Step by step
The cooking is part of the entertainment. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring. In Rusper, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
