Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask guests about diets and allergies
- Ask for labels on each dish
- Allow more variety if tapas are the whole meal
- Separate seafood dishes from the rest
Tapas go out to the tables at the start of the meal.
