What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Buckland, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:30pm.
