（為了雅思口語能答上來食物相關話題決定了解一下歪果仁吃啥=v=） This is my home.

This is my kitchen.

This is my family. Tilly. Jack. Holly. Megan. And of course, my wife Tana.

You may think you're the busiest person in the world, but over this

series

, I'm gonna prove it's still possible to cook

stunning

food at home. My rules are simple, home cooking has to be easy. It's gotta be fast, but it's gotta be delicious. So if you think you can't cook amazing food at home, think again. These are the only recipes you'll ever need. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Everything I know about cooking, I've learned through hard work, drive and passion. From the age of 17 I made food my life, and

it's fair to say

that since then food has been

the making of me

. But the sort of cooking I

made my name with

-

intricate

dishes made with the world's finest ingredients - is a million miles away from the food I grew up on.

intricate: having many complexly interrelating parts or elements

For the first programme in this series, I'm updating some of the home cooked dishes I absolutely adored when I was a kid. First up for breakfast, a

classic

for my childhood. Stunning baked beans with

fluffy

potato cakes. Next a modern take on my favorite childhood lunch - fantastic fish fingers and an

irresistible

chip butty. My mouth was

salivating

. And I've got competition in the kitchen as mum helps make dinner. -Dad, shouldn't nanny be doing the cooking 'cause she's the better cook? -Excuse me! When I was a kid, this is my dream dinner. Super comforting shepherds pie with peas and carrots followed by a steamed date pudding with butterscotch sauce to die for. Let's get this show on the road. Come one. This is my ultimate childhood food. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

First a breakfast to really set you up for the day. Easy homemade spicy baked beans with deliciously light potato cakes. The first big thing that I remember as a kid was bacon and beans, so this is like a little

rendition

, except we're using the most amazing pancetta((意大利)非燻制的咸豬肉).

(Honey, come on. Psst. Disappear. Go chase some mice.)

Now, pan on. Get it nice and hot. I'm gonna turn these beans into

glamorous

beans.

glamorous:

attractive

?in an?

exciting

?and?

?way

Pancetta into the pan. Lightly season that. It's

cured

（腌制過） so it doesn't need that much

seasoning

.

cure（此處）:to treat food, tobacco, etc. with smoke, salt, etc. in order to preserve it

Now, start

frying off（煎）

that pancetta. It's amazing how the individual taste of baked beans. They're somewhat

bland

, so I always like to make them a little more

spicy

. So a nice finely chop chilli with the seeds.

Chilli in.

Now a bit of garlic. Crushed. Phenomenal.

Get that bacon really nice and crispy. Fry off the chilli and the garlic. And then onions.

My top tip for

dicing

- finely

slice

downwards. Slice across then cut down to simply

dice

.

dice(v.): to cut food into small squares

Bacon, onion, chilli, garlic. That flavour all contained in that little pan. Once you've

sweated

the onion

off

, a little bit of sugar in there. The bit of sugar will start to

caramelise（焦糖化）

, darken and enrich as well at the same time.

That looks beautiful. Now… Couple of

tablespoons（大湯匙）

of

cider vinegar

.

kick

to it now.

Spice

that

up

with one of my favorite

seasonings

. Worcester sauce（辣醬油，伍斯特沙司）. Bring that to the boil. And add your passata（純番茄汁） - pured tomatoes. Turn that down.

Simmer

the sauce to

reduce

, then add in the classic baked beans. Haricot beans（白腰果）. You can buy haricot beans dried or canned, they're packed with protein and have a lovely soft

texture

.

boiling

Turn down the heat and let the beans absorb all that beautiful, spicy tomato sauce and just let that simmer now.

Five or six minutes. Now for my potato cakes. They are fantastic way to use leftover boiled potatoes, and are so easy to make. I'm making a simple potato

dough

（土豆泥團） by adding flour and butter to the

mash

.

dough: 生面團

mash: 糊狀物

That gives it that nice sort of cakey texture and it goes from this leftover boiled potatoes to this nice, light, floury potato heaven. Take a nice spoon of potato, lightly flour your board. We're gonna fry these, crisp on the outside and just nice and fluffy in the centre. Now, get your pan nice and hot. We'll start off with olive oil, into the pan. Now put the butter round the outside. 'cause it starts heating up and by the time it goes into the center, it's almost sort of nut brown（深栗色）. Gently turn them over. Love that nice, light

crisp

. They look beautiful.

Now take them out. Potato cake in the middle, and a nice, beautiful spoon of beans. Growing up with beans on toast（豆子配烤餅） as a treat - still

to this day

, after all those years, has not changed my love or attitude for beans especially cooked like that. My smoky, spicy homemade baked beans with light and creamy potato cakes - comfort and satisfaction on a plate.
