How I cook

The tommakesfood way

🥩

No substitutions

If a recipe calls for guanciale, it calls for guanciale. The right ingredients make the difference — and they're usually easier to find than you think.

Time is an ingredient

Some of the best things take hours. A good braise, a long ferment, a slow roast — patience pays off in flavour. Worth it every time.

🔄

Make it again

Every recipe here has been cooked multiple times. If it doesn't make the cut on the second or third try, it doesn't go on the site.
