Chicken

A perfect party dish.

If you're entertaining a crowd, prepare the pot stickers ahead and store, covered with a damp clean tea towel in the refrigerator and cook when required.

Not for the fainthearted, this dish is spiced with sambal oelek for a hit of nose-tingling heat. Spread liberally with sweet onion sambal for a perfectly balanced sweet-and-spicy delight.

Though you need to start this recipe a day ahead, it truly is minimal effort. Brined overnight, the chicken is moist and tender, elevated by the shawarma spice rub. This dish is a true show stopper.

Keeping all the elements of what makes this dish a provincial family favourite, this recipe has been refined with a modern-day bistro interpretation.

Perfect for a party, you can make a large batch of these little flavour parcels and freeze them for easy entertaining.

This one's a comfort classic for a reason.

Make the most of stone fruit season by tossing sweet yellow and white peaches through the barley salad accompanying this pollo al mattone.

Drop that takeaway menu. Once you've tried making curry paste from scratch, you'll never look back.
