KOREAN CHEESEBURGERS WITH SESAME-CUCUMBER PICKLES
These double-stacked cheeseburgers bring all the savory-sweet flavors of grilled Korean barbecue. A garlicky scallion marinade helps build flavor three different ways: stirred into burger mix, brushed on the patties to form a glaze, and combined with mayonnaise to create a special sauce. The burgers are formed into thin patties, set on a baking sheet and broiled for maximum caramelization and weeknight ease. Roasted sesame oil rounds out tangy pickles and bolsters the burger with extra umami.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add cucumbers and toss to coat, then let stand at room temperature.
- Heat broiler to high and set oven rack set 6 inches from heat. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix well, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the marinade to a small bowl and stir in mayonnaise and ½ teaspoon sesame oil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine beef and 3 tablespoons of the scallion marinade. Gently mix to incorporate. Form into 8 thin patties (each about 4 ½ inches wide) and arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush tops with half of the remaining marinade. Flip and brush with the remaining marinade. Broil until golden and caramelized on top, about 4 minutes.
- Arrange cheese on 4 patties, top with the remaining patties and let stand until cheese melts, about 1 minute.
- Pour off all the liquid from the cucumbers and stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- Smear the cut side of the buns with some of the seasoned mayonnaise. Arrange bottom buns on plates. Layer with lettuce, onion, tomato, double-stack burgers, pickles and top bun. Serve with extra pickles on the side.
CHEESE STARS
This is a very popular crunchy snack in my house - a batch will disappear within ten minutes! I often make a variety of shapes (stars, hearts, sticks - good for dipping). Feel free to add any spices you like to the mixture - it only gets better with experimentation! I've even sauted some chopped garlic and added it to the mixture with the spice - especially good with rosemary added.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 200C, or 180C fan assisted. Grease and flour two large baking trays.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, herbs and spices. Crumble in the stock cube and stir well until evenly distributed.
- 3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- 4. Stir in the cheese until well distributed (I find using two forks to pull apart the clumps of grated cheese is a good method).
- 5. Mix in the egg yolk with your fingers, working the mixture to a dense dough. You may need to add a splash or two of water to achieve the correct consistency - the mixture should not be sticky, but should not leave crumbs in the bowl.
- 6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of around 5mm - this isn't too vital, but will affect cooking times.
- 7. With a star-shaped cutter, stamp out as many shapes as you can from the dough and place, slightly spaced, on the baking sheets. Re-roll the dough and repeat until you have too little left to work with.
- 8. Brush each star with a little egg white and bake in the preheated oven for around ten minutes until golden.
- 9. Remove and cool on wire trays.

Steps:
- Unroll the pastry and sprinkle most of the cheese over one half of the sheet. Fold the pastry in half to cover the cheese and seal it in.
- Dust your rolling pin and work surface with a little flour and put your pastry sheet on it. Roll it out until doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Using cookie cutters, cut the pastry into shapes and put them on the prepared baking sheets. (Put the cutters on the dough close together so that less pastry is wasted. You can fold the trimmings back on themselves and re-roll to cut out more shapes.)
- Brush the shapes with milk and add a pinch of cheese and a sprinkling of your chosen topping, if using.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 mins or until risen and golden, then transfer to a serving plate. Will keep in an airtight container for 3 days.

Tips:
- For a crispy result, make sure to use finely grated Parmesan cheese.
- If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
- To make the stars more even, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Be careful not to overbake the stars, as they can quickly burn.
- Let the stars cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
