So what's the most involved dish you've ever made?For me, I'd say it's a tie between a buche de noel, and a raspberry and chocolate Bavarian cake. The Bavarian was more involved, but the buche de noel was trickier to put together.
Chicken and dumplings served on a bed of wild rice.It turned out OK.I feel incredibly inadequate compared to you.
Bread?I am a lazy cook.
>>2582Well, shucks. ^_^;Don't feel bad though. Most of my cooking mojo lies in baked goods/desserts, and I basically suck at free-styling. If I don't have a recipe, gods only know how the dish will turn out.
Barbecued chicken. I'm... not a terribly skilled cook.
Uh. Pie?
I made some sort of cheese and broccoli soup once. It was pretty good. After that, the closest thing is maybe french toast. Neither of these are really hard though.
>>2619I have trouble with French Toast. I can't seem to get consistent results, and they're never as good as they should be.
>>2621Don't be too hard on yourself. My french toast always ends up like regular fried eggs stuck to some bread.
i'm told that stews are hard but I've had no difficulty--beef bourginon, gumbo, that kind of thing.
>>2641>gumboI loooooooove gumbo.
>>2653>gumbo
>>2659>>2653which kinds do you guys like the most?i really wish i had the money to make a super fancy one full of crabs and stuff. I generally resort to chicken and greek sausage
>>2664I'm not too picky, since most anything goes well in gumbo. Though one combo I'm rather fond of is crawfish, mussels, and spicy sausage.
>>2664Spicy sausage chicken and shrimp.The only time I get gumbo is during fat Tuesday. ):
>>2673>>2677im gonna make these and invite you over
>>2678Goddamn I love me some gumbo
>>2678Yay!
>>2678do you use okra in your gumboooooo?
>>2695its kinda essential, so yeah
>>2696some people don't use okra but instead use some silly thing called filé powder. those people are haters.i'm glad you're not a hater.
This isn't a single dish but I've cooked the majority of a Thanksgiving dinner. Brined dat turkey like it was Aquaman.Single dish... uhh... uhh... OH! The "ratatouille" from the movie Ratatouille. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/13/dining/131rrex.html This looks like the recipe.
