You didn't say what you best known for!.....:
Ummm.... I don't know what I'd say, have to think more. I usually just offer to make things like a salad or dessert and they happily accept. I tend to follow recipes so I don't have any mishaps!
Mine are -
Baked ham
Shortbread
Mince tarts
Potato salad
Anzac biscuits
Lemon tart
Various desserts and slices
My mini bacon and sweetcorn quiche
The reputation of my chocolate mousse precedes itself...is rather yummy!
My pho - I swear it tastes just like the stuff I used to buy from the noodle carts in Vietnam. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...332#post608332
Lasagne - my not very secret ingredient is rasberry jam
Slow cooked lamb shanks with rosmary and garlis (it's pretty hard to mess that up lol)
It used to be chicken wings marinated with my secret family recipe (ie a jar of masterfoods marinade :p ) and caramel slice. The wings were famous with a groupd of friends I no longer see, and the caramel slice is still popular with family but it's now my pavlova. Even the one I made a total mess of at christmas was apparently amazing.
As far as the recipe for my pav, I use the Donna Hay recipe on the masterchef website. I double everything to make a bigger one but I only increase the cooking time by an extra 20 min.
Swedish Meatballs
Shortbread (Turkish and Irish)
Potato Salad :p

Slow Roasted Pork Belly

Homemade marshmallow
Recipe please. My one attempt (about 10 years ago lol) was a massive, massive fail. Which sucks because I love home made marshmallow. Especially when it's rolled in coconut.:
choc ripple cake. living on the edge.
Hehehe I get asked for ripple cake too lol:
My white choc mud cake is a repeat request. It takes forever but it's so damn nice!!
BG I thought your post said nipple cake lol :)

From people that actually enjoy food, my layered latte cheesecake would have to top the list
