What would you cook?

[Heismyopendoor]

If you were on Masterchef/Come Dine With Me/other cookery show of your choice and had to cook a three course meal, what would you cook?

[PeapodBurgundy]

Ooh I hope this thread takes off!!! Food porn at its best 😁

Starter: Cheese baskets with roasted veg and salad garnish

Main: Posh roast dinner

Dessert: Hot black hole cheesecake with vanilla ice cream.

How about you OP?

[2018SoFarSoGreat]

Oh Peapod yours sounds great, if you can manage to keep the good bits of the main away from the meat, I'll come to your dinner!

I'd do:

Puff pastry boxes with shrimp in Alfredo sauce, or with wild mushrooms sauteed in brandy and butter.

Blood orange salmon, with garlic/rosemary roast potatoes and assorted roasted vegetables.

Almond, raspberry and dark chocolate cake, with a dollop of whipped cream.

Making myself hungry here.

Come on everyone. Feed us!!!

[RaindropsAndSparkles]

Different menus for each I think.

Masterchef I'm probably not equipped for and think I'd have the essential ingredients provided which would steer the decision.

Come Dine with me - hmm. I think I'd keep it really simple.

Fresh crab, prawns, avocado, fat cucumber slices separating layers, coriander garnish in towers with a lemony, marie rose type dressing, with a tiny hint of chilli.

Chicken breasts with sherry, shallots and dark mushroom with a simple dauphinoise, spinach and roast chantenay.

Chocolate pastry flan with lemon curd and mascarpone, secorated with raspberries and dark chocolate atrands.

Actually salivating! Haha. I don't eat meat or fish so there would be a veggie option on my main. Likely some form of wellington.

[Heismyopendoor]

Sounding yummy!! peapod DH asked me this last night and I took a total mind blank! Like no idea at all.

[gethintheway]

mmm all sounds yummy! I wish I was that creative with recipes. Recently bought a subscription box which has some great recipes so can't wait to cook those up!

Or
Pork done in apple then shredded and served in pitta with spring onion and cucumber

[whatareyoueatingNOW]

Come dine with me is hard because, inexplicably, there's always one moaner who won't eat seafood! So

Starter- Parmesan and herb soft rolls with asparagus cream soup and a Crispy goats cheese and asparagus croquette

Main- beef wellington with roast heritage baby carrots, Port and Stilton sauce and a watercress salad

Desert- treacle sponge and custard

Masterchef-
Salt cod croquettes, fried calcots with romesco sauce

Slow braised pig cheeks (in wine, tomato's, herbs) with soft cheesy polenta

[Bluesheep8]

I'd do -

Roasted tomato, balsamic and fresh basil soup

Pork schnitzel with what I call Vienna potatoes and green salad

Apricot betty

[Bluesheep8]

Probably don't "go" together or complement each other but I'd know I could make them with minimal effort and concentrate on the presentation
