To start we’ve got a refreshing, chilled gazpacho soup made from tomato, cucumber and peppers. Next, one of Valencia’s most famous exports - and to some the national dish of Spain - paella! It’s the perfect dish to share on date night, even if you’re fighting over those crispy bits at the bottom of the pan! Finally, a zingy orange granita flavoured with lemon verbena and cinnamon and served with slightly bitter caramelised oranges.

Husband is diabetic and limited on carbs so split our paella spices and cooked half with rice and half with cauliflower. Delicious.

That paella looks perfect, Sue - great work!
