Instead of overpowering the delicate fish, the sage and olives do a wonderful job bringing out its oceanic sweetness with hints of brine and herbal green notes. The lemon lends that acid zip that every piece of fish benefits from and a sprinkling of hot chile at the end gives it a pleasantly warm top note.

The chorizo flavored the broth with its spicy smoky flavor and made me really happy. I made a big pot and froze it in serving-size containers, so each time I made it I experimented with toppings. I tried grated mozzarella with a sprinkle of minced Italian parsley, which was good. But the dollops of salty, crumbly Queso Fresco cheese with minced cilantro and basil sprinkled over the top was the best.

Adobo is perhaps the Philippines’ most popular dish, consisting of pork and/or chicken cooked in a pungent mix of vinegar and soy sauce. Don’t confuse it with the many other variations of adobo (a Spanish term that loosely translates into “marinade” or “dressing”), which range from a thick, chipotle-infused sauce in Mexico to a garlicky dry rub in the Caribbean.

Blog Post & Slideshow & Recipe: The Food Lab: The Science of Pie Dough

What I'm after: The kind of crust that's substantial enough that it doesn't sog-out from a juicy filling but tender enough that it flakes in your mouth into buttery shards. A crust with substance, but not chew. A crust that divides along deep faults into many distinct layers separated by tiny air spaces and that cracks when bent. A crust that is never leathery or pliant, but not so tender or crisp that it crumbles instead of flakes. And of course, it should have a deep butteriness coupled with a balanced sweet and salty flavor.

I was going to cook a bread-crusted chicken of my own, using a sourdough crust ... The skin of the chicken was less golden than with the salt crust, which I suspect is more porous, but plenty of juices had collected inside, and the chicken was just as moist and flavorful.

Article & Recipes: Slowly does it: delicious braise recipes

So what are the key things to watch? For most braises the meat is browned before the liquid is added. The caramelisation and 'toasting' produced by frying in fat are essential to the end flavour. But meat won't brown if it is wet or if you crowd the pan, so dry your meat then cook it in batches. Don't use too much fat or you'll end up with an oily dish. If anything burns – garlic or onion or the fat itself – throw it out before adding liquid.
