When i do a roast, i make my own vegetable stock for the gravy. Bay leaves, boquet garni.. veg trimmings etc
Then slow roast red peppers and onions, blend them and add to the sieved stock. Add finely chopped mushrooms and reduce it further. Then i use good old bisto.
Used to sell the leftover gravy from pub lunch service to my locals  |

Almost anything in an “American” themed restaurant (Frankie&Bennies I’m looking at you). I am so sorely disappointed when I go to these type of places as I can do it so much better in my own kitchen |

“American style pancakes” - most places have beaten the batter to much and it’s not fluffy (15 turns of the spoon or less!)
And then they never put a big heaping of butter on top! This has been lost in translation but if you google American pancakes it will have a scoop/pat of butter on top- without it - it ain’t American

I don’t really have a signature dish I’m a all rounder when it comes to main dishes. I make a cracking roast dinner though with perfectly crisp roasties and thick meaty gravy.
Deserts, most of mine pretty good but a make a great cheesecake (making one this afternoon) and a very indulgent sticky toffee pudding |

" ... big heaping of butter on top! ..."
Made that mistake at my first Denny’s, thought the whipped butter was cream and put the whole thing in my mouth, instent regret |

I made some amazing Cornish Pasties this week from scratch, including the pastry. I usually use ready roll pastry, so was very pleased with them. I also make roast hazelnut toffee tarts this week, too.
I'm generally not too bad at cakes, taste great, but presentation falls a bit flat! |

Pork roast with veg and roast potatoes
Strawberry cream with vanilla ice
If it is not healthy for the body, it is going to be healthy for the mind |

My speciality isn't available in the shops, at least not in the UK (no folks, it's not that!)
It is creamy, naughty and indulgent (honestly, it's NOT that!)
I'm a master baker of pastel de tres leches. Absolutely delicious and very, very naughty  |

A signature dish passed down from the Italian side of my mother's family and it's been passed down to all the females in the family for about 200 years - Macaroni soup, simple yet delicious. And I ain't going to share it  |
