When you really want to make something good for friends to eat at your home, what do you cook?

Question

Is it comfort food? Or something more on the impressive side?

Answer 1

I toss 'em packages of ramen noodles and holler boil yer own water, dammit. If ya want dessert, there's a Dairy Queen down the street, you lazy phuques.

Answer 2

Definitely comfort food, but kicked up with fresh herbs and tasty spices. I love making lasagna with fresh veggies and herbs in the sauce, accompanied by a fresh salad and homemade bread. For the summer, we love grilling burgers that we've made with herbs and spices. Usually we serve marinated grilled veggies on the side.

Answer 3

Jambalya ( Zatarins Mix ) add chorizo and shrimp in, some corn on the cob and Cold Beer easy, fast, cheap and good, you might add shooters of Quervo w/lime to really impress them, watch there driving ,you are the host

Answer 4

I also love cooking for friends. I always prepare their favorite:

Spicy Beef Stew
Chicken & Macaroni Soup
Barbecued Milkfish stuffed with tomatoes, onions, & chilies
Creme Caramel for dessert

Just simple food nothing fancy. I'll give you the recipe one day.

Answer 5

I usually put out a lot of appetizers and desserts . It just feels more relaxed to me to let my guests pick and sample with a cocktail in hand. Chocolate fondue with strawberries is really fun.
But if it must be a sit down meal, enchiladas are always on my list.
