Spanish term or phrase: cocinada al momento
Hope this is my last question for the menu. One dish is "paella cocinada al momento". I've though of two or three possibilities but they don't satisfy me. Thanks in advance to those who know best.

Thanks, John. Since the paella won't be ordered as it's a special dinner event where dishes will be available to all, who can choose to have any of them or not, your reply is the most appropriate. And thanks to the other colleagues for their efforts. Regards, Pampi
