Mains
SnacksTiropita (Greek Cheese Pie)
Feta and ricotta between layers of filo brushed with butter, one sheet at a time. The work is repetitive and the payoff is a top that shatters.

SidesBeer-Battered Onion Rings
Cold beer, a lumpy batter and oil that never drops below 180°C. The bubbles in the beer are doing structural work, so mix it at the last possible moment.

SidesButtery Mashed Potatoes
Started in cold water, dried in the pan, and finished with warm milk. Gluey mash is not a potato problem — it is a temperature and a technique problem.
35 minServes 6Easy
BreakfastCrispy Hash Browns
Grated, rinsed, and then wrung out far harder than feels polite. Every drop of water you leave in is a drop of crispness you will not get.
35 minServes 4Easy
PastaPrawn Alfredo
The American cream version rather than the Roman original, and none the worse for it. The prawns come out of the pan before the sauce goes in.
30 minServes 4Easy
MainsMaryland Crab Cakes
Barely enough binder to hold them together, and an hour in the fridge doing the rest. A crab cake you can taste the breadcrumbs in has already failed.

SnacksSmoked Mackerel Pâté
Ten minutes, no cooking, and the only real decision is how much of it to blitz. Half smooth and half flaked is the texture worth aiming for.
15 minServes 6Easy
SaladsTuna Salad
Tuna in oil, drained but not wrung out, and everything else cut small enough to disappear into it. The crunch matters as much as the fish does.
15 minServes 4Easy
PizzaChicago Deep-Dish Pizza
Cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top, and a crust closer to pastry than to bread. Built upside down for a reason — forty minutes in the oven would incinerate cheese left on the surface.

MainsLamb Chops with Oregano and Lemon
Eight minutes in the pan, and most of the work is standing the chops on their fat edge first. Render that strip properly and the whole dish tastes better.

MainsPhilly Cheesesteak
Ribeye shaved almost to transparency and chopped on the griddle as it cooks. Everything about this sandwich is decided in the first two minutes.
