The Search Begins

Back in January 2008, when I made my 101 list, I decided that I wanted cooking to feature on the list in some way.  I really enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes but like most people, I tend not to do it very often.  Well that was all about to change in the form of item number 49, which read:

49.  Find my signature dish.

I wasn't quite sure how I was going to go about this task. Sure there were a number of recipes that I enjoyed and that got good reviews from family and friends but did narrowing down one of those recipes really equal finding my signature dish?  Somehow I didn't think so and so I thought about what I could do to achieve the task.  

Fast-forward one year and I once again was thinking about cooking more often and decided to have a go at cooking more and finding my signature dish via cooking many recipes - some new, some old - and ranking them.  Towards the end of the project, the top highest scoring meals would be competed against each other and tested out on family and friends to confirm the top favourite and this would then earn the award of being my signature dish.

And that is how we find ourselves at day zero of the search for my signature dish.

Wish me luck!
