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.

MainsSeared Duck Breast with Cherry Sauce
The fat comes off in a cold pan over a low heat, slowly, until the skin is glass-thin and crisp. Rush this and you get chewy skin over grey meat.

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.

MainsSalmon and Avocado Maki Rolls
The rice is the dish. Season it while it is hot, cool it to body temperature, and never refrigerate it — cold rice goes hard and the rolls fall apart.

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.

MainsCrispy-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.

MainsSeared Tuna Steak with Sesame
Ninety seconds a side on a pan hot enough to frighten you. The centre stays ruby red, and that is not undercooked — it is the entire point.

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.

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.

MainsCharred 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.
