BreakfastAvocado Toast with Chilli and Lime
Mashed with a fork, never blended, and seasoned far more aggressively than feels right. Under-salted avocado is the reason most versions taste flat.

Breakfast
BreakfastThick-Cut French Toast
Day-old bread, cut thick, soaked properly rather than dipped. Stale bread is not a compromise here — fresh bread turns to mush in the custard.
25 minServes 4Easy
DessertsCremeschnitte
The Lake Bled custard slice: a thick layer of vanilla custard, a cloud of cream, and two sheets of puff pastry. It needs a long chill, and there is no shortcut.

BreakfastThe Perfect French Omelette
Pale, barely set and rolled rather than folded. No colour at all on the outside — a browned French omelette is, strictly speaking, a failed one.

PastaSpaghetti 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.
20 minServes 4Easy
SnacksTortilla Chips with Salsa and Guacamole
Corn tortillas baked rather than fried, plus a raw pico de gallo and a guacamole that is mashed, never blended.
35 minServes 6Easy
SnacksTriple-Cooked French Fries
Simmered, dried, then fried twice at two different temperatures. Tedious, entirely worth it, and the reason restaurant chips taste the way they do.

Hot drinksRich Dark Hot Chocolate
Made with chopped real chocolate rather than cocoa powder, and thickened with nothing but the chocolate itself. Thick enough to coat the spoon.
15 minServes 2Easy
Cold drinksReal Homemade Lemonade
A cooked sugar syrup rather than sugar stirred into cold water, so nothing grits at the bottom of the jug. The zest goes in too — that's where the lemon flavour actually lives.
20 minServes 6Easy
PastaBaked Mac and Cheese
Cheese grated by hand and added off the heat, so the sauce stays glossy instead of splitting into oily strings under the grill.
55 minServes 6Medium
BakingGarlic Bread with Parsley Butter
Raw garlic grated to a paste, not chopped, so it melts into the butter instead of catching and turning bitter in the oven.
25 minServes 6Easy
BakingOverripe Banana Bread
The blacker the bananas the better the loaf. Melted butter instead of creamed, one bowl, and no mixer to wash up afterwards.
