How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. At midsummer, sunset in Three Leg Cross is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
