Recipes I actually cook on weeknights — honest timings, quantities for two, and no life stories before the ingredients.

Good shop-bought paste, a few fresh things, thirty minutes.

Chicken stock, miso, a jammy egg and twenty minutes.

The dinner I make when the fridge is empty.

Three ingredients in the glaze, ten minutes under the grill.

Tomatoes, herbs, good oil and nothing else to think about.
