1 whole fish
Easy
Skill level

1. Ingredients

Main ingredients
1 whole sea bass or sea bream (600–800 g), cleaned and scaled
30 g fresh ginger, julienned
4 spring onions, cut into thin strips
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Shaoxing cooking w**e (optional)
2 tbsp water or light fish stock
2 tbsp neutral oil, such as vegetable or sunflower oil
1 tsp sesame oil (optional)
A few sprigs of fresh coriander (optional)
For the soy sauce seasoning
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp white pepper
1 tsp light soy sauce extra, if needed

2. Step-by-step cooking method
Step 1 — Prepare the fish
Rinse the cleaned fish if necessary and pat it dry. Make 2–3 shallow diagonal cuts on each side so the heat cooks it evenly. Place it on a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer.
Step 2 — Prepare the aromatics
Cut the ginger into thin strips and slice the spring onions lengthwise into fine strips. Put some ginger inside the fish cavity and on top. Keep the spring onions aside for the final presentation.
Step 3 — Prepare the steamer
Bring water to a boil in a wok or steamer. Place the fish plate on a steaming rack above the boiling water. Make sure the water does not touch the plate.
Step 4 — Steam the fish
Cover and steam over high heat for approximately 8–12 minutes for a 600–800 g fish, depending on thickness. The flesh should turn opaque and separate easily with a fork. Confirm the thickest part reaches 63°C.
Step 5 — Prepare the sauce
Mix 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons water or fish stock, the sugar, white pepper, and optional Shaoxing w**e. Warm gently in a small saucepan until the sugar dissolves.
Step 6 — Finish the fish
Carefully remove the fish from the steamer. Pour away the excess steaming liquid, which can taste diluted or fishy. Spoon the prepared soy sauce around and over the fish.
Step 7 — Add hot oil
Arrange the fresh ginger and spring onions over the fish. Heat 2 tablespoons neutral oil until shimmering, then carefully pour it over the aromatics. They should sizzle and release their fragrance. Keep your face and hands away from splashes.
Step 8 — Garnish and serve
Add a few coriander leaves and a little sesame oil if desired. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice and stir-fried vegetables.
3. Chef's tips 👨‍🍳
Best fish: Sea bass, sea bream, or another fresh, mild white fish.
Don't overcook: Steaming time depends on the fish's thickness, not just its weight.
Authentic finish: Pouring hot oil over the ginger and spring onions releases their aroma and gives the dish its signature flavor.
Restaurant presentation: Use a long oval platter, arrange the fish neatly, and keep the spring onions fresh and bright.

½ tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
180–220 ml ice-cold sparkling water or cold water

100 g mayonnaise
60 g sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lime juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Step-by-step cooking method
Step 1 — Prepare the fish
Cut the fish into strips about 2–3 cm wide. Pat dry with paper towels, then season with lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Keep refrigerated while preparing the other ingredients.
Step 2 — Make the creamy lime sauce
Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Refrigerate until serving.
Step 3 — Prepare the vegetables
Combine green cabbage, red cabbage, diced tomato, red onion, and chopped coriander. Add a small squeeze of lime juice and mix gently.

Step 8 — Restaurant presentation
Arrange the tacos on a platter with lime wedges. Drizzle a little extra sauce over the fish, add fresh coriander, and serve immediately while the fish is crispy.
3. Chef's tips 👨‍🍳
For extra crispiness: Keep the batter cold and avoid overcrowding the fryer.
For better flavor: Add a little smoked paprika and lime zest to the seasoning.
For a professional finish: Serve the sauce separately or drizzle it neatly in a thin line.
For food safety: Keep raw fish chilled, use separate utensils for raw and cooked food, and check the fish reaches 63°C internally.

🇱🇰 Chicken Curry — Step-by-Step Recipe

Sri Lankan chicken curry is a rich, aromatic curry made with roasted spices, curry leaves, pandan leaves, chilli, and tender chicken. It is delicious served with steamed rice, coconut sambol, and dhal curry.

Chicken
- 1 kg chicken, cut into medium pieces
- 1½ tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ tbsp roasted Sri Lankan curry powder
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp black pepper

For the curry base
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1½ tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 2 green chillies, slit
- 10–12 curry leaves
- 1 small piece pandan leaf (rampe), optional
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 3 cardamom pods
- 3 cloves
- 1 tsp mustard seeds, optional

For the gravy
- 250–350 ml water
- 200 ml coconut milk, optional
- ½ tsp roasted curry powder, extra if desired
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, optional

Step-by-step cooking method

Step 1 — Marinate the chicken
Place the chicken in a bowl. Add lime juice, salt, roasted curry powder, chilli powder, turmeric, and black pepper.
Mix well and leave to marinate for 20–30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 2 — Build the aromatic base
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add mustard seeds if using. Once they begin to pop, add cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves.
Add curry leaves, pandan leaf, green chillies, and sliced onions. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the onions soften and turn lightly golden.

