Pasta with 15-Minute Ham, Pea, and Cream Sauce

Ingredients:
1 pound farfalle or other short pasta
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 2 large)
4 ounces thick-cut ham (about 4 slices), cut into thin strips

Moroccan Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken, cut into 8 pieces

2. Mix together the honey, olive oil, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and garlic in a small bowl. Place the chicken, onions, and potatoes in a large bowl. Toss with three-quarters of the honey mixture and arrange in a single layer on the prepared pan. Toss the apricots and raisins with the remaining honey mixture and set aside.
3. Bake the chicken, onions, and potatoes for 35 minutes. Add the apricots and raisins and bake until the chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more. Garnish with the pistachios and cilantro.
Chicken Cacciatore with Harissa, Bacon, and Rosemary

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil
4 strips of bacon
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts or 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch of green onions
5 ounces cremini or black poplar mushrooms
2 garlic cloves
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
2 (14-ounce cans) of chopped tomatoes
A good glug (about 1/2 cup) of Madeira (or red or white wine or chicken stock)
1 tablespoon harissa paste (you can get it from most supermarkets) or 3 tablespoons tomato purée
Pinch of dried oregano
1 dried bay leaf
11 ounces of your favorite pasta (I love to use penne or rigatoni)
1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
Pat of butter (optional)
Small handful of fresh basil or parsley leaves (optional)
Large sauté pan
scissors
kettle
large saucepan with lid
colander

Instructions:
Put a drizzle of oil into a large sauté pan on a high heat. Use scissors to snip the bacon into bite-size pieces. Add them to the pan once hot and fry for a couple of minutes, stirring every so often, until they are browned.
While the bacon cooks, season the chicken pieces well with salt and pepper.
Remove the bacon from the pan, leaving the fat behind, and set aside to drain on paper towels. Put the chicken in, top side down, reduce the heat to medium and leave to cook for about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, trim and finely slice the green onions (both the green and the white bits) and mushrooms and peel and finely chop the garlic. Run your fingers down the length of the rosemary stalks to release their leaves and finely chop them too. Set everything aside.
The chicken pieces should now be golden brown underneath, so flip them over and leave to cook on the other side for about 3 minutes.
Once the chicken is golden brown, turn down the heat to low and add the prepared mushrooms, garlic and rosemary, along with the tomatoes, Madeira (or red or white wine or stock), harissa paste or tomato purée and oregano, and crumble in the bay leaf.
Give it a good stir and then leave to bubble away for 15–20 minutes, stirring from time to time so that it does not stick to the bottom.
When the chicken dish is about halfway through cooking, add the reserved cooked bacon and green onions, then put the kettle on. Use the boiled water to cook the pasta in a large saucepan according to the package's instructions. Once it is cooked, drain the pasta and then return it to the pan with the lid on to keep warm if necessary.
Check to see if the chicken is cooked—if the juices run clear, it is ready. Taste the sauce, adding a little sugar and/or a pat of butter if the sauce is still a bit acidic from the tomatoes. Add a drizzle of water if the sauce is too thick and let it bubble away for a bit longer if too thin.
Divide the pasta among four plates, top with a piece of chicken breast or two thighs, spoon some sauce over and scatter with some ripped-up basil or parsley leaves, if using.
Green Tea Cheesecake

Ingredients:
150g biscuits (I use malt biscuits), crushed
35g butter, melted
Sesame seeds
250g cream cheese
60g sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
100g plain yoghurt
1 cup cream, whipped
3 tablespoons gelatine powder, dissolved in 50ml warm water
1 teaspoon matcha powder
plus 1/4 teaspoon extra

Instructions:
Mix biscuits and butter and press into base of a 24 cm round cake tin. Spread evenly and press with the palm of your hand. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and refrigerate to firm up.
Mix together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and yoghurt until smooth. Mix in whipped cream. Add dissolved gelatine and mix very gently.
Pour half mixture into cake tin over biscuit base. Spread with a rubber spatula and return to fridge.
Mix matcha powder with 1 tablespoon water until smooth. Pour into remaining half of cheesecake filling and mix well. Pour gently into the tin, keeping 1 tablespoon of filling mixture to use for decoration. Use rubber spatula to spread and make a flat surface.
Add 1/4 teaspoon extra matcha powder to the 1 tablespoon filling to darken it for decoration.
Use a teaspoon to draw lines on the cheesecake with the darker matcha mix. Use chopsticks to drag horizontal lines and make patterns, as shown in the picture. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
Flourless Apple, Almond, and Ginger Cake

Ingredients:
3 Granny Smith apples
30 g (1 ounce) unsalted butter
50 g (1 3/4 ounces/1/4 cup) caster (superfine) sugar
2 whole cloves
80 g (1/2 cup) raisins
260 g (9 1/4 ounces/2 1/3 cups) ground almonds
220 g (1 1/2 cups) whole almonds
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 eggs
230 g (8 1/2 ounces/1 cup) raw (demerara) sugar
145 ml (1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon) pure maple or golden syrup (light treacle)
2 royal gala or golden delicious apples
50 g (1/3 cup) whole almonds, coarsely chopped
50 g (1 3/4 ounces) butter, melted
50 g (1/4 cup) raw (demerara) sugar

