About the dishes
Vegan paella
Vegans get a hot, filling dish.
Giant paella pans
The giant pan is the star.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. For an evening event in Molash, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
