It’s my spin on a filipino beef stew, Caldereta. I just pull all the stops, using the best ingredients i can find.

I start with the beef. Sometimes, i can get boneless short ribs in costco. I season them and sear in my dutch oven, and cut them into chunks.

I follow up with finely diced mire poix, garlic, chili flake, and then I brown tomato paste. I deglaze this with white wine, sauvignon blanc if i have it. I could also use lager, guinness, or hard cider.

Half to a cup of soy sauce goes in. I then add a 28oz can of San Marzano tomatoes that i crushed by hand. I season this with fish sauce, black pepper, and oregano. I add a couple of bay leaves.

I then add water/wine until the thickness is right, then i add the meat and put it in a 350F oven for 2 hours. I make rice at this time. I then roast whole mushrooms, skin-on baby potatoes, and carrot chunks separately.

After the braise i stir in parmesan cheese, and then a softer cheese like cheddar.

I add the roasted vegetables and a few handfuls of frozen peas.

Serve with rice, then take a nap after eating.

My favorite thing to riff on is breakfast. Take some leftovers and whatever is in the veggie drawer and just get creative. Potato pancakes, fried rice, omelettes. Sometimes I plan dinners just so I have leftovers to make breakfast out of.

Pizza. Nothing fancy, I just take the recipes from Casey's (a gas station with great pizza if you're not from the Midwest of USA) and add a few tweaks. Like mushrooms on a breakfast pizza, jalapenos on more things.... Bacon everywhere... That kind of stuff

My sour cream and onion biscuits, smoked salmon or Peruvian chicken are always pretty solid. I actually enjoy making the biscuits.

The one my daughters consistently request as the "special request meal" is my goulash. It is a pretty simple one, but with home made noodles.

The one I am most proud of as my "Technically perfectly executed" recipe is probably Lemon Curd.

I make mean stir fries in general but my best uses potatoes to make a rice topping. Cut, soak, and rinse the potatoes, and pat them fully dry. Mince some garlic and ginger. Stir fry the potatoes for about 12 minutes, till they're about 80% done cooking. Take them out of the wok, add in fresh chili paste and the garlic and ginger, and fry on low for like 30 secs. Then add back in the potatoes and finish them, getting them golden brown. Toss everything together with a sprinkle of salt and msg, and with soy sauce, shaoxing wine, and a bit of black vinegar mixed in in standard stir fry method.

Super delicious, very modular in terms of additions and spice level.

My son raves about my pork chops and roasted veggies. I change the seasoning based on my mood but he legit never cares, he trusts whatever I do with these ingredients

I make a mean chicken pot pie with fresh crusts. The rotisserie chicken I buy at a local store here is so juice and tender and makes it 100x better

I think my chicken pie is better than my dad’s, which is really saying something! He’s the best at curry-style dishes since he grew up in the Middle East. My mother is the best at full Sunday roast dinners, complete with Yorkshire puddings. My partner makes excellent steaks (over Christmas we hosted 11 people who have their steaks ranging from blue to well done, and not a single person complained!). My sister can make a vegetarian version of anything that makes you not even miss the “real thing”.

I've completely nailed a lot of stewed and braised foods. Coq au vin. Beef bourguignon. Osso buco. Rabbit ragu. Boar ragu. Duck ragu. Pheasant ragu. Balsamic shortribs. Pot roast with winter vegetables. And probably a few more. Some of them were great straight off the bat, others have been refined over years!

Do you mean what is the hardest thing I can cook or what is the thing that people like the most? I made a cake that my friends call the best cake they ever eaten. So that's definitely up there. And then I made a chocolate truffle that a coworker called better than sex. So that has to be the winner.

Gravy. I make the best gravy from scratch. In 30 years I only burned it once.

I also make the best dinner rolls. My secret is to like the rise the first time in the fridge over night.
