To ask what your master chef signature dish would be?

[MyKingdomForACaramel]

I always imagine that the contestants agonise over what to cook. The ovens must be slightly different to home, the pressure must get to you, and you must want to show off! So- what would be your go to dish for the critic?

I assume my home made doner wouldn’t make the cut

I freeze and panic about this just THINKING about it!

When they show the Market shelves with so many things... my mind goes into a whirl of possibilities. I'd be standing there for ages, sad and blank.

I don't think I'd better apply

Really interested to hear what others come up with.

Beans on toast

Agree! The “market” looks quite intimidating

But to be honest I couldn't go on it because I think I'd be very like it to stab Gregg or John or possibly both.

My answer to the market challenge is always a frangipani tart with some kind of fruit. Can memorise pastry and cake recipe then just got to watch out for the new oven. Perhaps make custard in the leftover time.

I think fish of some description.

John & Greg always seem impressed when someone manages to cook that well.

'But to be honest I couldn't go on it because I think I'd be very like it to stab Gregg or John or possibly both.'

You're clearly my kind of woman

Screw ball with squirty cream on top

Duck a la orange avec dauphinoise.

My chicken soup. It’s legendary.

Bacon and eggs with toast (white ready sliced bread)

Chicken Kiev and roast potatoes

On a works night out a quiet colleague once confessed that her sexual fantasy was John and Gregg in twice baked, flambéed three way. What a dirty bird! I thought less of her an person after that.

2 rectangluar fish fillets covered in secret recipe batter, served on a bed of flavoured butter lightly spread over freshly kneeded flat white bread with a splash of tomato flavoured puree and covered with another layer of flavoured butter spread on freshly kneeded flat white bread.

@Elliemayclampett Please can you post your chicken soup recipe?

Cup-a-soup with toast crumbs on top.

Spaghetti hoops on rest of toast.

Butterscotch angel delight.

Sorry done the full three course menu. Make it the butterscotch angel delight with squirty cream blobs on.

Steak. Perfect steak with bearnise. Relatively simple but well executed- perfect.

Mexican chicken, made with jar taco sauce and jar passata and chicken stock cube. Served with avocado and packet tortillas. Yum

@hollowtalk I don’t follow a recipe, I just chuck it all in carrots, onion, butternut squash, sweet potato, celery. Stock cube, let that cook to 80% done. Shredded chicken breast, tin of sweetcorn and I boil up some rice and chuck that in.
Salt and pepper. Crusty bread.

Lasagne- it take bloody hours but is so worth it

My go to recipe is roast chicken breast with creamy butternut squash and chilli (Jamie Oliver ). I'd have to tweak it so it was 'my own'!
