Bang Bang Shrimp

The shrimp come out shattering-crispy from the air fryer in 8 minutes, then you drizzle the sauce and watch people lose their composure.

BBQ Baby Back Ribs (2-2-1 Method)

Baby back ribs are the most tender and lean rack cut in American barbecue — they come from where the pork loin meets the spine, producing shorter, curved bones with a generous layer of back loin meat. The 2-2-1 method — a modification of the classic 3-2-1 for the smaller baby back rack — divides the cook into three stages: 2 hours of open smoking to build bark and absorb smoke, 2 hours wrapped tightly in foil with butter, brown sugar, and apple juice to braise the collagen into gelatin and achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness, and 1 final hour unwrapped to set the BBQ sauce glaze into a lacquered, sticky finish. Temperature is 225°F (107°C) throughout. The result is ribs where the meat pulls cleanly from the bone with a gentle tug, carrying deep smoke ring, complex bark, and the sweet-savory caramelized BBQ glaze that defines American competition barbecue.

Beef Rendang

Voted the world’s best food by CNN Travel readers in 2011 — slow-braised beef in a rich aromatic paste of coconut milk, garlic, ginger, galangal, lemongrass, and spices, cooked uncovered for hours until every drop of liquid evaporates and the meat is coated in a dark caramelized crust. A labor of love from West Sumatra that gets even better the next day.

Beef Wellington

Beef Wellington is Britain's most dramatic showpiece dish: a center-cut beef tenderloin, seared hard on all sides, coated in Dijon mustard, wrapped in a layer of mushroom duxelles and prosciutto di Parma, then encased in all-butter puff pastry and baked until the pastry is shatteringly golden. When sliced at the table, the cross-section reveals a ring of dark, caramelized crust, a layer of earthy black duxelles, a veil of prosciutto, and a core of perfectly pink medium-rare beef. Popularised by Gordon Ramsay as a signature of his three-Michelin-star kitchen, it has become the standard-bearer of British fine dining and the ultimate dinner-party centrepiece. The name is disputed — some attribute it to the Duke of Wellington, others argue it is simply the British reworking of a French filet en croûte.
