I enjoy a bit of cooking and baking when i get time, made what i think is my best dish yet tonight and was wondering if anyone else likes making their own food, and if so, whats your favorite / signature dish?

Made tempura battered chicken, egg fried rice with peas, corn & spring onion and a sweet and sour stir fry.

Pretty basic order for the local takeaway, but making it all from scratch and getting timings right is tricky, and tbh its the best i've ever tasted.

Got enough left over to take in for lunch tomorrow, yum.

My signature dish seems to be Broccoli and Stilton soup. But me and a couple of mates are having a Come Dine With Me week starting Tomorrow. So my soup is the starter, then Chicken stuffed with gorgonzola and cranberry sauce, wrapped in Pancetta on a bed of asparagus is my main. Then homemade lemon sorbet for desert. There's a chance I'll fuck something or someone up

I make bolonese and its better than any i've had and could easily eat 500g of mince in a oner but have to refrain myself.
Mac+cheese mine is the best i've had.
Penne amatriciana, mine is the best.

Doesnt look much, but was tasty. The chicken batter was lush and crispy, but that was in a frying pan. If i had a deep fat frier they wouldnt be so dark, oil too shallow so batter touching the bottom of the pan.



Yes i'm bored tonight.

I made a curry from scratch last month from as basic as ingredients as possible. It was amazing but cost about 3 times what a take away would

Mike, minor flaw in your argument, you get sweet & sour chicken from a chinkies, not injuns x not found a decent takeaway here yet and been here a year now

Cooking from scratch is always more expensive, but i like the idea of knowing exactly whats in my food and know theres not 400g salt etc.

Anyways, i think it always tastes better rather than takeaway.

I've been trying since I moved out but I'm still not very good.

I was quite pleased with my first stew tbh and made a good chilli the other day but not exactly complicated.

My first from scratch curry was crap.

I occasionally think it would be good to try cooking something but then when the time comes, order a pizza/chinese/go to the chippy

Unless it's a case of out of the packet, into the oven then when the timer beeps, it's done, then laziness usually takes over

I never make anything to eat until I'm proper hungry, so by that time I just want something quick and easy. That looks tasty though!
