On a day in mid-October, I tried cooking paella, a Spanish dish for the first time. Several months back, I had tried ajillo and it went pretty well.

When I first wrote about Tapanade during my “sneak peak” in January 2014, I was greatly impressed by the sophistication and style of Tapanade, both for its ambitious menu and avante garde ambiance. I’m a sucker for art and their larger than life Picasso re-prints captured my mind.

One of the things I really enjoy is eating a simple Sunday breakfast as opposed to gorging myself on a giant buffet spread. I had attempted to get to Tapanade to try the Salmon Benedict I'd seen on a FaceBook post.
