The classic French omelette — soft, shiny, rolled into a cylinder. Technique matters more than ingredients: beat and season the eggs before the pan (no time later), slice chives very thin, and start rolling as soon as the top is moist but not runny (slightly burnt is awful; don’t worry if the eggs don’t look fully scrambled — they finish as you roll). Extra butter at the end helps it slide. Inspired by Food Wishes (Chef John).

French Omelette

Eggs poached in a spiced tomato-pepper sauce with butter, cumin, paprika, and a touch of cayenne. Use less crushed tomato than a full large can so the sauce stays thick; make small wells in the sauce before adding the eggs. Serve with whole-grain toast.


Shakshuka eggs

Hearty vegetarian lasagne with layers of ricotta, sautéed broccoli, mushrooms, and fresh spinach in a rich homemade tomato sauce, topped with melted mozzarella and a little parmesan.

Veggie Lasagne

Creamy Tuscan chicken for 4: egg-dredged chicken in a sun-dried tomato, red pepper, and spinach cream sauce with white wine and parmesan. Best over penne; if you are not having pasta, a loaf of homemade bread is perfect for dipping in the sauce. About 40 minutes on the hob—no oven finish; ingredients follow Kitchen Sanctuary Tuscan chicken.

Tuscan Chicken

Tort

Classic layered tiramisu with pate a bombe yolk base, whipped whites with mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and cocoa finish.

Tiramisu

Fast sausage-style bolognese for two: onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes, tomato puree, and heavy cream tossed with tagliatelle and parmesan. Use good real-meat sausages — plain pork or Italian-style (fennel/Sicilian) work great; chorizo is a tasty option too. Remove the skins before cooking.

Pollo a la Plancha

Homemade pizza on a fast dough: hot sugared yeast water for lift, optionally a pinch of diastatic malt, sauce that is simmered—not straight from the can—and seasoned hard, lots of cheese (gouda alone, mozzarella in long skinny slices alone, blends, pepperoni encouraged), garlic oil brushed on the rim straight from the oven. Rough pace: ~5 min mixing, 45+ min first rise, ~5 min handling, 30+ min second rest, then ~10 topping and baking.

Pizza

Creamy pepper sauce with shallot, black pepper, mustard, beef stock, and heavy cream. Best served with steak, chicken, or potatoes.

Pasta al Limone

Classic garlic and olive oil pasta with parsley and chili. Keep garlic quantity generous, use less olive oil, never let garlic burn, and keep lemon subtle.

Pasta Aglio e Olio

Soft savory pancakes rolled with creamy spinach-ricotta filling and baked in tomato sauce with a spicy kick. Important: do not overfill each pancake or they tear and are harder to roll.

Pancakes with Spinach and Tomato Sauce

Savory spiced pancakes filled with soft turmeric potatoes and onion, served with yogurt and fresh coriander. Note: skip mustard seeds because they can splash dangerously in hot oil.

Soft sweet pancakes made with cottage cheese, measured flour, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla sugar, finished by folding in stiff egg whites for a lighter texture.

Light ricotta pancakes folded with fresh blueberries and whipped egg whites, cooked in olive oil and butter, then finished with Greek yogurt, more berries, and runny honey—about 15 minutes for brunch.

Rich chocolate fondant cakes with a molten ganache center. Use 60% cacao chocolate and serve with ice cream, an intense non-sweet juice, or fresh fruit.

Lava Cake Fondant

Tall lasagne with a large volume of ragu (about 2 to 2.5 liters) so you can use all the bechamel and build height. Ragu ingredients are doubled (x2) to match the doubled bechamel batch. Use about 800 g minced meat total, half pork and half beef (about 400 g + 400 g). Bechamel takes time; go heavy on nutmeg. Cheese: about 100 g grated 50/50 parmesan and cheddar folded into the finished bechamel, plus up to about 100 g more of the same mix between layers (do not overload); optional mozzarella on top. Optional leek folded into the bechamel is a twist we recommend. Do not boil lasagne sheets like spaghetti: submerge them in salted water (warm is enough) and let them soak until they swell and absorb water—no dry sheets straight from the box. Three sheets per layer. When assembling, aim for about 2 parts red sauce to 1.25 parts white sauce by volume.

Lasagne

Cottage Pie

Gordon-style bacon cheeseburger ready in about 20 minutes with a seared beef patty, lots of crispy bacon, cheddar, onion, tomato, lettuce, and a lighter spicy burger sauce that is better balanced than plain mayo and sriracha.

Soft and fluffy Cinnabon-style cinnamon rolls with a buttery brown sugar filling and a rich mascarpone glaze poured on while still warm.

Chicken with Broccoli and Rice

Crisp-skinned chicken leg ballotine stuffed with cheese and basil, served over a seasoned cauliflower puree with a lemon-parsley chili dressing. Be patient when deboning and use a sharp knife precisely. Use less cheese than the original and always taste the puree for seasoning.

Chicken Leg Ballotine and Cauliflower Puree

For 8: butterflied chicken (even thickness, never pounded flat), spinach–cheese filling, puff pastry. Wild garlic and plenty of butter-garlic marinade; gentle sear. On the side: frozen baby carrots caramelised with butter, honey, rosemary, and a little salt and pepper.

Cashew Chicken

Creamy carbonara-style spaghetti with bacon, mushrooms, peas, chili, garlic, egg yolks, and cheese. Use plenty of garlic, cut bacon small so fat renders, keep pasta long for rolling, and finish with extra chili to taste.

Carbonara yet not really

Yogurt-marinated chicken thighs in a tomato–cream curry. Notes: use heavy cream at least 30% fat (you can use a bit less cream if you want it lighter); blend the sauce until it is completely smooth—no chunks; use about 80% of the measured ground spices if you like a gentler heat, and cook the spices in the oil until they are fragrant and properly “wake up” in the pan before adding tomatoes.

Butter Chicken

Penne layered with browned minced pork, onion, and mushrooms, broccoli, then a creamy Knorr Spaghetti 4 Cheeses with Broccoli sauce and grated cheese, baked until golden. Sweet paprika to finish.

A proper BLT with lots of crisp bacon, juicy tomatoes, fresh lettuce, and mayonnaise on soft lightly toasted bread that stays in the background instead of dominating the sandwich.

BLT Sandwich

Classic beef Wellington with tenderloin, mushroom duxelles, prosciutto, crepe, and puff pastry. Important: trim or cut the beef so it actually fits inside the pastry. Sauce omitted here on purpose until a better version is chosen.

Beef Wellington

A simple, reliable pancake batter made with flour, milk, eggs, and a touch of sugar. Thin and golden, great for sweet or savoury fillings.

Basic Pancakes

Classic moist banana bread with overripe bananas, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Important: do not simply double the recipe in one loaf pan—the batter will not get the same lightness and texture. Mash the bananas lightly; a few chunky pieces are nice. You can fold in chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or similar) at the end if you like.

Banana Bread

Two strudels in puff pastry with spiced apples and golden raisins, a breadcrumb strip to soak juice, and powdered sugar to finish. Tips: thaw pastry fully so it does not crack; keep the dough cold while you work; use plain dry breadcrumbs; dice apples fairly small so rolling is easy; cut steam vents before baking so the top stays crisp; a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg in the filling is optional.

Apple Strudel
