Tonight’s dinner. Creamy chicken, leek and mushroom stew. Just a perfect one-pot dinner for this chilly weather. This is from my latest book, 7 Day of Dinner, plus a little bit on dinner snaps vs professional photography. The first shot is one I took tonight just plonking it in front of a camera before eating, but the second shot is how it appears in the book. For books we need the photos to tell a story. You have to be able to see every ingredient, and to be able intuit the cooking (and eating) process from the image so that it helps you follow the recipe. I have a great photography and styling team that I work with to shoot my books, and I truly think that the recipe images are as valuable to a cookbook as the recipe itself (if not more so) because they communicate so much more information than you can in words. By looking at either image you can see how thick the sauce is and how brown the chicken is – even how the leeks and mushrooms are cut – without having to pore over every word in a recipe. That said, there’s something about the basic, unstyled (and frankly pretty poorly photographed) image of our dinner tonight that feels a bit more real to me. But maybe that’s just because it’s what I’m actually having for dinner tonight. The second shot is obviously a better photo, but which one makes the dish feel more like something you might make?

Less than 2 months to go until our incredible gourmet cruising adventure around Japan and I can’t wait to welcome you all! We’ll be leaving Tokyo and spending 10 days circumnavigating Japan (with a sneaky trip over to Korea) and visiting some of its most amazing gourmet locations including Kobe, Kanazawa and Hakodate. If you’re looking for a last minute getaway, there are just a couple of cabins left on the ultra-premium Silver Muse. If you’re interested you can contact @gulliversaustralia to snap them up.

Tonight’s dinner. Watercress niku udon. This is a “belt and braces” niku udon recipe where I made every component is made from scratch, but even so it’s actually very easy to make. These might look like a strange list ingredients to us in Australia, but in Japanese households these are mostly just pantry staples. That said, if you don’t want to make it from scratch, there are many, many shortcuts you can take. For the dashi you can use packet dashi (small packets like tea bags) or instant dashi and just add the dashi seasonings to make the soup base. Alternatively you can dilute bottled tsuyu (available from Japanese grocers) to make the soup base without having to make a separate dashi. Bottled tsuyu is a very popular shortcut in Japanese homes for making everything from simmered dishes, oden, and noodle dishes like this one. This version also fries the beef separately, but you can also simmer the beef and spring onions in the stock. Frozen udon is the best udon available in Australia for home cooking. It’s already cooked so you just need to place the frozen udon into boiling water until it separates and has warmed through. It has an excellent texture. You can get it from Asian grocers.

Perfect for this weather. Perfect for the Paris Olympics. French onion soup is the dish of the moment and it’s also so deceptively simple that people often get it wrong. Luckily it’s the subject of my latest Masterclass column in today’s @goodfoodau! I genuinely can’t think of a more perfect dish for you to make this week.
