Creamed paua is one of those dishes that never made it into cookbooks because it never needed to. If you dive, someone showed you. If you don’t, someone brought you a bag and told you what to do with it.

Yorkshire Puddings
Yorkshire puddings are flour, eggs, milk and salt. There is nothing in the ingredient list that can go wrong, which means every failure is a technique failure — and there are only three techniques that matter. Makes 12. About 40 minutes, plus resting time for the batter.
Fried Rice
Fried rice is a fifteen-minute dish that exists to use up leftovers, and there is exactly one non-negotiable rule. Get it right and you have separate, slightly chewy, well-coated grains.
Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are five minutes of work the night before and nothing at all in the morning, which is the entire appeal. They’re also easy to get wrong in a way that puts people off for good — too much liquid and you get soup, too little and you get cement.
Nachos
Nachos fail in a very specific way: the top layer is perfect, the bottom is a pale soggy raft of chips with nothing on them, and the middle is somewhere between. That’s a construction problem, not a recipe problem. Serves 4 as a main, 6 as a shared plate. Thirty minutes.
Focaccia
Focaccia looks like it should be difficult and it is the opposite — no kneading, one bowl, and a dough so wet you couldn’t knead it if you wanted to. What it needs is time, and almost all of that is unattended. Serves 8 generously.
