One of the great luxuries of Tartine Afterhours for me, as a cook, is the opportunity to cook the foods I love to eat most, and to feed people in the way that I want to be fed, which is to say abundantly, without pretense, family-style and with much love.

Because of the way that most restaurant kitchens are organized, serving family-style dishes just isn't very realistic, which is a great shame if you ask me. So I take excessive joy in being able to cook and serve the kinds of things that we restaurant cooks consider special-occasion dishes, things like paella, for instance.

And so, on the occasion that two of my dearest friends (and most badass cooks I know) will be joining me for the dinners this month, a grand paella is on order for dinner. I hope you can come, and that it's as special for you as it is for me!
