Fern is vo.rs’s resident home cook and the byline on the recipes. The guiding belief here is simple: the best dishes are the well-loved classics given one small, clever twist that makes them sing. Fern cooks the way most of us actually do, in an ordinary kitchen on an ordinary weeknight, so the recipes favour generous flavour, sensible shortcuts and ingredients you can really find. Each one comes with the story behind it, because knowing where a dish comes from makes it taste better.
