Good evening, cook.
Heat the pan before the oil, salt the water like the sea, and taste before you plate. Everything else is practice.
Sixty dishes worth the evening.
Every recipe here earns its place: a reason it works, honest timings, the heat for each step and the moment people usually get wrong.
The stove is lit.
One step at a time. The flame matches the heat the step asks for. Space starts the timer, arrows move between steps.
Choose a recipe from the book and the first step appears here.
Seven nights, one list.
Put a dish on each night, or let the book draft a week with no cuisine twice and nothing over an hour on weeknights. The shopping list writes itself.
The list, by aisle.
Everything the week needs, merged and grouped the way the shop is laid out. Tick as you go. Things already in your pantry are left off.
What is in the house.
Tick what you have. The book ranks every recipe by how much of it is already in your kitchen, and names the one thing you would need to buy.
Fourteen moves behind every great dish.
Recipes tell you what. Technique tells you why it worked and how to make it work again. Tap a card and the stove shows the heat it lives at.
Two people or twelve.
Scale any recipe to the table, convert the units a recipe was written in, and find out what to use when the shop was out of it.
