I love both trying new exciting recipes and perfecting the old favourites. I also really like learning to master new tools, some of my favourites are listed below.
Tools:
- Cast Iron Skillet: These are the best way to make focaccia, the bottom comes out perfectly crispy. I also use them to make Detroit-style pan pizza (which is traditionally rectangular, I know).
- Outdoor Pizza Oven: I love making pizzas in my Ooni Pro woodfired pizza oven - it’s a bit of work, but the results are unlike any you can make at home otherwise.
- Wok: I have a cheap carboon steel wok that I use for stir frying - I’m not good at it, but it’s still fun. And seeing the seasoning building up has been extremely satisfying.
Cookbooks:
- J. Kenji López-Alt: The Food Lab: A nerdy exploration of food.
- J. Kenji López-Alt: The Wok: A must-have for wok users.
- Stella Parks: Bravetart: Incredible deserts
- Priya Krishna: Indian(-ish): Indian cuisine full of heart
