A taste of Valencia - Paella & Horchata As part of a new series of workshops celebrating authentic regional cuisine from around the world, we invite you to discover the true flavours behind one of Spain’s most iconic regions.
Join us at Perth City Farm this July for a delicious deep dive in to the rich culinary traditions of Valencia in this immersive cooking experience.
Together we’ll explore the history of traditional paella, discussing and preparing ingredients side by side before watching the dish come to life in a guided demonstration using authentic techniques, equipment, and ingredients. We’ll create two variations: a vibrant vegetarian paella using fresh produce straight from the garden and a version including meat, while also enjoying some delicious horchata, another Valencian speciality.
Along the way, you’ll learn the history and cultural significance of these recipes, where to source key ingredients locally, and how to confidently recreate them at home including practical substitutions. This class blends hands-on learning with storytelling, flavour, and connection.
Enjoy a relaxed, social and inclusive atmosphere as you sip on horchata, share a generous serving of paella, and leave with new skills, recipes, and inspiration to bring a taste of Valencia into your own kitchen.
