Paella, the early years

Recipe by Ken Wallich Prep time: 30 minutes Cooking time: 2-1/2 to 3 hours Yield: 4-6 servings I’ve since refined this recipe a bit. After cooking many paellas, getting hints from some amazing chef friends. I do keep a lot of it the same, I really like the basic broth, but do a few things differently now. Paella is, at its heart, a rice dish. Once you get a stock you like, and practice slowly cooking the rice with it, that alone makes a wonderful dish.

Herb's shrimp in wine sauce

Recipe by Herbert Wallich, fine tuned for simplicity by Ken Wallich A childhood comfort-food favorite. My dad (Herb) used to make this once, maybe twice a year. It was a special treat because meals were mostly low-cost meat and potatoes and boiled veggies, Dad only cooked once in a while, french toast on weekends, crab on occasion (Dungeness crab was relatively cheap when I was a kid, and you could catch it yourself in SF bay), and only when he’d saved up enough to pay for the more expensive ingredients like prawns would we get this.

The Shed Review

Summary Cusine – BBQ Ambiance – Extremely casual Location – Ocean Springs Mississippi Rating – Highly recommended A good friend grew up in Ocean Springs, and suggested if I was in New Orleans, that it was a short 2 hour drive to her home town, and "the best BBQ in the world". Pretty high praise, and as a BBQ addict, that’s a pretty tall order. I find The Shed, not hard to find, and it indeed is a shed.
