Choux pastry is usually baked but for beignets it is fried. In Spain and Latin America, churros are made of fried choux pastry, sugared and dipped in a thin chocolate blancmange for breakfast. In Austrian cuisine, it is also boiled to make Marillenknödel, a sweet apricot dumpling; in that case it does not puff, but remains relatively dense. They are sometimes filled with cream and used to make cream puffs or éclairs. A profiterole, cream puff (US) or choux à la crème is a choux pastry ball filled with whipped cream, pastry cream, or (particularly in the US) ice cream. The puffs may be decorated or left plain or garnished with chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar. source: wikipedia

For a low-fat version, I realized that it is possible! Nonna Marcella (Giulia's grandma) has shared such a recipe! It is an Italian family recipe, takes 15 minutes to prepare, and 25 minutes to cook it. The main ingredients for the choux pastries are extra virgin olive oil, water, flour and eggs!

Paella is a Valencian rice dish that originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century near lake Albufera, a lagoon in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain. Valencians, in turn, regard paella as one of their identifying symbols.

There are three widely known types of paella: Valencian paella, seafood paella and mixed paella, but there are many others as well. Valencian paella consists of white rice, green vegetables, meat (rabbit, chicken, duck), land snails, beans and seasoning. Seafood paella replaces meat and snails with seafood and omits beans and green vegetables. Mixed paella is a free-style combination of meat, seafood, vegetables and sometimes beans.

Most paella chefs use calasparra or bomba rice for this dish. Other key ingredients include saffron and olive oil.

We shared this photo of lamb. One funny person drew my attention as he commented "Is the oven on?" Well, I think this rack of lamb is half cooked.

And here's the Gordon Ramsay lamb video recipe
