I thought it would be interesting to know what your most favourite dishes and desserts are (not necessarily made by yourself but can be a fantasy creation!). Be as specific as you want!
I am suggesting a top 3 in mains and 3 in desserts but, hey, if you go over...
For those who don't have a sweet tooth, you could substitute 3 starters instead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here are mine, currently (I have relatively simple tastes!):-
Main Dishes
- A deluxe steak pie with puff pastry lid (good quality beef and gravy) with mash and lightly cooked greens.
- Haddock & chips (fresh and not overcooked, light batter) with tartare sauce
- A roast dinner e.g. Forerib with goose fat roast potatoes (and lots of them) with gravy, carrots and kale
Desserts
- A deluxe trifle (base of fruit cake soaked in brandy, layered with mango, banana, then fresh custard and topped with creme chantilly and toasted flaked almonds
- an exceptionally made Tiramisu
- a quality Chocolate Cake (reduced sugar) with ganache filling, topped with freshly whipped cream and decorated with chocolate caraque/curls
