These wings are baked until crispy then tossed in a sweet-savoury glaze that caramelises in the oven. They're the ultimate crowd-pleaser — I make these for every party and there are never leftovers.
Everything cooks in one pot — pasta, mushrooms, garlic, cream — and the starch from the pasta creates the silkiest sauce you've ever had. This is my ultimate lazy-gourmet dinner.
Thick, cloud-like pancakes with a custardy centre and golden crust. They take a little patience but the result is worth every minute — these are the pancakes that get the most reactions on my socials.
Individual chocolate cakes with a centre that stays perfectly molten. These feel incredibly impressive but are shockingly simple — just 6 ingredients and 15 minutes in the oven. My favourite dessert for date night at home.
Golden panko-crusted chicken cutlets served with a rich, fragrant Japanese curry sauce. I make the sauce from scratch with a secret ingredient that gives it incredible depth. This is comfort food at its absolute best.
