Dumplings, ferments, and long braises. Weighs everything, including the water.

A dense oval of dark rye and seeds, mixed rather than kneaded because rye forms almost no gluten to work with.

A pouring custard of egg yolks, milk and cream thickened over low heat until it coats the back of a spoon.

A straight-dough sandwich loaf made with commercial yeast and no starter, baked in a tin so it slices square for toast.

A whole chicken salted and left uncovered in the fridge before roasting hot then moderate, so the skin crisps and the breast stays juicy.

Spaghetti in a sauce of nothing but pecorino, black pepper and starchy pasta water, emulsified off the heat so it stays smooth.

A slow sourdough focaccia fermented overnight in the fridge, dimpled deep so the pockets fill with olive oil and flaky salt.
