Mains
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.
45 minServes 4Medium
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.
30 minServes 4Easy
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.
40 minServes 4Medium
MainsOven-Baked BBQ Ribs
No smoker, no grill. Four hours in a low oven, wrapped tight, then glazed and blasted — and one small step at the start that most people skip entirely.

MainsPub Cheeseburger
A thick patty cooked to a blushing middle, which is the opposite of a smash burger in every way that matters. Handle it as little as you can bear.

MainsChicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy
Beef, not chicken — it takes the name from being fried the way chicken is. Tenderised thin, double-dredged, and served under a gravy made in the same pan.

MainsCrispy Whole Roast Duck
Scalded, lacquered and air-dried overnight before it ever sees the oven. The drying is not a flourish — it is the only way the skin turns to glass.

MainsRoast Turkey with Butter Under the Skin
Dry-brined for two days, roasted breast-down for the first hour, and rested for forty minutes. Dry turkey is caused by every one of those three steps being skipped.

MainsChicken Curry with Toasted Spices
Whole spices toasted and ground, and onions cooked far past the point most recipes stop. Twenty-five minutes of onions is the difference between a curry and a stew with curry powder in it.

MainsPan-Roasted Chicken Breast with Pan Sauce
Skin-on breast, started in a cold pan and finished in the oven, with a sauce built from what sticks to the bottom. Dry chicken breast is a timing problem, not a cut problem.

MainsPork Carnitas Tacos
Pork simmered in its own fat until the liquid goes and the frying begins. The whole trick is knowing not to stop at the tender stage — the crisp edges come after.