Step 3 — Add ginger, garlic, and tomatoes
Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 4–5 minutes until soft. Stir in the extra roasted curry powder if desired.

Step 4 — Fry the chicken with the spices
Add the marinated chicken and stir thoroughly to coat every piece with the masala.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the outside of the chicken changes color and the spices become fragrant.

Step 5 — Simmer the curry
Add 250–350 ml water and stir. Cover the pot and simmer gently for approximately 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check that the chicken is fully cooked; the thickest pieces should reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).

Step 6 — Finish the gravy
For a creamy curry, add 200 ml coconut milk and simmer gently for another 5 minutes without boiling vigorously.
For a more traditional dark, roasted-spice-style curry, omit the coconut milk and simmer uncovered until the gravy reaches your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust salt.

Step 7 — Plate and serve
Transfer the curry to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh curry leaves or coriander if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice, pol sambol, dhal curry, or string hoppers.

3. Chef's tips for the best flavor
Use roasted Sri Lankan curry powder for a deeper, darker color and more intense aroma.
Do not rush the onions and tomatoes. Cooking them properly develops the flavor of the gravy.
Adjust the chilli powder to suit your preferred spice level.
For a thicker gravy, simmer uncovered at the end until the sauce reduces.
For authentic aroma, use fresh curry leaves and pandan leaf when available.

🇰🇷 Korean Beef Bulgogi — Step-by-Step Recipe

Korean Beef Bulgogi is a famous Korean dish made with thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, and a little sweetness. The beef is tender, juicy, savory, and slightly caramelized

Ingredients

Beef
- 500 g beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil

Marinade
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1½ tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp grated Asian pear or apple
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 tbsp rice w**e or water (optional)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp sesame seeds

For serving
- Steamed white rice
- Kimchi or Korean pickled vegetables (optional)
- Extra spring onions and sesame seeds

Step 1 — Prepare the beef
Slice the beef very thinly against the grain. If the meat is difficult to slice, place it in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to firm it up first.
Chef tip: Thin slices cook quickly and absorb the marinade well.
Step 2 — Make the marinade
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, grated pear or apple, garlic, ginger, black pepper, sesame seeds, and rice w**e or water if using.
Mix until the sugar dissolves.
Step 3 — Marinate the beef
Add the beef and sliced onion to the marinade. Mix thoroughly so every piece is coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or 2–4 hours for deeper flavor. Keep the meat refrigerated while marinating.
Step 4 — Heat the pan
Heat a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add the cooking oil.
Make sure the pan is hot before adding the beef so it browns instead of steaming.
Step 5 — Cook the beef
Add the beef in small batches without overcrowding the pan. Spread it into a single layer and cook for approximately 2–4 minutes per batch, turning as needed.
Cook until the beef is browned and safely cooked through. Transfer each batch to a clean plate.
Step 6 — Finish the dish
Return all the beef to the pan. Add the spring onions and any remaining marinade, then cook until the sauce is bubbling and the beef is cooked through.
Let the sauce lightly coat the meat. Avoid reducing it too much, as the sugar can burn.
Step 7 — Plate and serve
Serve hot with steamed rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
Add kimchi, cucumber salad, or lettuce leaves on the side for a more authentic Korean-style meal.

3. Chef's tips for restaurant-quality bulgogi
Best beef cuts: Ribeye for richer flavor, or sirloin for a leaner option.
Tenderness: Slice against the grain and keep the slices thin.
Better caramelization: Cook in batches instead of filling the pan with too much meat.
Flavor balance: The soy sauce provides saltiness, brown sugar adds sweetness, and sesame oil adds a nutty aroma.
Food safety: Keep raw beef refrigerated and use a clean plate and utensils for the cooked beef.

55–75 minutes

Potatoes
- 4 large baking potatoes (Russet potatoes are ideal)

Step 1 — Prepare the potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel. Pierce each potato 6–8 times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Carefully cut each potato lengthwise. Use a fork to fluff the inside without breaking the skin. Add about 15 g butter per potato and a pinch of garlic powder if desired.
Step 5 — Add the cheese
Sprinkle grated cheddar generously over each hot potato. Return to the oven for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese melts.
Step 6 — Add the toppings
Spoon sour cream on top. Finish with crispy bacon pieces and chopped chives or spring onions.
Chef's tips
Choose large, starchy potatoes for a fluffy center.
Do not wrap the potatoes in foil if you want crispy skin.
Add sour cream just before serving.
For a vegetarian version, replace bacon with sautéed mushrooms, sweet corn, or caramelized onions.

🇫🇷 French Potato Gratin (Gratin Dauphinois)

👨‍🍳 Creamy, Cheesy Potato Gratin — Step-by-Step Recipe

Potato Gratin is a classic French-style dish made with thinly sliced potatoes baked in a rich, creamy garlic sauce until tender, with a beautiful golden crust.

