Difficult this one. Some dishes look better, some sound like they would taste better and some demonstrate technical ability and creative thinking.

The comps are getting more difficult to vote on. Though I am prepared to travel & taste the dishes for reasonable expenses!

Difficult voting on this one.

None of you slackers made your own Port, though....

Can we have AV voting?

I will pick you up from Newcastle airport if you want to try my submission for the next competition - you will have to buy your own flight though.

With all due respect to the the other very yumcious looking dishes on show, I just fancy Bob's ravioli the most this time around.

[Bob the Planner]

Thanks Captainzep. It was simple but tasty. I was particularly pleased with the sauce with very crisp flavours.

Congrats TomE -very worthy winner.

Good looking dish.

Looking forward to the next ingedients!

[TomE]

Bloody hell! Thanks for all that voted, there were some amazing looking and sounding dishes as always! I'd personally never cooked with duck before so it's given me loads of reciepe ideas!

I'll get another going asap so we can run it for two weekends.

I have never cooked with duck before too. Found out that you can get 2 meals for two from a bird and it is a load easier to joint than a chicken.

Good stuff.

Well done TomE and also to all the other entries. Very high quality of submissions, would have been happy to eat any of them!

Good to see that people are being inspired, after all that is the whole point of the contests! Looking forward to seeing the entries for the lamb competition... I have a couple of ideas but I'll have to try and get them done during the week, as I'm off to attend Pride of Longbridge next weekend along with about 1,000 other MG/Rover/Austin/Triumph/Morris/Wolseley/Riley owners!

I think it's because some people had their accounts hijacked and the eBay burglars created stupid polls

Well done Tom.

A worthy winner.

As has been said it's great to use ingedients that you probably wouldn't use otherwise.

A bit of a pity there are so few entries each time. Come on everyone! You might enjoy it.

I don't like the twin ingredients as I have trouble trying to think of something. However reading a recepie I have been meaning to do for ages I discovered it contained both ingredients so could have made that. It was a chicken and duck terrine, egg was used as a binding agent
