How the day works
When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Henwood, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
