Decadent and delicious. It’s hard not to love these cookies, and everybody does.

I wanted to have a foolproof method for cooking dried beans and attempted something sous vide. The following method words well for a variety of beans, although some, like adzuki beans, will have more split beans than other types. Regardless, this is a good hands-off method for cooking dried beans.

Fish surrounded by a crispy crust and just underneath a soft egg cloud. When we first tried this recipe we were surprised by the technique, and now it is one of our favourites. We have used flathead fish in our recipe; though this can easily be adapted to halibut or other fish suitable for frying, as well as prawns (shrimp). Try it with a lamb cutlet! Anything you use, this recipe is worth a try.

Shallots, finely sliced · Long red chilli, seeded and finely sliced · Coconut oil · Small red chilli, seeded and finely sliced · Salt · Salt · Lemongrass, white part only, minced · Shrimp paste, roasted · Ginger, peeled and finely sliced · Kaffir lime leaves

This recipe uses the same well-tested template as our fried rice, but is designed around brown rice. This version is good for a breakfast prior to exercise, as the brown rice is a good source of sustained energy.

This recipe makes for a great breakfast. Fried rice makes use of left-over rice that might otherwise be trashed. This is a hearty serve for one with around one quarter recommended daily energy requirements. Of course, as with all recipes on Modernist.Recipes, you can scale this to any size you like. One of the great benefits of weighing your ingredients in this recipe is to ensure the right ratio of oil to rice. Nobody wants greasy fried rice. By weighing the oil and rice you ensure you have just enough oil to coat the rice without making it greasy.Our ratio is 5% of the weight of rice, which works well. This recipe has been refined over many years and is one we cook often. The refinements have made incremental improvements to both flavour and technique. It is still one of our favourite breakfasts.
