Columbia Delight

Experience an unforgettable Spanish dining experience at home with the Columbia Delight gift set, which brings the Columbia Restaurant's flavors and history, and heart to your kitchen. The traditional 38 cm paella pan contains a carefully selected collection that provides all necessary elements to celebrate the Spanish culinary traditions which have made the Columbia a Florida institution since 1905.

“The Columbia Restaurant Spanish Cookbook” stands as the central piece of this set because third-generation matriarch Adela Hernandez Gonzmart wrote it with love with friend Ferdie Pacheco. The family dedicated this treasured book to their love of hospitality while honoring the people who sustained the nation's largest Spanish restaurant throughout generations. The book contains 178 cherished recipes together with narratives that express the essence of this historic landmark.

The Columbia Delight includes Calasparra rice as its premium ingredient because this rice holds the “Denominacion de Origen” certification due to its mountain cultivation and pure cold-water irrigation. The package contains genuine Spanish saffron together with imported paprika and Spanish olives and our exclusive Columbia All-Purpose Seasoning which enhances both seafood and meat dishes as well as vegetables.

A Columbia meal requires our famous “1905” Salad Dressing made from olive oil, vinegar, garlic and Worcestershire sauce and a bottle of quality olive oil to complete your pantry. A hand-painted ceramic bell completes the package as a Spanish-inspired decorative piece that can be used in your kitchen or dining area.

The Columbia Delight allows you to experience our heritage through food by bringing our legendary paella recipes and tapas sharing traditions from our kitchen directly to your table.
