Brownies
Én bolle, ingen pisking, og en langpanne som rekker til hele familien. Poenget er å ta den ut mens den fortsatt er klissete — det er da den er brownies og ikke sjokoladekake.

Everything, A–Z
Chocolate Brownies (Cake Angels)
A free-from brownie that doesn't taste like a compromise — the whole trick is a good bar of dark chocolate and five minutes of beating the eggs, and the rest is a single bowl and half an hour in the oven.
Chocolate Brownies (Cake Angels, Normal Ingredients)
The Cake Angels brownie made with what is already in the cupboard — butter, plain flour, a teaspoon of baking powder, no xanthan gum. Same five minutes of beating the eggs, same half hour in the oven, and nothing bought specially.
Healthier burritos
A chilli that gets its depth from properly crisping the mince rather than from fat or cheese, stretched with black beans and brown rice. The chilli freezes, so this is really two dinners.
Heston Blumenthal's Lemon Tart
The version to make when the tart is the point of the evening rather than the thing after dinner. Everything that usually goes wrong — a soggy base, a filling that scrambles or weeps — is headed off by a step you can measure, and the whole thing is built in stages you can stop between.
Mary Berry's Peppercorn Sauce
The sauce that turns a plain pan-fried steak into something worth sitting down for, and it can be finished a day early and reheated — so the only thing left to do at dinner time is cook the meat.
Milanesa
A cutlet, a crust and a lemon wedge. Works the same whether the meat in the fridge is chicken or pork, takes one pan, and the only step that needs patience is the one where you walk away.
Milanesa with Almond Flour
Almond flour standing in for both the flour and the breadcrumbs, which takes the wheat out and most of the carbohydrate with it. It is not a swap you can make without changing anything else: the coating colours in about half the time, so the pan runs cooler than you expect.
Pannekaker
Fem ingredienser du har hjemme uansett, og en middag ingen sier nei til. Halvtimen røren står og sveller er ikke arbeid — den er tiden du bruker på noe annet mens melet trekker til seg melken.
Spinach & feta filo pie
Spanakopita without the fiddle: the filo is laid out flat on a sheet of greaseproof, filled in one go and folded over itself, so there is no layering into a dish and no individual parcels to make. Half an hour, one pan.
Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
A quiche with no pastry to make: the crust is a layer of thin sweet potato slices, so there is nothing to roll, chill or blind-bake. Make it on a Sunday and breakfast is already done for most of the week.
Sweet Potato Crust Quiche
The base method, filling left open. A layer of sweet potato slices stands in for pastry, so there is nothing to roll, chill or blind-bake — and whatever needs using up in the fridge becomes the filling.
The 'I Want Chocolate Cake' Cake
For when you want chocolate cake today, not a project. One small square pan, one bowl's worth of creaming, and a frosting that comes together in a food processor while the cake cools.
White Chocolate and Ginger Cheesecake
Twenty minutes of work, no oven, seven ingredients, and the fridge does the rest overnight — the dessert to make when there are people coming and you want it finished the day before. It is Wagamama's, reverse-engineered.
