Bun butter jamGriddled bun with butter and jam

Bun butter jam is the most-ordered thing at a Tamil Nadu tea kadai after the tea itself: a soft, sweet bun split, griddled in butter until crisp at the edges, then spread with more butter and red fruit jam, eaten mid-morning or after school with a glass of milky tea. It is buttery, crunchy outside and pillowy inside, with sweet jam soaking into the crumb. The mistake is toasting on high heat; the sugary bun scorches before the butter has a chance to crisp it. Keep the tawa on medium-low. Chef's tip: press the bun down gently with a flat spatula as it toasts, the way the tea-shop masters do, for a wider, crunchier golden face.

Steak frites

Steak frites is the backbone of the Parisian bistro and brasserie menu, ordered at a zinc-topped table at lunchtime with a green salad and a dab of Dijon. A thick entrecôte or bavette is seared hard in a very hot pan, rested, then topped with a melting coin of shallot and parsley butter, while chips cooked twice come out crisp outside and fluffy within. In France the steak is usually served rare (saignant) or medium-rare (à point); because this is a whole-muscle cut, the inside can safely be pink as long as the outside is well seared, but cook it to your taste using the guide in the steps. Chef's tip: take the steak out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and salt it just before it goes in the pan, for an even, crusty sear.

Smoked salmon on brown wheaten bread

Irish smoked salmon, bradán deataithe, comes from smokehouses along the west coast in Connemara and Cork, and a plate of it on buttered brown wheaten bread is a classic starter at weddings and Christmas, and a light lunch in country hotels. The bread is a quick wholemeal soda bread made with buttermilk and no yeast, nutty and slightly sweet. Serve with lemon, capers and red onion. Cold-smoked salmon is not cooked, so pregnant people and anyone with low immunity should avoid it or use hot-smoked salmon instead. Chef's tip: cut the bread only when it has cooled completely; warm soda bread squashes and turns gummy.
