3. 3

   Grill

   Brush half the glaze over the corn and turn it on a hot grill or in a pan until it picks up brown char marks.

4. 4

   Finish

   Brush on the remaining glaze and scatter cilantro or parsley over.

No coming back

Things that actually went wrong over 20 years in a kitchen.

• Leave the lime butter over high heat too long and it can split and turn bitter.

You can fix this

If it hasn't burned or stuck to the pan, it can still be fixed.

• If a drinking snack is too salty, serve vegetables or tofu alongside it. With drinks, a little salty is better than flat.
