Patience pays off with braised dishes. Searing builds browned flavours, then a good sauce develops over gentle heat. You’ll also find pan and oven dishes for quicker meals.

The cooking guide keeps the ingredients and instructions at hand in each recipe. You decide when to move on.

A little cooking know-how

Good ingredients.
Simply explained.

Three tips to get you started. Each recipe gives its precise quantities, cooking times and variations.

Choosing potatoes

Waxy varieties hold their shape better in salads and fried potatoes. Floury varieties suit mash; the particular choice depends on the recipe.

Seasoning sauces

Salt, acidity and a little sweetness affect one another. Taste especially after reducing a sauce.

Using leftovers well

Cool cooked food quickly, refrigerate and reheat thoroughly. Follow the advice for the individual dish.
