Une paella de rue attire les foules
La paella de rue est née de la collaboration entre la librairie Española et le chef d’origine espagnole Tigretón, qui se décrit comme un chef nomade, car il a œuvré dans son pays natal, à Londres et à New York avant de s’installer à Montréal.
Sa paella, mentionne-t-il, est faite de beaucoup d’amour et d’ingrédients presque tous biologiques.
«Ma paella n’est pas traditionnelle, elle est le résultat de toutes mes années à voyager à travers l’Espagne pour en apprendre sur le riz. Elle a trois styles différents, mais au bout du compte, c’est moi. C’est ma paella.»...

CTV News
The English Montreal School Board is promoting the program in their schools among all the students with ambassadors including dieticians and a chef to help spread the message.
Private Chef Tigretón was on hand for the event, and said growing up in Spain and cooking with his father in the Pyrenees helped shape his love of healthy foods.
“I think it’s all about love. I think it’s our duty as adults to teach kids how to cook, how to eat, the love of food. The kitchen should be a friendly, open environment where anyone can join. If you cook something and it tastes horrible, that’s okay! Next time it will taste better,” he said.
