Reference figures for a dish as it is commonly cooked — never a measurement of your plate. The range is the honest part: two kitchens make this differently. In the app, a photograph replaces the guess.

Method
4 steps
rest · 30m walk awayBoth out of the fridge half an hour beforehand. Cold mozzarella tastes of almost nothing and cold tomato of less.
chop · 5mTomatoes and mozzarella into thick slices, torn rather than cut if the mozzarella is soft enough.
finish · 3mAlternated on the plate, basil torn over by hand, oil and flaky salt. No vinegar, no balsamic glaze, nothing else.
grill · 3mBread toasted to carry the juice left on the plate, which is the best part.
Worth knowing
