New Paella “Monheim am Rhein” with Oyster Mushrooms, fresh Sausage, pork tenderloin, chicken breast and Piquillo Pepper for a private event!! I am not in business but enjoy cooking!!! And this Sunday, two more paellas to celebrate the Empress’s 4th Birthday!!
❤️
First paella for a business event in Germany. I don’t do it often but in this case the order came from a VIP Customer: my lovely wife!!! Paella BIlbao Style am Rhein for 100 people. Yes, I used chorizo since it was Bilbao Style. Paella was returned with no single grain left.
Garlic with shrimp to delight the palate of my friend and fisherman Juan and, of course, my wife that loves garlic more than shrimp, so I changed the proportions due to her!!!
Cooking a Vegan Paella for our new neighbors’ daughters’ anniversary!! ❤️

I never thought that my next step in croquettes business could be croquettes for elephants!!!
Is awakening in ? We do not know yet but we are testing our products for this new market!!
This is the first batch of croquettes and we chose the Running of the bulls Croquettes since they were very popular in Saint Louis!!!
Importing US Traditions to Germany. When a baby is born in the neighborhood, neighbors will organize your lunch and/or dinner for a week to give you quality of time with the newborn. We had two new babies in our 18 houses “subdivision” in the last four weeks. 🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘🥘
It’s probably the last paella I cook in Saint Louis before we move to Germany. “Paella Bilbao” for a Block Party to farewell two couples leaving, celebrate several baby additions and to continue a tradition rooted in 4700 Westminster Pl Block’s DNA!! We have enjoyed these last 9 years in the best neighborhood you could ever live in. We were welcomed in 2011 with notes, cookies, wine & champagne and we leave with many new friends. Thank you neighbors for all the good memories we take with us.
The Salume Beddu Trio, like the three tenors, each has its own “voice”.
Excellent for a charcuterie plate. Buy and eat local!
The Croquetterie was closed in December due to family reasons. Our heiress Ona was born in June. However, we have still been active helping people during the isolation at home with some cooking classes.
This weekend should have been celebrated the Festival of Nations that we have attended six times as the Spanish Food Booth. But as you know it was cancelled due to Covid-19 although the International Institute’s Amazing Team has created the Virtual Taste of Nations and they used one my last year’s paella cooking class as the Cover photo in the website.
But there is more, I have been invited to teach some Spanish recipes live on Zoom this coming Sunday at 1pm (CST).
Do you want to learn how to cook Gazpacho and Salmorejo? Join me for 1 hour and enjoy one of the most refreshing Spanish foods for the hottest Summer days.

Final presentation of MIGAS, made with sourdough, chorizo, local brats, full palette peppers, garlic and EVOO
As I mentioned in one of my last posts, I wanted to share with you more global foods with local ingredients:
1. intentionally leftover sourdough
2. Garlic
3. Local Brats
4. Local Bacon
5. chorizo
6. Green, yellow, red and orange peppers
What could be cooked with all these ingredients? MIGAS that translated into English would mean Breadcrumbs but it’s more than that.
Steps for your own migas:
1. Soak in water with a pinch of salt a sourdough intentional left over.
2. Fry some unpeeled garlic cloves in a pan or better a wok. Once golden remove them from the pan but keep the garlic oil in the pan.
3. Stir the slightly wet sourdough in small pieces until golden and dry.
4. Fry separately bacon, chorizo, sausage... everything pork and remove the extra fat.
5. Fry in a different pan some peppers.
Here is where my mother in law’s recipe and mine would differ: she would mix every separate ingredient in her plate or mine: I would mix everything on the pan and serve it mixed.
Both ways would work so do whatever you like!!!!
@ Central West End, St. Louis
The best Cuban Cuisine in the MidWest!! We had brunch with Empanadas of Meat, Chorizo and Cheese!! @ Tower Grove Farmers' Market
I stopped by this morning to say hello to whom I considered my business family for the last three years. Great people, hard workers, early birds and welcoming vendors.

Same great vendors, great produce, food to go, cocktails, chocolate, coffee to go, etc...

Morale is important while staying at home. But.. what about your stomach? Is it not important? Let’s have fun, cook some tapas, that you will be able to replicate when freedom of socializing or familyzing will be normal, and drink something while cooking. IG does not allow you to talk so I thought it would be worthier for everyone if we are a small group that can also talk not just type. Send me an email to get you onboard and I will send you and email with instructions.
