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.

Mains
MainsSlow-Roast Lamb Shoulder with Garlic and Rosemary
Four hours at a low temperature and almost no attention. Shoulder has too much connective tissue to cook quickly, which is exactly why it rewards leaving alone.
4 hr 50 minServes 6Easy
MainsTwice-Cooked Pork Belly
Simmered first, chilled, then sliced thin and fried until the edges curl and cup. The second cooking is where it earns its name and all of its texture.
1 hrServes 4Medium
SaladsCobb Salad
Everything chopped to the same size and laid out in stripes rather than tossed. The arrangement is the recipe — you dress and mix it at the table.
40 minServes 4Easy
SaladsClassic Caesar Salad
Anchovy mashed to a paste, egg yolk whisked to an emulsion, and croutons fried in the garlic oil. No bottled dressing comes close.

PizzaWhite Pizza with Ricotta and Garlic
No tomato at all. Ricotta, garlic oil and mozzarella, finished with lemon zest and rocket so it never tastes as heavy as it sounds.
25 hrServes 4Medium
PizzaNew York-Style Pepperoni Pizza
A larger, thinner, foldable slice with a cooked sauce and low-moisture mozzarella. Use cup-and-char pepperoni and it curls into little pools of paprika oil.

SoupsMiso Ramen
The weeknight ramen. The miso paste is fried in aromatics before the stock goes in, which takes a 40-minute bowl a surprising distance towards an all-day one.
45 minServes 4Medium
SoupsShoyu Ramen
Built in three separate parts — tare, broth and toppings — the way real ramen shops do it. Assemble in the bowl, not the pot, and never boil the noodles in the soup.

SoupsMussel and Saffron Soup
The mussels make their own stock in four minutes flat. Strain that liquor carefully, build the soup on it, and you get depth that no fish stock in a carton comes close to.

MainsGrilled Shark Steak with Chilli and Lime
A dense, meaty steak that grills more like beef than fish. Soak it in milk first — that one step is what removes the ammonia note shark is notorious for.
45 minServes 4Medium
SnacksSalt and Pepper Squid
Cornflour rather than batter, so the coating stays light and shatters. Squid cooks in ninety seconds — past that it turns to rubber and never comes back.
