Paella makes great evening food.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Book early for summer Saturdays
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
- Include any suppliers you are feeding
The pans are frequently set up where guests can see them, which makes a lovely backdrop for photos.
Finish with Spanish desserts or your cake.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
