The menu, dish by dish
Giant paella pans
A pan the size of a cartwheel, full of saffron rice.
Vegan paella
A proper vegan main, in its own pan.
Should I cook it myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