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4). Grease and line a 26 cm (10 1/2 inch) springform cake tin.
Peel and core the apples, then cut into wedges.
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a frying pan large enough to fit the apples in one layer. Add the apple wedges, caster sugar and cloves and toss to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are well coated, soft and starting to colour, about 5–10 minutes. There should be no liquid left in the pan. Remove the cloves, add the raisins and cook for another minute or so to soften. Remove from the heat and cool.
Process the ground almonds, whole almonds, ginger and baking powder in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Set aside.
In an electric mixer, whisk the eggs, raw sugar and maple or golden syrup until light and fluffy. Fold in the nut mixture and cooked apples. Pour into the prepared tin.
To make the topping, core and thinly slice the apples and arrange over the cake batter, overlapping slightly. Scatter the almonds on top, pour the melted butter over and then sprinkle on the sugar.
Bake the cake for about 1–1 1/4 hours until golden and cooked through and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the cake is browning too quickly, cover with some foil.
Cool completely in the tin and serve at room temperature with plain yoghurt or vanilla ice cream.
Pan-Fried Hawaiian Pizza

Ingredients:
Olive oil, for frying and brushing
4 ounces ham or prosciutto, chopped
1 (16-ounce ball) homemade pizza dough or your favorite store-bought variety, split into 2 8-ounce balls
1 cup Pizza Sauce or your favorite store-bought variety
1 (8-ounce ball) fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups pineapple cubes
4 or 5 fresh basil leaves
shredded

Instructions:
Preheat the broiler.
Add a little oil to a medium cast-iron pan and fry the ham over medium-low heat until it's a little brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Roll each pizza dough half into circles the size of your cast-iron pan. The dough will probably be slightly thicker than what you're used to.
Heat the pan to medium and add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 1 piece of the rolled-out dough. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the dough is bubbly on top and browned underneath. Flip, add half of the sauce, half of the mozzarella, half of the ham, and half of the pineapple. Cook another 2 minutes, until the bottom is cooked, then slip under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese looks bubbly and the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Top with basil. Remove the pizza from the pan, and repeat with the other piece of dough.
Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings)

Ingredients:
1 packet 50 gyoza wrappers
1/8 cabbage
1 teaspoon salt
400 g lean pork or chicken
1/2 bunch garlic chives, finely chopped
4 dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked in hot water and finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil, plus 2 teaspoons extra, for cooking
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
La-yu (Japanese chilli oil)
optional

Instructions:
Dice cabbage finely and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Give it a bit of a massage. Leave for 10–15 minutes and then squeeze with your hands to remove any moisture.
With your hands thoroughly mix together cabbage, ground meat, chives, mushrooms, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and pinch of salt.
Dry your hands completely (or wrappers will stick). Place a gyoza wrapper on one hand and put 1 teaspoon filling in centre of wrapper.
Brush edge of half the wrapper with cold water. Make a semi-circle by folding the wrapper in half. Pinch open sides of wrapper together with your fingers and seal the top.
Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add 2 teaspoons sesame oil and arrange 20–25 gyoza in pan. Add 200ml water to cover bottom of pan, cover with lid and cook on medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes or until translucent, cooked and no liquid is left in pan. Take off lid and cook for another 30–60 seconds for the bottoms to go crunchy. Cook remaining gyoza or freeze them.
Mix together soy sauce, vinegar and chilli oil, if using. Serve gyoza hot with dipping sauce.
Layered Beef and Root Vegetables in a Spicy Coconut Curry

Ingredients:
12 dried curry leaves
2 whole cloves
1 tablespoon peeled, grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds beef top butt or top sirloin, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt, plus additional
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus additional if necessary
2 cups peeled, halved, and thinly sliced onions
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cups carrot juice
1/2 pound turnips, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1/2 pound celery root, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
1 pound Yukon Gold or Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick rounds
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Grated fresh or desiccated coconut
for garnish

Instructions:
1. The day before you want to serve this dish, use a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or blender to grind the curry leaves and cloves. Transfer to a small bowl and mix in the ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Place the beef in a nonreactive bowl, such as Pyrex. Combine 3 tablespoons of the spice mix with the yogurt and salt. Toss the yogurt mixture with the beef. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Refrigerate the remaining spice mix.
3. In a large nonstick skillet over high heat, warm 3 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Remove the beef from the marinade and scrape off any marinade that clings to the meat (reserve the marinade). Sear the beef in batches, about 45 seconds on each side, adding additional oil if necessary. Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and the remaining spice mix, and toss well. Pour in the vinegar, raise the heat to medium-high, and boil until the vinegar has mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the carrot juice, bring to a boil, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 300°F.
6. Arrange half of the beef on the bottom of a medium cast-iron pot or Dutch oven, then add a layer of turnips, a layer of celery root, and a layer of potatoes, seasoning each vegetable layer with salt and pepper. Repeat the layering once more, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top. Pour the carrot juice mixture and the coconut milk into the pot and cover with a piece of oiled parchment paper and the pot lid. Bring to a simmer.
7. Transfer the pot to the oven to braise for 2 hours. Uncover and braise until the meat is moist and stewlike, about 1 hour more. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and grated coconut and serve.
Onion Tart

