Chicken and Leek Pot Pie

To call this the best chicken and leek pot pie is only a litle bit hyperbolic, we think. The name comes from Jamie Oliver, who crafted this pot pie from a version he was served. With a crisp, puff pastry lid and full of chicken, sausage meatballs and veggies, who are we to argue?

Japanese-Style Cucumber Salad

This Japanese-style cucumber salad, called sunomono, is one of the simplest summer salads. All it takes is cucumbers, vinegar, oil, ginger, and lemongrass to start the conversation.

Steak Sandwich

Jamie Oliver’s steak sandwich isn’t your ordinary ‘wich. Caramelized onions, sharp mustard, and lemony watercress means you’ll want to buy extra flank steak at the butcher so you have leftovers.

Warm Arugula Salad

Jamie Oliver’s warm arugula salad is easy-peasy and “scrummy”, as the man himself says. Warmed and caramelized red onions, pine nuts, and bacon warm the arugula just enough. It’s easy. And spectacular.

Jamie Oliver’s Pappardelle with Beef Ragu

This pappardelle with beef ragu is essentially a braised beef sauce that can be made on the stovetop or, better yet, in the slow cooker. If your want to use beef, I suggest you reach for chuck.

Rigatoni with Tomatoes, Eggplant, and Mozzarella

Rigatoni with sweet tomatoes, eggplant, and mozzarella is a deceptively easy pasta dinner that tastes much more difficult. Cheesy and filled with silky eggplant, tomatoes, and cream, it also bakes into a magnificent casserole.
