My favorites paella description is from @David Ross you probably are familiar - the Time Life Foods of the World series. More recently (pre-Pandemic) I was enticed across the farmers market parking lot location by Bernard Ibarra. I think a dish that needs to be eaten in the open, on the spot when hunger is in high gear.
