Im not much of a cook and don’t have one but my wife had a thing when she wanted to impress at like a work thing or potluck or such. greek salad. super easy to make but people love it. Not me I hate anchovies.
I make some pretty damn good Tamil-style goat curry, or green Thai curry. If they’re afraid of flavor, I make boef bourguingon and fondant potatoes made with duck schmaltz.
If I really care about em, I make Peking or Canton-style duck, a true labor of love, and if they want something sweet, I make one hell of a pumpkin cheesecake with candied pecan topping and Graham cracker crust. Or creme brulee, especially if I have fresh fruit. That always impresses, despite being one of the easier things to make.
I’ll be right over
sounds incredible. I’ve only had vegetarian/pescatarian Tamil cooking, would love to try goat curry
enchiladas
green or red
shredded chicken, cheese, or shredded beefPoached salmon
Sounds fancy, very tasty, and super simple. Literally just boil them bitches in some white wine, and then chop up some onion and cube some potato and cook those in a pan with some oil, salt, and pepper and that’s a full meal
Saw a neat tip today for poached salmon that had you place the salmon in the poaching liquid skin up, but only use enough liquid to cover the flesh, leaving the skin exposed, and place it under a low broiler to poach, so you get tender poached salmon with crisp skin.
Not a dish I make often and my partner abhors the skin (Monstrous, I know) but it seemed like a good tip!
Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try that some time
That’s sadly impossible for me, I need to remove the skin. My dogs would never forget when I wouldn’t crisp it up for them to feast.
Wow, and I don’t even like fish and that sounds incredible.
All-day ragù
I impress them with my extensive knowledge of the best local takeout restaurants, then DoorDash that shit!
I didn’t have someone to impress for years now, so I can’t add much. I just wanted to say that I’d be down for some test-impressing for most of the recipes shared so far, in case you want to try it first. It’s a free service I offer.
Gumbo
Southern style savory cornbread
Black-eyed peas
Turnip Greens
It sounds like a really basic meal, and by most definitions it is, but it is so delicious.
I know the secret to making a triple decker grilled cheese :-)
And my gf says she can make homemade alfredo or homemade meatballs.
Shakshuka, Japanese curry, or misir wot if I can be bothered to pick up injera for it.
Shakshuka is the easy answer tho. Hard to beat.
Chilli. I make it ask fancy and indulgent with beer and ghost pepper and sometimes corn.
But would you be interested to know I made my ex pancakes after our first hookup?
Butter cihicken or Green curry. I make and sell DIY Butter Chicken kit and I make frozen green curry paste.
I buy something, put it in a Tupperware, and act like I made it.
Depends, if I’m cooking Texmex a can of chipotles in adobo sauce.
Sweets? A little bit of vanilla goes a LONG way. And I make my own with everclear and ordered pods split in half.
