Vegetables as the main event. Roast-hot, charred, slow-braised, tender — never boiled into anonymity. Mushrooms treated like the meat substitute they actually are.

Grilled Corn with Herb Compound Butter

Grilled corn on the cob is the defining side dish of the American summer barbecue — requiring almost no preparation, producing spectacular results, and improving everything eaten alongside it with a hit of smoke and sweetness. When corn is grilled directly on hot grates without the husk, the natural sugars caramelize against the hot metal, producing the characteristic charred, lightly sweet flavor that boiling or steaming cannot replicate. A herb compound butter — softened butter blended with fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon zest — is made ahead, rolled into a log, and sliced into rounds that melt over the hot corn the moment it comes off the grill. This recipe also includes a Mexican elote variation: the classic Mexico City street corn treatment of mayonnaise, cotija cheese, chili powder, and lime that transforms the same grilled cob into something entirely different.

Grilled Vegetable Platter

A grilled vegetable platter is the most underrated item at any barbecue — and the most versatile. Where meat requires precise temperature control and resting times, vegetables are forgiving: they tell you when they are done by releasing from the grates, and they improve with a few minutes of rest, during which the heat equalises and the marinade or dressing soaks in. The technique is the same across all vegetables: oil them generously (oil on the vegetable, not just the grate), grill on medium-high direct heat for the time each vegetable needs, and dress them hot — a vinaigrette applied to hot vegetables is absorbed rather than sitting on the surface. The key to a beautiful platter is timing: eggplant and peppers need the most time; zucchini and asparagus need the least. The trick is to work in sequence, pulling each vegetable as it finishes, and to arrange everything on one platter together so the final dish is warm and accessible.

High-Fiber White Bean & Chickpea Skillet

White beans and chickpeas in a garlicky tomato base with smoked paprika and wilted spinach — one skillet, 25 minutes, around 18 g of fiber per serving. This is the kind of dinner that looks simple and then keeps you full for four hours. No meat, no gluten, and genuinely good enough to make on a weeknight without thinking of it as a compromise. Serve with crusty bread or flatbread to drag through the sauce.

Mushroom Wellington

A log of portobello mushrooms, duxelles, wilted spinach, and caramelized onion wrapped in golden, shattering puff pastry. This is the dish that makes vegan holiday cooking feel genuinely festive rather than compensatory. The key is managing moisture at every stage — mushrooms that are properly dried, spinach that is squeezed out, a filling that is cold when it meets the pastry. Get those things right and the pastry bakes crisp and dry rather than soggy at the base. The scored top, the knife going through the layers, the steam that rises — it's one of those dishes that impresses the table before anyone has even tasted it.

Mushroom, Spring Onion and Chilli Crisp Filo Bake

Layers of shattering filo pastry wrapped around a savory mushroom and spring onion filling, every sheet brushed with a mix of melted butter and chilli crisp. The result is somewhere between a Turkish börek and an Asian-inspired bake — deeply golden on top, fragrant with sesame and chilli oil, with the filling still juicy inside. One of those dishes where the technique is simple but the payoff looks and tastes unreasonably good.

Patatas Bravas

Patatas bravas — literally 'fierce potatoes' — is one of the most ordered tapas dishes in Spain. The concept is simple: crispy fried or roasted potatoes served with a smoky, spiced tomato sauce called salsa brava and a drizzle of garlic aioli. The potatoes need two things to be genuinely good: a fluffy interior and a crisp exterior that holds up under the sauce. The baking soda trick in the parboiling water roughens the potato surface and dramatically improves crispiness whether you roast or fry. The bravas sauce is built on smoked paprika — pimentón de la Vera, the sweet-smoky Spanish kind — which is non-negotiable. The aioli is simply good mayonnaise with fresh garlic and lemon.
