Crabcakes. Several years of toying with it, now most people say my crabcakes are the best they've had. (And, by the way, Maryland's got the reptutation, Maine's got the crab.)

Lamb Vindaloo. I was greatly disappointed when the owners of my favorite Indian restaurant moved away from the small (only one local Indian restaurant) town and the place closed. I started researching one of my favorite Indian dishes, analyzed several dozen other recipes and ended up with my own vindaloo.

I am known for my bread puddings. I make both sweet and savory. At one time I was thinking about going into business with them.

rice and beans

everyone seems to love my baked beans and my choc decadence cake.
they are both other's recipes (A. Brown and Emeril) but I always put a different spin on them, so they are never the same twice.

Baked beans in the slow cooker. Always a hit at a tailgate.

My lasagna is always a hit.

Irish Cream Bundt Cake. Not mine, but it's fantastic.
Also my chicken enchiladas are always a hit (there's much more to them than chicken, cheese, and tortillas) and people love my vegetarian pastas.

My Colorado green chile with pork is the first thing the daughter asks for when she gets off the plane.

Red wine pot roast and swedish meatballs, although the meatball recipe came from someone else.

I have a few...
Pound Cake, and Chocolate Malt Cheesecake....both won ribbons at the State Fair.

I make a pretty great chicken/chorizo paella, using chicken thighs and drums cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, as for scarpariello.

tofu stir fry with my own secret sauce, pumpkin risotto, home made yeast free pizza, wholewheat penne with roast vegetable sauce, brussel sprouts (I can make them taste like candy to small children mwahahahaha)

Seriously good cioppino -- but without the shells, tails, and mess. This is cioppino you can curl up on the couch with, just a bowl and spoon.

Barbeque. I've learned the secret of marinading.

In traveling the world I've come to realize that Americans don't put soup on the table often enough. I've pursued the art and have come up with a very good, easy Gumbo and I get repeated requests for my Mexican inspired Black Bean Soup.

Guacamole, Bittman's no-knead bread, and peanut butter cookies are my most-requested recipes these days.
emily20008 at 11:30AM on 08/03/07
I have too many to count (talk about bragging ha-ha)... But my crab cakes and lime-dill tartar sauce are always a hit...as well as my homemade, stuffed croissants (I only make croissants once or twice a year though as I think my hubby would have a massive coronary if I made those on a regular basis). My pizza is always a winner...my spinach quiche gets raves...oh lordy...too many to mention without hogging this thread. :))
P.S. I'd love some of the recipes mentioned...c'mon spill! ;)

This is frustrating without the recipes!

My hoisin chicken with cashews is pretty tough to beat. Only secret is a goodly amount of szechuan pepper and hoisin sauce.

IF I say so myself, I make amazing coq au vin, spaghetti and meatballs, and perogies. The key to the first two is cooking as slowly on as low heat as possible... perogies is just hard work!

I agree with cheffy, guys, would any of you be willing to share your recipes?
redmon4 at 8:46AM on 08/04/07
I think Serious Eats should add a special link for reader recipes. Many of the above are adaptations of a published recipe, so the changes could be noted and a link provided. For those precious heirloom recipes, the reader could (if willing) type out the whole thing. I think it would be a very popular corner to an already popular website!
My contribution would be a paella recipe that includes marinading the chicken in garlic, olive oil and cumin before sauteeing for the final compilation, and using white wine as part of the liquid. I got the recipe from a family member, but she no doubt got it from some print source.
Teachertalk at 10:39AM on 08/04/07
Teachertalk, that's an excellent suggestion! It would be so nice to just have a special spot here to share/exchange recipes, tips, hints...maybe have it categorized i.e. breads, soups, veges, salads, sauces etc. etc. That would really make sense! I love the idea of heirloom recipes especially...there are so many 'home-cook' recipes passed down through generations that are absolutely priceless and would be so nice to keep 'alive' on the internet for others to love and enjoy and pass down as well. :)

And I want to nominate cheffy as the most enthusiastic new member of Serious Eats! I love all your comments, and your list of low-carb suggestions has made me want to change all my food habits. Thanks for your contributions.
Teachertalk at 12:47PM on 08/04/07
Awww shucks, Teachertalk! *wee-tear* You made my soul happy with that generous and kindly post. You made my heart smile as well. TY! If I died today I'd have a HUGE grin on my face! :)
--I would really love to see this web/blog-site give us some options for organized sharing of recipes and tips and whatnot...I think that would be dreamy... :D
cheffy at 1:23PM on 08/04/07
Albondigas soup -- well, actually, dozens and dozens of soups, because they're among my most favorite-ist dishes! But the Albondigas gets tons of requests.
Authentic, purist-style Mexican guacamole.
Lots of others, too... let me think...
LoCo at 1:33PM on 08/04/07
Guacamole is one of the most-requested things I make, as well. Interesting how many of us have that in common!
Otherwise, I make insanely delicious molasses cookies and apple pie.

My smokey chipotle salsa rocks.

@cheffy - I agree with your suggestions for reader recipes links... how 'bout sharing that awesome lime-dill tartar sauce recipe with us? :)
hotsaucedaily at 11:06AM on 08/05/07
Here you go, hotsaucedaily (I shared it on the low-carb thread so I'm copy-pasting it here for you). -Love your nickname btw! :D
Oh! And a great 'fish' topper for your grilled/seared fish of choice is my Lime & dill tartar sauce:
Light mayo
Light sour cream
Fresh or dry dill (to taste)
2 limes juiced w/ zest Sugar OR Splenda (to taste)
Kosher salt
Diced sweet onion (adds a nice crunch and flavor)
Green Tobasco sauce (to taste)
If you don't like Green Tobasco sauce (*gulp*) you can substitute horseradish...or keep it without either but I like a bit of a 'kick' and the green tobasco really makes that sauce stand up and sing.
Then...just mix and serve next to or on top of your fishies! =0)

Pancakes, corn muffins, spaghetti carbonara.
