    I'm the Chef in my household, and tonight was no exception...I rustled up a wild mushroom risotto, which I have to say was pretty darned good

    Has anyone out there got a dish that they do well and is a favourite? A signature dish - so to speak?

      You sound like you live the dream....picking wild mushrooms, boating around the wilds of Scotland ....alas the "wild mushrooms" in my risotto were merely dried porcini from Tesco (the Finest mind you )

        get yersel out here, september to november, loads of em to be had.

        gutted though as there's one particular tree, under which you can feel a basket several times per season with cepes (aka porcini) als, the buggers have cut it down, so don't know wether there's gonna be any at that spot this year

        mushroom patches are probably more heavily guarded secrets than bass marks! Someone else has discovered one of mine and I have been known to get up at 4am to get there before them and then gan back to bed!

            I do all of the cooking in our house too as Yvonne is disabled. I have quite a few meals that I have made over the years also some really nice soups.

            One of my better meals was Monkfish in a Crab sauce, mmmmmmmmm to die for.

              My favourite dish to cook is Tiger prawns and Lap Cheong noodles ,I got the recipe from a huge Asian Kitchen book that I have ,I've not made it in a while but the level of differing flavours ......mmmmm ,might make it at the weekend . It has a large list of ingredients but it's great ,everyone who's been to ours and tried it has been amazed . Oh by the way I've not made this dish myself but Thai beef salad is something I had the other week and boy was it good ,again so many different levels of flavour ,anyone got a good recipe for it ,been on the web and only found average stuff.
