What food are you pleased you can make well?

I make really great pizza! It's taken a while to perfect it and seeing the family tucking in is very satisfying!
We have pizza night once week and I love that it's something everyone enjoys and it is so cheap to make!
What do you make that you are proud of?

I’m a good cook when I set my mind to it. When I can’t be bothered I make bolognese. Cooked low and slow in the oven for hours, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Oh and my taboulleh is requested for every summer party.

Yorkshire pudding, both dairy free/gluten free and normal.
It's taken a while but I've got a guaranteed recipe that make huge one's!

Roast chicken. I am known as the Chicken Queen (in a good way) in my family. I never get it wrong.

I'm generally an ok cook, one dish that seems pretty foolproof for me is paella - not claiming it's authentic, but very tasty. I usually make one with chicken, chorizo and prawns; recently tried just seafood and chorizo, which was also good.
I've used Delia Smith's Luxury fish pie recipe a few times and that's very nice too, but of course anyone can follow a recipe!

I came on to say rice. I think it can be done really badly looking at you DP who is usually an excellent cook. I have been cooking it since I was about 12 though. Under the watchful eye of my Nigerian mum

@Madcats

I usually recommend the Jamie Oliver Yorkshire Pudding recipe to my friends as a starting point (it’s broadly similar to the quantities I imagine I use). I do find with an electric oven that you need to ignore the temperature dial and simply go as high as possible so that might do the trick for you. Also, ideally you should use lard if you’re not vegetarian though and not a smidge but a whole chonk, and if you have even marginally hard water, use all milk for your wet ingredients or filtered water. Sounds crackers, but we moved to somewhere with terrible hard water and my beloved Yorkshires made with 50/50 water and milk were like pancakes a change to milk or filtered water fixed it straight away.

It’s sometimes a case of trial and error, writing your recipe each time, tweaking until you get the write concoction. Do it when you’re not pressured to perform, and freeze up the edible results (those that don’t get eaten purely for research purposes of course )

I make a good courgette cake, so I am told.

Ooh thanks, this would be amazing. I'll plan a trip to the butcher this weekend and have the family on standby for heaven

@Oatsamazing The one I use is similar to Jamie Olivers. I recommend trying his. My chef brother has been giving me lessons and now I make a wetter dough with less yeast and a longer rise... Its quite hard to handle!!!

I make a bangin' spag bol!

I’ve got the magic touch with eggs, apparently. Poached, scrambled, fried, boiled, whatever.

It's an odd one but homemade garlic bread - gets adults and kids alike excited! Also my homemade burgers always go down so well at summer BBQs!

I make good curries. My dahl is ace. The key is a full spice tin.
Also make good bread, especially foccacia.
I love baking. I think love helps improve any food

Lasagne.
I like my own better than any restaurant. My sauce is better

I'm good at deserts making Pavlova, roulade, Bakewell tart etc

@SadButTheTruth Please coddle you share the curry recipe?🍷

Jam and marmalade. Never had one turn out wrong.

Strawberry, blackcurrant, mixed fruit, plum, blackberry, crab apple, raspberry - they all turn out cracking 😎

I make an awesome roast dinner, curry, lasagne and beef stew and dumplings. @

Chicken curry and naan bread

Roast dinner
Carrot cake
banana bread

I make a great mushroom bourgignon cobbler but cannot claim credit for the recipe, which belongs to the Hairy Bikers. My bread is also wonderful but can’t make pastry and my cakes are very hit and miss.

@Irishgal20 and @ChateauCat Will do! I’m just going to double check the ingredients as it’s an eyeballed and inherited recipe (my mum copying it from her Malaysian friend!!) so I don’t want to miss anything.

Proper curry that's not out of a jar!

I do a mean steak and somehow can cook to everyone's liking.

My Yorkshire puds (I'm a Yorkshire girl though so I have to do these well or risk deportation to Lancashire)

Roast dinners, yorkshires, home made burgers

Roast potatoes, pastry, chocolate cherry muffins.

I can never cook duck properly though.

I make a mean chocolate fudge cake, I always get asked the recipe and my MiL always asks me to make it for her birthday.

I also make really good BBQ ribs or Asian style ribs. My burgers are pretty good. My FiL and husband always want me to make food for a BBQ lol.

I also make a good lasagna and spaghetti Bolognese.
