The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. After-work summer parties in Bassett Green have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
