Knafeh with Pistachios and Orange Blossom

Knafeh is the great sweet of the Levant: a layer of mild, stretchy cheese buried between two layers of buttered kataifi pastry, baked until the shredded strands turn deep gold, then drenched in cold orange blossom syrup the moment it leaves the oven. Salty and sweet, crisp and molten at once, it's eaten warm while the cheese still pulls, scattered with green pistachios. In Lebanon it's as much a breakfast, tucked into sesame bread, as a dessert.

Cabbage Boil (Whole Baked Cabbage with Spiced Butter)

A cabbage boil is a viral American dish: a whole head of green cabbage, cored, packed with garlic and cajun spiced butter, and baked until a knife slides through the centre without resistance. Nothing is actually boiled here: the outer leaves darken and crisp while the middle steams in its own moisture and the butter runs down between the layers. It takes one small head and one pan, and turns a vegetable most people cook to mush into something worth putting in the middle of the table.

Iceberg Lettuce Salad with Blue Cheese and Herbs

Iceberg gets dismissed as the lettuce with nothing to say, which misses the point entirely: it isn't there for flavour, it's there for cold and crunch. Cut into thick wedges and left whole, it stays icy and snapping under a thick buttermilk and blue cheese dressing that would flatten any softer leaf. Chives, dill, cherry tomatoes, and raw red onion do the talking. It's a steakhouse salad that needs both a fork and a knife.

Air Fryer Salmon

Salmon fillets glazed in honey, soy, and sriracha and cooked in the air fryer in under fifteen minutes, with crisp skin and a sticky sweet-spicy top. No oven to preheat and no pan to watch — just pat the fish dry, hold back some glaze for the finish, and pull it a touch early so it stays silky in the middle.

Chicken Karaage with chicken, soy sauce and ginger — Japan recipe

Meat Dishes

Chicken Karaage

Japan's much-loved fried chicken: bite-sized thigh pieces marinated in soy, ginger, garlic, and sake, dredged in potato starch, and double-fried to a pale, craggy, glass-crisp shell. The potato starch and the two-stage fry are what set it apart from any other fried chicken, and a squeeze of lemon at the table is all it needs.
