Bowl food

What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. After-work summer parties in Hambrook have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
