Pizza
BreakfastFluffy American Pancakes
Buttermilk, a lumpy batter and a pan that is cooler than you think. Three small things that between them add about a centimetre of height.
25 minServes 4Easy
BreakfastSkillet Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Mayonnaise on the outside instead of butter, and a lid on the pan. One browns more evenly, the other melts the cheese before the bread burns.
15 minServes 2Easy
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.
10 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
MainsTexas-Style Beef Chili
Chunks of braising steak rather than mince, dried chillies toasted and blitzed into a paste, and no beans — which in Texas is not a suggestion.
3 hrServes 6Medium
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
MainsButtermilk Fried Chicken
An overnight buttermilk brine, a craggy double-dredge, and oil held steadily at 165°C. Patience at every stage, and it rewards all of it.

MainsPan-Seared Ribeye with Garlic Butter
Salted an hour ahead, seared dry and hard, then basted in foaming butter. A meat thermometer does more for a steak than any amount of confidence.
45 minServes 2Medium
MainsDiner-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.

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.
