Silky vanilla custard beneath a crackling caramelized sugar crust. Looks impressive, tastes obscene. Easier than anyone gives it credit for.

Worth turning the oven on

Real cheese sauce, no baking, ready in 20 minutes. Sharp cheddar, proper béchamel, starchy pasta water. The boxed stuff can't compete.

Good for a tired Tuesday

The kind of recipe you reuse

Smashed, pan-fried black beans with all the fixings. Crispy, cheap, and fast. Nobody will ask where the meat is.

Low drama, high reward
