Your First Recipe

A first recipe should give you courage, not scare you off, and that's exactly what this collection is for. We go for dishes that are hard to ruin, clear steps without jargon, scrambled eggs, simple pasta, pancakes, roast chicken and a basic sponge cake. We'll show you what to prep in advance, what equipment you'll need, and how to tell when it's done. Whether you're at the stove for the first time, learning after moving out, or want to show the kids how it's done, a first recipe guides you stress-free from ingredients to a plate you'll be proud of.
