Prawn AlfredoPasta

Prawn 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.

Lamb Chops with Oregano and LemonMains

Lamb 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.

Pan-Roasted Chicken Breast with Pan SauceMains

Pan-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.

Miso RamenSoups

Miso 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.

Crispy-Skin Pan-Fried SalmonMains

Crispy-Skin Pan-Fried Salmon

Skin-side down for ninety per cent of the cooking time, weighted flat so it never curls. You barely touch it, and the skin shatters like a crisp.

Spaghetti Aglio e OlioPasta

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Five ingredients, twenty minutes, and the whole dish depends on getting the garlic exactly golden — a shade darker and the oil turns bitter.

Spaghetti alla CarbonaraPasta

Spaghetti alla Carbonara

No cream, ever. The sauce is just egg, cheese and pasta water, brought together off the heat so it turns silky instead of scrambling.

Diner-Style Smash BurgersMains

Diner-Style Smash Burgers

Thin patties pressed hard onto a screaming-hot pan for thirty seconds. All the flavour lives in that lacy, craggy brown crust.

Charred Lemon Chicken with OrzoMains

Charred Lemon Chicken with Orzo

Chicken thighs roasted over orzo that cooks in its own stock, finished with lemon halves charred until they taste almost caramelised.
