Ricotta tart / Homemade Ketchup / Dashi-Simmered Eel.

Think of this as a savoury baked cheesecake, only not as rich. It is brilliantly light, in fact, and would make a wholesome lunch with a leafy salad.

I settled on a recipe by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. He's the mastermind behind Britain's River Cottage, a series of TV shows and books. His enthusiasm for ketchup is infectious.

In Shanghai, eel and pork are common combinations in a red-braised dish. I prefer to use dashi in place of water and sake in place of Chinese rice wine. Perhaps it's all the umami from the kelp in the stock, but a Chinese red braise never quite tastes as savory to me as that made with dashi.
