Slow-braised beef crostini with horseradish cream & crispy shallots — engagement measured in minutes, not clicks

Why this bite? James measures engagement by dwell time. This slow-braised crostini rewards patience — flavours that deepen the longer you stay.
The Story
Lancaster borrows from journalism the concept of dwell time — how long someone stays with a story before moving on. The same principle applies to conferences: a packed room means little if the audience mentally checks out after five minutes. This slow-braised beef crostini demands you stay: the flavours deepen with each chew, the horseradish reveals itself slowly, the crispy shallots reward patience.
