2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Soft scramble or poach

Film

Eggs cooked low and slow, pulled from the pan while they still move.

Eggs keep cooking on the plate. What looks underdone in the pan is right by the time it is eaten.

Most of what goes wrong is decided at the counter, before you cook anything. These are filmed by the chef: what to buy, how to tell it is good, and how to set your own kitchen up for it.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 11 STEPS

9 photographed · 3 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 9 of the 11 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 3 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: pulling the eggs at the right second — step 7 of 11.
