Chinese Duck.

Whole duck covered in 5 spice, salt and pepper, cooked to crispy perfection and shredded into pieces.

Served with finely chopped peppers, cucumber, spring onions, carrots, chinese pancakes and of course Hoi Sin sauce on the side. Delightful.

So if you were in my shoes what is it you would cook?

Roast. Chicken, lamb or pork.

Work in reverse in respect of times i.e. work to when do you want to serve it and put things on so they all finish at the same time.

Cooking for two you say, so you will need two chickens or two legs of lamb, you get the idea, just double up what you usually cook.

Fillet steak, served with scallops, black pudding and bacon on a pea & potato puree, with a lemon butter sauce.

Boned joint alert!

Don't have a signature dish as I cook many things, but my favourite ingredient is duck.

Tomorrow I'm making pan fried duck breasts with creamed celeriac, chestnuts and cabbage on the side, followed by a rich home made chocolate cake.

The duck recipe is from here:

It's easy to do, but time consuming if making everything from scratch. I'll write up the full recipe if you would like it.

Yeah actually that would be great!

Give me a couple of days. It's my birthday weekend and all the family have decided to visit me for a few days!

Chicken Wellington is one I made up for myself (I doubt I'm the first), as the OH won't eat beef.

Well I tried and failed to find any nice Venison or Pheasant (I didnt try too hard as its too cold outside)so just going with a really simple beef and Guiness pie with decent mashed spuds.

Very easy, very much a bung it all together and stick in the oven for a bit and mashed spuds take very little effort and it should taste good and be nice and warming and wintery.

I've yet to taste a roast lamb better than my own. feel free to invite me to sunday lunch if you beg to differ. being a yorkshireman, I was born to roast!

also:

saag gosht (6hrs marinade + 2hrs cooking). I'm working on the naan.
sushi (piss easy but impressive), gyoza, ramen.

but the real knicker loosener is tea smoked duck breast served with poached pear and blueberry jus, spring veg & green tea ramen. pud would be a layered hazelnut/chocolate/vanilla bombe with espresso.
