Breakfast
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
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
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.

SnacksFried Sardines with Lemon
Whole sardines in seasoned flour, shallow-fried hard and hit with lemon. Cheap, sustainable, and better than most things three times the price.

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.
20 minServes 2Easy
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.

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.

SaladsCrispy Chickpea and Herb Salad
More herbs than leaves, with chickpeas fried until they rattle in the pan. A lunch that holds up for hours instead of wilting in twenty minutes.
