Planning the cooking area

- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
