History

My father was a chef, and when I was very young I used to help my father prepare all kinds of French, Chinese and Peruvian dishes. I come from a French and Spanish family with roots in Peru. After my retirement in 2002 from United Airlines as an Engineer, having worked for 36 years, I wanted to pursuit my passion which was cooking, so I established my business Hola Paella Catering Service, which offers only Spanish Paellas. There are too many caterers specialized in other products, and I wanted something different to offer people that enjoy good food. This is how Hola Paella was born. Cooking has always been of great importance in the Craff family. Fernando's love of cooking and traveling has taken him to Spain on multiple occasions and this is where his interest in tha paella, a staple in Valencian cuisine, was born. He has invested countless hours in the kitchen in his quest for the creation of the most delicious paella which he truly has mastered.

Fabulous food and amazing family running this business! Every guest raved about the Valencia paella and the vegetarian one was even completely empty by the end. We'll absolutely be hiring them again.
