my apple crumble. The secret is huge amounts of butter and sugar ^^

Used to be my rosemary black pepper bread, but now I guess clafouti. Both totally easy, makes me feel like I'm cheating. ;)

Since I made it last easter it has to be the Nick Malgieri coconut raspberry cake from his book Perfect Cakes. This cake is soooo good Dorie Greenspan included it in her book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. I have also made it with lemon curd in place of the raspberry.
Dorie says in her book that Nick and she are good friends. A friend with cake is a friend indeed.
Thanksgiving will have it here again by popular request.
For those who are home bakers who do not know of Nick and Dorie (contributor to SE) get to know them they are truely great talents.

Cheese cakes!! while I love to "bake" just about anything, I'm most known for my cheese cakes...plain, pralines & carmel, chocolate, candy bar, strawberry, peaches & cream, chocolate fudge ripple, but my fav is just plain crustless cheesecake. I take loving pride in using only the best ingredients. Baking for me is my creative outlet, it also helped me keep the lights on during nursing school...(and never paid a tutor in cash..lol). Even tho my cakes and my cookies are greatly received..it is my cheese cakes that everyone request..

I do okay with desserts, but the two requested recipes are a seafood salad made with crab, shrimp and buttered bread cubes. Not diet food, but I only make it a few times a year and a tomato aspic that disappears pretty fast. It's loaded with crunchy vegetables and the gelatin is only to hold them together

Macaroni and cheese - with lots of cheddar and a few dashes of Chipotle tobasco.
and
Brownies. I use Nigella's recipe and then throw in a few extras like either Bailey's or coffee liquor and ground coffee. I also use walnuts instead of the white chocolate chips (or buttons, to her).

Well, not terribly dramatic, but I am constantly asked to make my guacamole and to share the recipe. It's such a simple thing, with really no mystery. I'm always astonished at how people rave about it.
Besides that, it's got to be soups. Definitely my signature dish. I have some specialties -- albondigas, tomato, etc. -- but mostly I'm just known for big pots of yummy soup.
For summer potlucks and cookouts I get lots of requests for my big elaborate salads with a bazillion ingredients.

Hmm, I guess my brownies, roast beef, and chicken in sour cream sauce (not all together!)

freshly caught redfish on the grill, it's actually an easy dish, i cut the fish in half,debone it but leave the scales on. it's then put on the grill scales side down, after about 15 minutes the meat lifts easily out of the scales.
also have lots of requests for shrimp/okra/andouille gumbo and slow smoked baby back ribs/brisket/chicken or pork shoulder.
my sons are both Marines that spent time in iraq, when they came back from the holy land, all they wanted was PORK and nothing but PORK, terrorists don't want pork in their countries.

I don't have a 'bring this or die' dish, but my mom is not allowed into the houses of several cousins without one of her pecan pies. "If Annie isn't bringing pecan pie she doesn't need to come." is the battle cry. And I think they're serious....

When I was a teenager, I was asked (or forced) to bring mexican seven layer dip to just about everything. It was my mom's recipe, and used sour cream mixed with a packet of taco seasoning for the sour cream layer, so it was different than what you buy at the store.
Nowadays, I'd say it's a toss up between my triple lemon cupcakes (which I usually just make at easter) and my brownies, which are actually Martha's. :)
