Chef's tips

Six things we say every week

  1. 01

    Read it twice

    Read the whole recipe before you light the stove. Then read it again.

  2. 02

    Wash as you go

    A clean station is a calm cook. Keep a bowl of soapy water nearby.

  3. 03

    Taste the stock

    Season the stock before you add anything else. It is too late at the end.

  4. 04

    Hot oil, then food

    Test oil with a drop of batter. If it sinks and stays, wait.

  5. 05

    Rest your dough

    Dough that fights back needs ten more minutes, not more flour.

  6. 06

    Low and slow

    Palm oil burns. Medium heat and patience give the colour you want.
