This Vietnamese staple, pronounced ‘fuh’, is a concoction of fresh rice noodles soaked in hot flavorful broth, thin cuts of seasoned beef and a variety of garnishes.

There are different variations of Rendang: from the dry, black-brown type with stringy meat to the almost-soupy kind with, often, tough cubes. The Chinese makes theirs with pork! My favourite is made of beef, with thick gravy and tender meat with additional hard-boiled eggs to stretch the meal further.

NUMBER ONE key to a good puff pastry is the butter. Go all out here and find the best unsalted butter you can get your hands on, no cost spared [...] The start to finish time is a bit long, 3 + hours, but most of that time is chill time in between folds [...] Pastries are as much science as art and you need to be as accurate as possible. So start weighing out ingredients and have less recipe missteps.
