What happens on the day
Once the rice is in, we do not stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell typically draws people over. Evening receptions in Bury's Bank stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
