I used to get asked for heaps more, but my cooking repertoire hasn't really grown much in the past 10 years, and my friends and family all seem to have discovered Master Chef and upped the anti, rendering my offerings unnecessary ...
From DH it's lasagne or Spanish chicken (which is really nigella's!) followed by homemade ice cream.
Kids love meatballs, cinnamon scrolls, sausage rolls and pikelets.
Jelly slice and trifle from family/friends.
Malay Chicken Rice (but prefer Rouge's Hainanese Chicken Rice myself)
Nasi Lemak (Coconut Rice with all the accompaniments)
Christmas Pie
Curry Devil - a traditional Eurasian dish that doesn't have one bit of curry powder in it, but will blow the top off your head if it's done right
Crispy Noodles (my kids' favourite back in the day)
Crab, spinach and pine-nut fettucine alio olio (my dad's favourite)

Rouge and Sushee, you are making me hungry!
Z - raspberry jam in lasagne? you have got me curious.
i don't have a specialty, cook very few things, find cooking difficult now, all the steps, co-ordinating everything. Would love to remember how i used to make Thai Carrot Salad. i used to be known for my green chicken curry (thai). Have no idea how i use to make it (pre ABI.) Some smells are just SO familiar, i KNOW i used to cook with them, but can't remember now, what they go with, how to use them (e.g coriander, cardamon).
All of our home-made dairy products - cream cheese in dips or logs, havarti, camembert, yoghurt. Yum! The french onion dip (with homemade cream cheese mixed with Continental brand french onion soup mix) is always the first thing to go at family gatherings, followed by the cream cheese log rolled in paprika and chilli.
How do you use raspberry jam in lasagne? Stirred into the meat sauce?
as i am reading through the responses i had to have a little chuckle at the fact that most of us are known for sweet dessert dishes.
I never see my family but my husband often requests choc self sauce pudding with whipped cream.
