The dish has evolved over the centuries—the original paella had no conventional meat or seafood, but was made with the more affordable snails!

Paella has become a great party dish. Not only do the current ingredients—chorizo, chicken, seafood and other proteins—make it a delicious and fun main course, but it makes a great buffet centerpiece for parties.

Celebrate National Paella Day on March 27th. Enjoy the history of paella and a paella recipe and then plan a party or a large family gathering.

Forget the same old, same old. Pour something special to talk about over Easter dinner.

Think of Lachryma Christi (“Tears of Christ”). Or Saint Joseph “Offerus” from Jean Louis Chave: It comes from France’s great Rhone appellation named after Joseph of Arimathea, who donated his own prepared tomb for the burial of Jesus after the crucifixion.

Both wines are delicious and can precipitate a dinner table discussion about the meaning of Easter. Read more about them.

Four exotic, solid chocolate bunnies are ready to hop your way:

• Amalfi Bunny (white chocolate, lemon zest and pink peppercorns)
• Barcelona Bunny (hickory-smoked almonds and grey sea salt)
• Orchid Vanilla Bunny (62% dark chocolate with Tahitian vanilla)
• Toffee Bunny (43% dark milk chocolate with toffee chunks and pink Himalayan salt).They’re tasty but petite—2.5 ounces each—so you don’t have to feel guilty about finishing the last bite.