* Preparation time: 20 minutes
* Cooking time: 60–75 minutes
* Servings: 4 people
* Cooking temperature: 180°C
* Difficulty: Easy to intermediate

Ingredient

Potatoes 1 kg

Heavy cream 400 ml

Whole milk 200 ml

Garlic cloves 3

Butter 30 g

Gruyère cheese, grated 150 g

Salt 1 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper ½ teaspoon

Ground nutmeg A small pinch

Fresh thyme 1 teaspoon (optional)

Chef’s note: Traditional Gratin Dauphinois is generally made without cheese. This version includes Gruyère for a richer, cheesy restaurant-style finish.

Step 1: Prepare the potatoes 🥔

1. Wash and peel the potatoes.
2. Slice them into thin, even rounds, approximately 2–3 mm thick.
3. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent thickness, if available.
4. Avoid rinsing the sliced potatoes because their surface starch helps thicken the cream sauce.

Chef’s tip: Keep the potato slices evenly sized so they cook at the same rate.

Step 2: Prepare the garlic baking dish 🧄

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
2. Cut one garlic clove in half.
3. Rub the cut garlic over the bottom and sides of a baking dish.
4. Grease the dish with approximately 10 g of butter.

This gives the gratin a delicate garlic aroma.

Step 3: Prepare the cream mixture 🥛

1. Pour 400 ml heavy cream and 200 ml milk into a saucepan.
2. Finely chop or crush the remaining garlic cloves.
3. Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, and a small pinch of nutmeg.
4. Add the thyme if desired.
5. Heat gently until the mixture is steaming, but do not let it boil vigorously.
6. Remove from the heat.

Chef’s tip: Nutmeg adds a subtle warmth that complements the cream and potatoes.

Step 4: Layer the potatoes

1. Arrange a layer of potato slices in the prepared baking dish.
2. Slightly overlap each slice.
3. Pour a little cream mixture over the potatoes.
4. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes are used.
5. Pour the remaining cream mixture over the top.

Press the potatoes gently with a spatula so the cream settles between the layers.

Step 5: Add the cheese 🧀

1. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the potatoes.
2. Dot the remaining 20 g of butter over the surface.

The cheese will melt and develop a delicious golden crust during baking.

Step 6: Bake the potato gratin 🔥

1. Place the baking dish on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
2. Bake at 180°C for approximately 60–75 minutes.
3. Check the potatoes after 50 minutes.
4. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with aluminium foil.
5. Continue baking until a small knife slides easily through the centre and the top is golden brown.

Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the potato slices and the depth of your baking dish.

Step 7: Rest before serving

1. Remove the gratin from the oven.
2. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
3. This allows the cream to settle and the layers to hold together better.
4. Garnish with a little fresh thyme if desired.

A classic roast duck with a festive citrus or berry glaze

makes for an incredible Christmas centerpiece. Because duck has a thick layer of fat beneath the skin, the key to success is proper prep to render that fat and achieve an ultra-crisp skin.

1. Prep and Dry Brining (The Secret to Crisp Skin)
Score the skin: Using a sharp knife, score the skin in a diamond pattern across the breast and legs. Be careful to cut only through the skin and fat without piercing the meat.
Prick the skin: Poke the skin all over with a skewer or fork (especially around the thighs and tail) to allow the fat to escape during roasting.
Dry and chill: Pat the duck completely dry with paper towels. Season the inside and out generously with coarse salt and black pepper. If you have time, leave the duck uncovered on a wire rack in the refrigerator overnight. This air-dries the skin, which guarantees maximum crispiness.
2. Aromatics and Trussing
Stuff the cavity: Fill the cavity with a quartered orange, a halved onion, a few crushed garlic cloves, and a handful of fresh thyme and rosemary. These aromatics steam the inside while the duck roasts.
Truss: Tie the legs together with kitchen tw**e and tuck the wingtips underneath the body to prevent them from burning.
3. Roasting for Maximum Crunch
Preheat: Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).
Initial Roast: Place the duck breast-side up on a rack inside a roasting pan. Pour a cup of water into the bottom of the pan to prevent the dripping fat from smoking. Roast for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Drain the fat: Every 30 to 45 minutes, carefully pour the accumulated liquid fat out of the roasting pan into a heatproof container (save this fat for roast potatoes later!).
Crisp it up: For the final 20 minutes, turn the oven up to 200°C (400°F) to deeply brown and crisp the skin. The internal temperature at the thickest part of the thigh should reach around 74°C (165°F).
Rest: Transfer the duck to a carving board and let it rest loosely tented with foil for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
4. Making a Festive Orange-Port Sauce
Deglaze: Pour off almost all the remaining fat from the roasting pan, leaving about a tablespoon of the fond (the browned bits). Place the pan on the stove over medium heat.
Build flavor: Pour in half a cup of port w**e or dry red w**e, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Let it reduce by half.
Simmer: Add one cup of chicken stock, the juice of one orange, a tablespoon of honey or orange marmalade, and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Simmer until the sauce thickens to a glossy glaze, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Carve the duck into portions, drizzle the warm festive sauce over the top, and serve alongside roasted root vegetables or spiced red cabbage
