LA SOCIEDAD PART 1

My trip to la Socieodad was a total success. The food and fellowship was incredible.  I was able to witness multiple groups within the society prepare Basque favorites such as Chuletta, (Bone-In Rib-Eye steaks), Rape  con patatas (monkfish with potatoes) and others.  I worked with Roco, the head chef in our group.  He prepared Cantabrian Anchovies, Pimento Pequillos (Sweet Red Peppers), Chuletta y solomillo (rib-eye and sirloins) and a fantastic seafood pasta dish with shrimp, clams, and octopus.  Roco had a method to his madness and taught me a number of new tricks.  Not only was the food great but the camaraderie was incomparable.  Pics and video and recipes soon to follow.  BE SURE TO CHECK YOUTUBE HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zf-E8IrvNoU NOW FOR THE SHORT CLIP/TRIP TO SOLBES.

LA SOCIEDAD

A special time for me and all involved - La Sociedad.  Its history is longand storied.  I feel privileged, not only to have the honor to participate, but to film and contribute to tomorrows meal.  Stay tuned for all the details, action, history and good times.

There was a problem with the video upload.  I have to meet friends for a fabulous dinner I will chronicle later.   Stay tuned, the Solbes video will be up as soon as I can establish more internet time!

Enjoy this quick snippet from a trip around the block to Solbes.
Wednesday, I took a trip to "Solbes", a famous, well-known market for all goodies gourmet.  A small, quaint shop, it is surprisingly packed with  all the goodies one could need for a gourmet experience.   From the best Jamons, Jamon de Jabugo, and Chorizos, to hand-packed, artisanal, regional vegetables - it's all here.  They also offer a  great selection of fantastic, local wines and fresh, in-season vegetables.  A walk through the narrow aisles will inspire numerous dishes and snack ideas.  Let your creative senses get the best of you at Solbes, San Sebastian Spain!
