Signature Recipes - What is yours?

I totally get it - all the recipes that I have in my mind when I think of delicious food are not restaurant recipes, but family recipes. My mum makes the most delicious (homemade) lemon meringue pie. My Nan makes truly scrumptious sticky toffee pudding... (It's a wonder I don't weigh 20 stone!) My signature dish (if I'm allowed one, at the tender age of 24): pork chop with apple in a thick mustard sauce! Also, I make a killer English breakfast.

I am a kitchen disaster! My mom is a great cook, she loves to experiment on foods but still come up with a delicious meal. She tried to teach me and my 2 sisters but unfortunately, I am not fitted to be a cook. I gave up trying to be a best cook but I can still cook my favorite dish. It is the only food I perfected and I can cook it without help from anybody. Even though I am not a good cook, I am a good in making deserts so whenever there is party in the house, my sisters and mom will take care of the main course while I be the one in charge of deserts.

I guess my mother has handed down her famous spaghetti bolognese recipe to me (it's really good!) but I am not vegetarian so I replace the mince with TVP- texttured vegetable protein. It tastes just the same and is awesome and healthy. Everyone else in my family are meat eaters but whenever I cook my Vegie loaf they get stuck into it like vultures! The ingredients are lentils, egg replacer, garlic, tomato sauce, curry and mustard powder, onion and grated carrot. It tastes great, is easy to make and is super healthy.

I don't think I really have signature dishes...I have chocolate chip cookies that I make for Hubby and he prefers them to store bought or bakery bought. I also make mashed potatoes for all the family gatherings b/c my Mom loves mine. Whenever I make Lasagna I usually have to make two b/c my Mom always asks for one for them. Other than that I just make dishes like roasted chicken and potatoes, cuban bread and many others. [b]~~I AM WHO I AM~~ **STANDING STRONG IN MY BELIEFS**[/b]

Mine seems to change. When I lived in Florida it was my Rum Cake. Now it is my Mexican pinwheel appetizers. Funny how that happens.

My hubby absolutely LOVES my spaghetti! Instead of making meatballs, I just brown the ground beef and add it to my spaghetti sauce, along with italian stewed tomatoes and mushrooms. According to him, it's JAMMIN'!! :D

I dont really have one. I make a pretty good meatloaf but I wouldnt say it;s my signature dish. I just think there are some things that are better than others and my signature dish is one that you would make over and over again. I think most of the things that I make are pretty good though. I am a decent cook.

I was handed down the tradition of Christmas Eve dinner. I prepare seven different fish dishes, all Italian. Some are combined with sauces to serve over pasta, some fried, and one baked. There are more than seven recipes but two of them are always served. One is spaghetti with anchovy and oil and the other is a salad with vegetables and dried cod. I have perfected both of these. Every year they look forward to this meal, and are so thankful that I learned how to prepare it. I do this as a gift to them and in memory of my mother. You see my mother and grandmother are both gone now. Do continue to learn all that you can in order to carry on the wonderful foods of your family, you will be happy and thankful that you learned it.

Well, so I heard I make great pasta and grilled chicken :-) My grandparents didnt hand me down any recipes but I hope my Mom would. She's a great cook herself and like your grandma, people rush to the dining table every time she cooks.

I love chicken. I love BBQ chicken an I loved fried chicken. So my signature recipe is fried BBQ chicken, I learned how to make it when I lived in the south. There is truely nothing like it, everyone should try it. Becareful though, it's a very high fat high calorie recipe that is full of flavor so everyone on a diet shouldn't try this. You will fall in love with it.

me being a nurse my father so amaze that i cook so good and all the food i cooked they really like it even my friends but that is just mine i dont really have a recipe from my family. i just really love to cook but for others not for me...i prefer to eat food made by the others not mine ...i dont know but i just feel so happy when other loves the food i cooked but i dont know why they really like all the food i make but me on my self i dont like eating my own cooked food...maybe that is just my principle..but that makes me happy cooking food for others not for me

the signature recipe of my family is a whole meat of pork hamonada, but my own signature recipe is my style sisig of pure pork meat with no fat.
