What is your signature dish?

[Adillo303]

Maybe a two part question.

What one dish do you consider to be your signature dish? The one dish that says YOU all over it. The one you are most proud to put in front of company.

Possible secone question. Those that you cook for on a frequent basis, may view a different dish as your signature. If you are aware of this then what is that one.

I feel that my signature dish is my cheesecake. I got the recipie from a restaurant that drew from miles around for just this cake. I top mine with three kinds of fruit and seldom have leftovers.

Many of my friends are very enamored with my Rye Bread. I have shipped it as far as Atlanta. Also great reviews.

Hope you all have fun with this.

My signature dish is my Thanksgiving dinner, the best 3 being my Turkey (stuffed with meyer lemons & fresh grown herbs), carrots in a dill cream sauce and the greatest sweet potato dish ever (and I got it here!): http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/showpost.php?p=182767&postcount=10

The one that most ask for is my cookies, specifically my Grandma's Monster Cookies. They're big & chewy and IMO, the greatest cookie in the world. Someday I hope to publish them (as well as other recipes) as a tribute to my Grandma.

I would have to say my Lasagna is my signature dish. My sons have requested it and others have raved about it.

MY family and friends love my homemade ravioli and the sauce or gravy for them..They also request my stuffed onions..All three were from tying my mother-in-law to a chair and forcing the ingredients out of her These I learned to give my DH something he dearly loved after his mom couldn't do them anymore and also for his brothers who's wives just didn't want to be bothered..So I learned

DH would say one of my soups...... most likely the cream of chicken / wild rice.

The kids would say potato pancakes!!!!

My braised brisket with root vegetables. Second my Beef Barley soup I git requests for both quite often, And the seniors over where my sister lives swears that my cinnamon rolls are the best

 

[roadfix]

According to my friends and family, I make the best Japanese beef curry anywhere. All I do is follow the simple instructions on the box of curry mix.

How can you have just one!!! Different settings call for different signatures.

I suppose I can narrow it to 3...

1. Red pepper roasted pork loin with vegetables.--outdoor cooking
2. Chili!! I have a huge following for my chili. -- casual food
3. Stuffed pork loin. -- a bit on the fancy side.

Until I learned to bake bread back in March, it was Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Soup. Now the requests are for breads and rolls. Even the church ladies ask for the breads for their bake sales. The last bake sale they put eight half loaves of my Italian bread on the table priced at $3.00 per half loaf, and sold them all in 20 minutes once people found out that I made them.

Joe, are your bread recipes posted anywhere? I am anxious to start making my own bread and need all the help I can get.
