Something different to make or cook?

[ChilliWhizz]

I'm looking for something new to have a go at, over the years I've cooked a variety of dishes, and regularly knock up Thai stuff, Chinese, Indian etc. I have a small repertoire of lamb dishes, including Moroccan, Greek, and even Persian.... Pasta features fairly regularly, as does the good old British Sunday Roast We held a series of cooking competitions at the local, which included things like scotch eggs, cakes, even pork pie, and a mate (another foodie and avid cook) occasionally pops round and we'll get a bit creative... we've tried steak using the sous vide method (in my slow cooker), pork dim sum buns, and most recently good ole jerk chicken... bloody lovely I'm also a bit of a BBQ fiend...

Anyhoo, a lot of you guys are probably like me, and love experimenting.... and have some great dishes to suggest.... I've just run out of ideas

So, any suggestions welcome, the more challenging the better...

Thanks in advance,

Chilli

Can I suggest you try "Tapas" this weekend and put an entry in to this month's cooking competition.

Interestingly, a lady friend bought me a book last year called 'tapas' It contains 100 recipes, with great photographs.... I haven't used it yet though

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I have done a lot of browsing, and I quite find the Levantine cuisine interesting, having watched a number of Yotam Ottolenghi's programmes on the Good Food channel over the past year... I travelled to Russia a number of times in the early '90's and wasn't overly impressed with the food, although it was hotel food, so maybe a revisit of the cuisine is called for.. such a large country too, I imagine there are some fairly major regional differences, we did a number of stop overs in Moscow, but spent most of the time in Murmansk... Brrrrr...

Matt, loving your Tuscan suggestion
