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.

Spice & sweetness

Sweet ingredients change the perception of heat. Taste gradually rather than only adding more chilli.

Keeping vegetables firm

Cut size affects cooking time. Small cubes soften faster.

Watching the oven surface

A golden surface does not automatically mean the centre is cooked. Follow the doneness checks.