Ingredients:
350 g (12 ounces/2 1/3 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour
180 g (6 1/2 ounces) cold unsalted butter, chopped
2 tablespoons cold water
1 kg (2 pounds 4 ounces/about 6) brown onions, roughly chopped or sliced
60 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
4 egg yolks
250 ml (1 cup) pure cream (35% fat)
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
26–28 cm (10 1/4–11 inch) tart (flan) tin with a removable base

Instructions:
To make the pastry, process the flour, butter and water together in a food processor for a few minutes until a rough dough forms. Remove, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4).
Roll the dough out on a floured bench and gently press into the tin. Trim the pastry to fit and reserve the left-over pastry to patch any cracks.
To blind-bake the tart, line the pastry shell with foil and fill with baking weights or uncooked rice or beans. Bake until cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and weights and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until lightly golden. If there are any cracks, patch with the left- over pastry.
While the tart shell is baking, prepare the filling.
In a large frying pan over low to medium heat, sauté the onion in the oil until very soft and light brown. This may take up to an hour. Set aside to cool slightly. Beat the egg yolks with the cream. Add the nutmeg and season well with salt and pepper. Stir the onion through the cream mixture.
Carefully fill the pastry shell with the filling, place in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the filling is set. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Pan Cake

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/8 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon finely ground coffee beans (optional)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Put the flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, baking soda, and ground coffee beans (if using) in an ungreased 8-or 9-inch round cake pan and stir with a whisk. Make a crater, pour in the remaining ingredients and 1 cup water, and whisk until all the corners are gotten and the batter is smooth. Put in the oven and start checking for doneness in 20 minutes; the cake should be done at around 30 minutes.
Vanilla ice cream really helps pan cake, and so does chocolate whipped cream frosting. Start with 4 ounces of semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips, and 1 pint whipping cream. Put all the chocolate and about 1/2 cup of the cream in a medium mixing bowl and heat over simmering water until the chocolate has melted. Remove from the heat and whisk in the rest of the cream and 1 or 2 teaspoons sugar. Refrigerate until well chilled and then whip until thick and smooth. Be sure the cake is completely cooled before spreading on. If it's a warm day and you're not eating the cake right away, refrigerate it or the chocolate cream will melt right off.
Apricot-Mustard Baked Chicken

Ingredients:
6 to 8 skin-on chicken pieces (thighs or drumsticks), rinsed and patted dry
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup apricot jam
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1/4 cup water
Leaves from 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the chicken on a rimmed cookie sheet or baking dish lined with foil or parchment paper, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake for 10 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, whisk together the jam, mustard, water, thyme, and a little salt and pepper in a small saucepan over low heat for about 3 minutes. It should be slightly syrupy.
Pull the chicken out of the oven and pour the sauce on top. Continue baking for another 15 minutes. For the last 3 minutes, place the chicken under the broiler on the top rack so it gets golden and crispy looking.
Kale, Apple, Walnut and Sumac Onion Tabbouleh

Ingredients:
2 cups (packed) shredded stemmed kale leaves
3/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 cup diced apple
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
A pinch ground sumac
1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions:
Combine red onion, red wine vinegar, ground sumac, and kosher salt in a small bowl.
Combine all the ingredients, including the sumac onions, in a large bowl. Toss to combine and serve.
Butter Mandu (Butter Dumplings)

Ingredients:
2 cups green cabbage, roughly chopped
2-inch knob of ginger, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds ground pork (80 percent lean)
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into chunks and softened to room temperature
45 refrigerated or frozen and thawed round Asian dumpling wrappers
Fresh Napa Cabbage Kimchi for serving
Light soy sauce, for serving
Vegetable or sesame oil
as needed (optional
for panfrying)

Instructions:
Place the cabbage, ginger and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Place the cabbage mixture in a large bowl.
Using your hands, fold the ground pork into the cabbage mixture just enough to combine. Evenly sprinkle it with the salt and fold it in. Gently fold the butter into the mixture until thoroughly combined.
To assemble the mandu, place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Be careful not to overfill or the filling could leak while cooking. (If your wrappers are small, decrease the amount of filling per dumpling; the mandu should be full but not hard to close.) Dip your fingertip in a glass of water and paint the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over to form a half-moon and pinch the edges together to seal. (This is the easiest fold, for simplicity's sake, but you can fold your mandu in a number of fancy ways, like the pros do.) Mandu can be cooked right away or frozen for later (see below).
In a large pot, bring a few cups of water to a boil over high heat and insert a lightly oiled steaming basket above the water; do not submerge it. Carefully place the dumplings in the basket in one layer. Cover and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the wrapper is a little translucent and the filling feels firm. Serve immediately with kimchi and soy sauce.
Coat a sauté pan with some vegetable or sesame oil and place over medium heat. When the oil is shimmering-hot, place the fresh or thawed mandu in the pan, just enough to fit comfortably in one layer, and sauté each side for a few minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve with kimchi and soy sauce.
