So, everyone has one meal that they are well known for cooking.
It may be just within the family , it might be when they have a dinner party.
So, my question is ……
What is your signature dish ?
For me, it would be lasagne.
A firm favourite in my family.
Dessert would be my special bread and butter pudding ….
I have posted about it before…..
Using brioche rolls and adding whiskey to the custard….
Those two dishes are requested many times by my family……
What is your signature dish ?

Back in my apartment days before I got married, I ended up having my cousin from my hometown move in for a couple of months until he found an apartment of his own. He has always loved spaghetti and meatballs. He fell in love with my recipe and started telling everyone that I made the best in the world. I was surprised because I used a lot of seasonings, fresh onion, garlic, etc. and he was always a picky eater.

@Traceyjayne I love to cook when I have fee time. I don't like to be pressured to cook something unexpectedly.

@Traceyjayne I love it, with a hot custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Those both sound good. The signature meal around here was always my pork tenderloin with lavender. Gives it a great flavor. Don't fix it often anymore because it is so expensive.

I guess my signature dish would be meatballs. My family asks for them all the time especially my middle granddaugther. A few years ago I made her a batch for her birthday and told her she didn't have to share 
Speaking of signature dishes my mom made the best potato salad and we still talk about it and she's been gone for almost 10 years.
