World Recipes世界食谱
The Library's first themed collection. It holds recipe knowledge items with their regional variants, provenance, version history, and rights review kept as first-class record fields rather than presentation state.
Quick Air-Fryer 8 records
Eight original practical notes for one small air fryer and an ordinary supermarket shop, five of them vegetarian. Each gives a temperature in Celsius, a time, and the single check that actually decides when the food is done; the one written for a shared table also says how long the dish may stand. None has been cooked in a test kitchen or reviewed by a food-safety professional, and none cites a source, because none is claiming one.

Lamb Kofta Meatball Traybake
Spiced lamb meatballs roasted in one tray on a bed of peppers and onions. A forgiving first oven dish: nothing is browned in a pan first, the meatballs are rolled by hand, and minced lamb is cooked right through rather than to a judged degree of doneness.

Lamb Chop and Potato Bake
Forequarter lamb chops and sliced potatoes baked together under a sealed cover, then finished uncovered until the potatoes colour. The second forgiving lamb approach in this collection: a whole cut rather than mince, laid flat in one dish, with no browning, no trimming and nothing to carve.

Chicken Thigh Traybake
Bone-in chicken thighs roasted on top of sweet potato, peppers and onion so the skin crisps while the vegetables take the fat. Skin-on, bone-in thighs are the forgiving cut here: they tolerate a few extra minutes without drying, and there is no jointing or carving.

Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Traybake
Salmon fillets laid among sweet potato, peppers and onion for the last ten minutes of a vegetable roast. The fish goes in whole and untouched — no turning, no skinning, no pan work — which is what makes it a reasonable first fish dish.

Halloumi, Aubergine and Chickpea Traybake
Aubergine, sweet potato, pepper and chickpeas roasted under harissa, with slices of halloumi laid on for the last stretch and a garlic yoghurt stirred together while it bakes. The hearty vegetarian main of this set: the tin of chickpeas carries it, and nothing needs timing to the minute.

Roasted Root Vegetable Traybake
A kilo of carrots, parsnips and swede roasted in one tin with new potatoes and whole garlic cloves, then dressed with the softened garlic, lemon and parsley and finished with feta and nuts. The simplest record in this set: one tin, one 50-minute roast, and a dressing stirred together at the end.

Portuguese-Style Chicken and Potato Bake
Thinly sliced potatoes, onion and capsicum get a head start in a garlicky lemon dressing, then bone-in chicken thighs rubbed with paprika and oregano roast on top of them. The potatoes cook in the chicken's drippings, so one pan gives the whole meal and a thin broth for mopping with bread.

Puttanesca Fish Traybake
Baby potatoes roast first, then a raw puttanesca-style sauce of tinned and fresh tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovy and fennel goes in around them, and thick white fish fillets finish on top. The fish cooks on the sauce rather than on bare metal, which keeps it moist and makes overcooking less likely.

Roasted Vegetable Gnocchi Bake
Shop-bought gnocchi roasted straight on the tray with capsicum, onion and mushrooms until the edges colour, then finished with sweetcorn, cherry tomatoes and feta and dressed with thinned pesto. No pot of boiling water is needed, which makes it one of the quicker dinners in this collection.

Baked Ziti with Beef or Pork Mince
Short tube pasta, part-cooked and tossed with a spiced mince and passata sauce, layered with dollops of ricotta and covered with mozzarella and parmesan, then baked under foil and uncovered to brown. The pasta and sauce are made on the stove; the oven only finishes and browns it, so the timing is forgiving.

Cumin and Paprika Lamb Rack Roast
A small lamb rack — the cutlet rack sold in Australian supermarkets as a 'lamb rack roast' — rubbed with cumin, smoked paprika, chilli and garlic and roasted on a bed of potatoes in one pan, with capsicum and tomatoes added at the end. The lamb is in the oven for about 40 minutes, which makes it the quick, weeknight lamb in this collection; one 500 g rack is a natural one-to-two-person amount.

Rosemary-Garlic Lamb Leg Mini Roast
A lamb leg mini roast — the small boneless piece of leg Australian supermarkets sell for two — rubbed with rosemary, garlic, honey and dijon mustard, roasted on a rack over its own vegetables, then sliced. A carved roast for a weeknight, in under an hour: smaller than a whole leg, and roasted hot rather than slowly.

