SPAIN · LIVE FIRE PAELLA
Paella al Fuego
THE INVITATION
The paella is cooked the traditional way, in a wide Spanish paellera, the pan built for feeding a whole table. The night opens with chilled gazpacho and a spread of tapas while the rice comes together. You'll hear the socarrat crackling against the bottom of the pan before your chef lifts it onto the table, and everyone eats from the same pan.
