Egg mayo sandwich. Eating one now. Still a bit warm and really gooey. Nom nom.

What is it for you that is always best made at home instead of shop bought or restaurant?

There are some foods which should be left to the experts imo, though I am a keen cook and baker.

AimlesslyPurposeful · 23/08/2018 13:36

As PP said, roast potatoes.

Lovely golden crispy home cooked roasties!

Also, toast.

SinkGirl · 23/08/2018 14:00

Definitely macaroni cheese. I got a recipe a few years ago that’s so amazing, every other version sucks.

TheMagicTorch · 23/08/2018 14:03

Lasagne,
and Roast Potatoes.
I also love homemade chips, rather than frozen. Use my Actifry at home but when they're deep fried or double cooked in a restaurant YUM

PJBanana · 23/08/2018 14:05

Yorkshire puds!

PuffinsSitOnMuffins · 23/08/2018 15:23

Bread.

123drink · 23/08/2018 15:24

Cake

MrsJonesAndMe · 23/08/2018 15:32

Roast, pie, cake, muffins/cup cakes, flap jacks

QuantumWeatherButterfly · 23/08/2018 15:34

Spaghetti carbonara. Always a horror show if ordered in a restaurant.

And totally agree re: lasagne.

SinkGirl · 23/08/2018 15:38

Please share your recipe Quantum - I have always loved carbonara but nothing I make at home ever tastes right

SinkGirl · 23/08/2018 15:38

Oh and definitely roast potatoes - have never had good roasts while out.

CherryBlossom23 · 23/08/2018 15:42

My mam's cottage pie. Mine never tastes as good even though it's the exact same recipe 🤔. It's always bog standard in a restaurant but hers is delish.

Prefer home made roast dinners too with lovely roasties as previously mentioned.

buckeejit · 23/08/2018 15:46

I'd love a macaroni cheese recipe!

Fir me it's couscous, I make it good!

Needsleepneedsleep · 23/08/2018 15:47

Cake
Roasts and roast potatoes
Sandwiches
Salads
Chips
Fish pie

Whereland · 23/08/2018 15:53

Coleslaw! I'm not much of a cook but make amazing homemade coleslaw and it is so simple. The shop bought stuff is pure slop 😷

snowone · 23/08/2018 15:55

Me and my DD have just made some raspberry buns Smile they will be delicious
