Purple and Japanese yam pancake "Korean Style"    In the second picture we go "All Yam" with a bed of stir-fried yam leaves (you can sub. Taiwan spinach) with shiitake braised in dashi and beef stock on top.  These are a delight.

The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.

We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.

A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
