BreakfastCreamy Breakfast Oatmeal
Rolled oats, a pinch of salt, and constant stirring. The salt is not optional — porridge made without it tastes like wet cardboard no matter what you put on top.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BakingBrown Butter Olive Oil Cake
Two fats doing two jobs: browned butter for nuttiness, olive oil for a crumb that stays damp for days. It is better on day two than on day one.
