The pudding that instantly takes you back to school dinners — for better or worse. Spotted dick? Pink custard? Jam roly-poly? Name yours 👇

🌍 World Cup Kitchen — France are in action again today 🇫🇷 so here's a true showstopper: salmon en croûte, a whole fillet wrapped in golden, buttery puff pastry. Looks like hours of work; mostly it's the oven showing off. Recipe below 👇

Settle a household argument: does the knife go on the right of the plate — and does anyone under 40 even set a table anymore? 🍴👇

Puff pastry can hold over 700 paper-thin layers of dough and butter, built up by folding and rolling again and again. Each layer traps steam in the oven — that's what makes it rise into those impossible golden flakes 🥐

A thick pork chop, cooked just blush-pink, in a creamy cider and mustard sauce. Weeknight-simple but tastes like a proper treat. One of our all-time favourites. Recipe below 👇

Friday-night verdict: is a "fakeaway" you cooked yourself ever as good as the real thing, or are you just kidding yourself? Be honest 👇

Save this top tip: for the creamiest cheese sauce, take the pan OFF the heat before you add the cheese. Too much heat splits it into a greasy, grainy mess every time. Low and slow wins 📌🧀

🌍 World Cup Kitchen — there's no more American way to watch the game than a tray of proper mac and cheese, molten and golden on top. This one happens to be gluten-free, so nobody at the party misses out. Recipe below 👇

Guacamole: is it a crime to add anything beyond avocado, lime, salt and a little onion? Some of you put peas in. We need to talk about that 🥑👇

Salting your pasta water isn't optional — it should taste like the sea. It's the only chance you get to season the pasta itself, from the inside out 🍝

Meet the oldest thing in my kitchen. This Denby stoneware bowl was bought by my mum in 1954 — the price is still pencilled on the base: one pound, one shilling. A guinea. It has mixed more cake batter, Yorkshire pudding and bread dough than I could ever count, and it still gets used every single week. Some things really were built to last a lifetime. What's the oldest piece in YOUR kitchen — and who did it belong to? 👇

🌍 World Cup Kitchen — the group stage wraps up this week 🌍 A fitting fact: "umami", the so-called fifth taste, was only officially recognised in 1908, by a Japanese chemist studying seaweed broth. Now it's in every great stock, sauce and slow braise 👇

🌍 World Cup Kitchen — Portugal kick off today 🇵🇹 Over on the island of Madeira they make a tomato soup with a soft poached egg dropped into the middle — rustic, sunny, and so much more than the sum of its parts. Recipe below 👇
