The problem with my food, is that i just make it to taste and smell great. I dont really give a toss what it looks like, i'd likely lose just on that alone. Then again i'm not sure which dish i would do. Yourself?

Either a really traditional roast with lots of great veg and all the extras or a really special steak or chicken pie.

i make a cracking full english breakfast (it's the only thing i can actually cook well )

2 walls pork sausages
3 rashers extra crispy bacon
2 fried eggs
3 hash browns
fried mushrooms
piping hot heinz baked beans (with a sprinkling of pepper)
2 pieces of hot, buttered toast
a nice cup of coffee...

i've put on half a stone just writing that!

Ditto. Plus most of the dishes that I cook really well are things like stews and pasta dishes which are quite hard to serve in an elegant, formal fashion. I tend to go for the 'rustic' approach when in comes to presentation.

Starter:
Scallops wrapped in pancetta with some little dots of celeriac puree. When scallops out of season I'll do a nice caramelised onion and gruyere tartlet
Main
Winter:Lambs shanks slow cooked in balsamic and rosemary with baby new potatoes roasted in olive oil and salt
or
Chicken roasted with apples and pears served with a carrot puree thingy- sformata, a kind of souffle

Desert:
Winter: Pear and almond tart with custard or cream
Summer: Vanilla ice cream with limoncello poured over

These are my out-to-impress/celebrate a big occasion recipes. Normally my food doesn't look half as good as it tastes but these dishes work out really well presentation wise. My chicken dish seduced my now-husband

Even though I am unable to enter Masterchef, because I have had formal training. I would have to say that my dish would be Monkfish, with mushroom and bacon sauce on a bed of saffron wild rice.

Dessert would have to be Orange Chocolate Roulade

Only one cup of coffee and only 2 eggs....... so all this is intended for just one person? (Baked beans for breakfast? I'd have thought some oatmeal, maybe.... )

Chocolate brownies. I make them regularly, with my own recipe, which is an adaptation of a Nigel Slater one, and they have never failed to get really good comments.
