Mains
PastaPrawn Alfredo
The American cream version rather than the Roman original, and none the worse for it. The prawns come out of the pan before the sauce goes in.
30 minServes 4Easy
PizzaChicago Deep-Dish Pizza
Cheese on the bottom, sauce on the top, and a crust closer to pastry than to bread. Built upside down for a reason — forty minutes in the oven would incinerate cheese left on the surface.

MainsLamb Chops with Oregano and Lemon
Eight minutes in the pan, and most of the work is standing the chops on their fat edge first. Render that strip properly and the whole dish tastes better.

MainsOven-Baked BBQ Ribs
No smoker, no grill. Four hours in a low oven, wrapped tight, then glazed and blasted — and one small step at the start that most people skip entirely.

SnacksSloppy Joes
Reduced until it mounds on the spoon rather than running off it. The name promises mess, but a sloppy joe that soaks through the bun before you lift it has been undercooked.

MainsChicken Fried Steak with Cream Gravy
Beef, not chicken — it takes the name from being fried the way chicken is. Tenderised thin, double-dredged, and served under a gravy made in the same pan.

MainsRoast Turkey with Butter Under the Skin
Dry-brined for two days, roasted breast-down for the first hour, and rested for forty minutes. Dry turkey is caused by every one of those three steps being skipped.

SnacksHomemade Chicken Nuggets
Minced chicken rather than chopped, which is what gives the smooth bite of the ones from a box — except you can see everything that went in.

MainsChicken Curry with Toasted Spices
Whole spices toasted and ground, and onions cooked far past the point most recipes stop. Twenty-five minutes of onions is the difference between a curry and a stew with curry powder in it.

MainsPan-Roasted Chicken Breast with Pan Sauce
Skin-on breast, started in a cold pan and finished in the oven, with a sauce built from what sticks to the bottom. Dry chicken breast is a timing problem, not a cut problem.

SnacksCrispy Baked Chicken Wings
Baking powder and an overnight sit in the fridge, and the skin comes out of the oven as crisp as fried. No pan of hot oil, no clearing up afterwards.
