night was not really a party-just another couple that we met while skiing in Utah. Turned out that they live only 5 mins from us, but we met in Utah. It gave me a chance to give the burner a test drive. Results were quite good. Now I think I have to decide on a bigger pan to actually use the outer ring on the burner. My present pan is 17" across the top. What would you suggest? BLFrom: William and Virginia Jacobs A few years ago we were in Spain and enjoyed paella so very much, now thanks to you we can now enjoy it in our home with the beautiful new stainless steel paella pan we purchased from you. We will come back to purchase this again for gifts for our friends. And with your recipe what a great and easy way to become a gourmet chef. Bill and Virginia Click here for picture From: Marty J. Lopez (Marty) The two other stainless steel pans arrived today. They look gorgeous. I've used the 34" and the results were wonderful Thank you very much. Marty From: Cathy Harvey Thank you, Diana! As always, it is a pleasure to be able to do business with such a nice person as you. The paella turned out as "the best ever!" Cathy From Joann Montepare I would like to use the pan for a very special event on Feb 3, 2002 and hope that I will be able to receive it by then...given your buyers' comments about your service I believe I will...thanks for your help! From Bari Levine Diana-All my stuff arrived early today. We had plans for dinner guests tonight, so in honor of our new equipment, I changed the menu from pasta to seafood paella. I will let you know how it goes. The tripod and the gas ring are a lot more substantial than I was expecting. My 17 inch pan is actually too small for the outer ring of the burner so I will just light the inner ring to keep from burning myself. It looks like I am headed towards buying a bigger pan from you. Nice marketing job on your part! Now I have a built in excuse for having more people over for paella more often. As you know very well already, people just go nuts for it, and it's one of those things that never is as good in a restaurant as what you make at home. Plus all the drama is big crowd pleaser. I'll send you my recipe for the seafood paella when I get around to writing it up. Also thanks for the extras in my order. Arroz negro cannot be far behind. Bari
From Allen Shumate Got the Paella pan you sent me last week, and had a great dinner with the family Wednesday -served 13 people out of the 20 inch pan. Thanks for sending it out 2 day. I'll be back soon to buy some more supplies! Allen Shumate From Joseph Rojas
I just ordered the 70 cm stainless steel pan and
paid it through PayPal. Thank you very much for your assistance. I have
been browsing your site and you can be certain I will be a repeat customer.

From Alexa Hanson Hi there, Just a note to let you know my pan arrived a few days ago safe and sound. I can hardly wait to use it. You must understand that living in Thermopolis Wyoming is certainly a challenge for finding fresh sea food and saffron, not to mention some of the other ingredients. Anyway, we are use to traveling 2 hours to get groceries at the big cities.Thank you so much for you quality merchandise and fast service. Regards, Alexa Hanson From Barbara Gabbe-Harris Very excited about cooking paella in my new pan! Thanks Barbara Gabbe-Harris From Don Trochio John & Diana Thanks for the saffron. As promised, you will find enclosed a Tee-Shirt size medium. I made some Paella a couple of days ago and surprisingly our recipes are very similar. The pan worked Great. Thanks again, Don Torchio, Santa Cruz, Ca. From Ed Solomon Diana I received my 15" paella pan and have already used it. Your recipe is wonderful. My family and friends thank you. Thanks for your help and sending a great product. I will definitely recommend your products and web site to all my cooking friends. I have already mentioned to several that you cannot make a good paella without a good paella pan and yours are the best! From Martin Snider Diana The Pan arrived yesterday! It will be a perfect gift for my friend who is an aficianado of Spanish cuisine. Thanks for the prompt handling of my order. Buen provecho. MS From: Estefa Paoner Diana, I just received the best paella pan today a 10:50am. You made my day. My daughter will enjoy cooking with this pan. Thanks for the saffron and my husband and I will try your sample. Estefa Paoner From: Antonio Portillo I received the paella pans today and I must say they came at a perfect time! Life can be so full of twist and turns, you know what I mean? Anyhow, I am very pleased with the purchase and look forward to my first "authentic" paella dinner. And speaking of, I will email you my recipe (it's a little dif than yours, I like to use pork ribs and a healthy rabbit when it can be found. Again THANK YOU and please look for your check in the mail. It should be there as soon as the postmaster makes his next delivery. Buen proveche! Antonio From: Pam R Blake Hi, Diana and John! I just wanted to let you know that the pans arrived in lots of time to be washed and seasoned and the paella was a tremendous success thanks to you two. We had 19 avid fans....so much so that I had to pack up in Tupperware whatever little was left to send a bit home with everyone! I am so glad that I took your advice and just ordered the smaller pans which fit beautifully on my stove. I had made so much, though, that I had to transfer some to a large roasting pan in the oven for the last few minutes. I gave Jim the tinta and the recipe, but he hasn't yet had a chance to try it. He knew exactly what it was and has used it in other dishes. Thank you from Jim Riley, Executive Chef, Lawrence Craig Distinctive Catering and Event Management, Maplewood, NJ. They do all sorts of stuff for Governor Whitman, the U.S. Equestrian Team, and lots of high-end galas. I gave my daughter, Amanda, her own pan after dinner along with a copy of your recipe, some saffron and some of my pimenton. She was thrilled as was her husband who also loves to cook. Thank you for your help. It was such a pleasure talking with you. Please stay in touch. Regards, Pam Blake From: David Conaway I have put a check in the mail, I look forward to receiving the burner. I can't wait to try it out! Thanks David Conaway From: Cathy Harvey Diana, You may not believe me, but I have already used all of the saffron that you sent about a month ago. I need to purchase two more boxes of the 20 paks, one for my brother and one for myself. You could either send both to me, or send one to me and one to my brother. Please note that I want to pay for both. Let me know what to do. Thanks, Cathy P.S. My paellas in my giant pan have turned out wonderfully. I love my huge pan. From: Kevin Garner Diana Fernandez I received the paella pan yesterday when I came home from work and would like to thank you for trusting me and expediting my order. There are still honest people in this crazy world. I would also like to thank you for sending the saffron and the recipes. You have helped me make my girlfriend happy for her birthday (tomorrow). Thank You, Kevin Garner From: Jeffrey Spencer Wright Diana Fernandez Anderson, The pans arrived in good order, and quickly. Thanks for the fine product and speedy service. Jeffrey Spencer Wright From: Alexandra Aubin from Las Vegas, NV Hi John & Diana
