Combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl or a rimmed roasting pan. Have another plate or dish ready lined with some kitchen paper. Extreme low effort – entirely baked in the baking dish! Moroccan Harira Soup – outrageously delicious!

The best thing about this book is the pun presented by the author and the way he defines a fine line of similarity between the movie plot and the cooking journey. This is so much fun to read.

Extensively tested by yours truly (over 35 times!), my team and independent recipe testers, this is a recipe I’m really, really proud of. By far the most (well, only!) technically-challenging recipe in my cookbook! The perfect Beef Wellington….. Making this recipe foolproof was almost my undoing!Fill a saucepan suitable for deep-frying with vegetable oil. It should be filled deep enough to submerge the dough balls but no more than three-quarters full. Heat to 160°C. If you don’t have a thermometer, a cube of bread should brown in 12 seconds. When it reaches 160°C, turn off the heat and carefully lower a few of the dough balls into the pan, making sure you don’t overcrowd the pan. Keep the heat off for two minutes. After two minutes, the dough will start to move and float a little.

Sift both flours, the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and salt.

What about the videos?? You filmed them all yourself? YES! One of the (additional) downsides of having such chubby little hands is that it is IMPOSSIBLE to find a hand double. 😩 Which means I can’t outsource my recipe videos. It’s all me!

The balance are other good ol’ traditional Western favourites. Photos! Does every recipe have one? YES! Well, all the full recipes do. I couldn’t fit in a photo for all the little extras! Soured, overripe kimchi is prized for its flavoursome tanginess that works perfectly in stir-fried dishes, usually paired with rich, fatty pork to dial down the complex, sour pungency with contrasting richness. The loud and bold flavour of kimchi is warmly supported by poached tofu that is welcomingly tender on the tongue.”But there is no doubt in my mind Dinner would not be what it is if it weren’t for the wonderful messages of support I received from readers as I shared my experience throughout the making of Dinner.
