What you actually learn
Why the rice layer is thin and never stirred, what the socarrat at the bottom of the pan is and how to get it, and the difference between a Valencian paella and the rice dishes people eat here — arroz a banda, arroz del senyoret. You leave with the recipe and a reasonable chance of repeating it at home.
