I can never pick a favourite, but....

Classic Chilli con Carne
Steak (the more rare the better!) and chips with peas
Well cooked fish - seabass, plaice, salmon.....
Risotto (nice and simple - try making it with chicken and spinich)

I absolutely love the recipies in the hairy Bikers Cookbook - they do a great tomatoe rice one (can be teamed with any meat), and a SCRUMMY one for fish wrapped in parma ham, which is served with a beany rice. DELISH!

Cooking for a particular occasion?