Slow-Roast Rosemary-Garlic Lamb Shoulder
A bone-in lamb shoulder studded with garlic and rosemary, roasted covered over onion, garlic and water for 3 hours, then uncovered in a hotter oven to brown. Not carved: the meat is pulled off the bone with tongs. The opposite method to the quick rack and the mini roast in this collection — long, covered and moist, aiming for tender rather than pink — and a dish that gives leftovers.

Yoghurt, Berry and Granola Cups for Two
Vanilla yoghurt layered in two glasses with fresh berries and crunchy granola. Nothing is cooked: the only skill is spooning in layers, and the only rule that matters is to assemble just before eating so the granola stays crisp. Active time about 10 minutes; cook time none; chill time none; total about 10 minutes. Serves 2.

Egg-Free Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake
A one-mug chocolate cake with no egg, stirred together in the mug or a small bowl and cooked in the microwave in about a minute. It is a soft, fully cooked sponge, not a molten or lava cake: the centre should be set right through. Active time about 5 minutes; cook time about 1 to 1½ minutes; rest 1 minute; total about 8 minutes. Serves 1, or 2 sharing.

Small-Batch Apple Crumble
Sliced apples tossed with a little sugar under a rubbed-in topping of flour, sugar and cold butter, baked until the top is golden and the fruit is very soft. This is a half batch of a classic four-serving crumble, sized for two in a small, deep dish. Active time about 20 minutes; cook time 30 to 40 minutes; rest 10 minutes; total about 1 hour 15 minutes including preheating. Serves 2.

Lemon Posset for Two or Three
Rich cream heated with sugar, simmered briefly, then stirred with lemon juice and zest and chilled until it sets to a soft spoonable cream. The lemon's acid does the setting, so there is no gelatine, egg or oven. Active time about 10 minutes; cook time about 5 minutes; cooling about 30 to 45 minutes; chill at least 3 hours; total at least about 4 hours, mostly hands-off. Makes 2 to 3 small cups.

Crispy Air-Fryer Tofu
Vegetarian. Firm tofu, cubed and dusted with cornflour, cooked until the outside is dry and crisp while the middle stays soft. About 20 minutes end to end, and the washing-up is one bowl and the basket.

Air-Fryer Chicken Thigh Bites
Boneless chicken thigh cut into bite-sized pieces and cooked hot until the outsides colour. Thigh is the forgiving cut — an extra minute will not dry it out — but this is the recipe here where the thermometer, not the clock, decides when it is done.

Air-Fryer Salmon Fillet
Two salmon fillets, skin down, cooked until they flake. Nothing to turn and nothing to watch, and the fish is out of the basket before the rice has finished. About ten minutes, give or take the thickness of the fillet.

Air-Fryer Broccoli and Mixed Vegetables
Vegetarian. Broccoli florets and whatever else is left in the crisper drawer, cooked hot enough to brown at the edges instead of going soft and grey. Under 15 minutes, and one bowl to wash.

Air-Fryer Sweet Potato Wedges
Vegetarian. Sweet potato in wedges, cooked until the edges crisp and the inside goes soft. This is the long one in the section — about half an hour end to end rather than under 25 minutes — and still the least work of any of them.

Air-Fryer Bean and Cheese Quesadilla
Vegetarian. A tortilla folded over tinned beans and grated cheese and crisped in six or seven minutes. It costs very little, uses nothing that goes off quickly, and it is the recipe to know for the week the shopping runs out.

Air-Fryer Frozen Vegetable Dumplings
Vegetarian, if the packet says so. A bag of frozen vegetable dumplings from the freezer aisle, straight into the basket with a little oil. No thawing, no chopping, nothing to wash but the basket — the recipe for a night with no energy left for cooking.

Air-Fryer Garlic-Lemon Salmon
Salmon fillets under a garlic and lemon-zest paste, cooked in batches so nothing crowds the basket, and finished with fresh lemon juice off the heat. Written for a potluck, which changes two things: a thermometer decides when it is cooked, and a clock decides how long it may stand on the table.

Simmered Bean Soup
Dried beans soaked and then simmered with aromatics until soft. Used here as a worked example of a record that carries a real, scoped safety caveat rather than a generic one.
