Doesn't necessarily have to be the most difficult dish you can think of. What's a dish you've always thought of as a little harder than a cook would attempt to make-something reserved for chefs?

1. Puff pastry from scratch. This stuff is so temperamental -- without the right equipment, environment, and experience, it just turns to pie crust.
2. Aoli and Mayonnaise: sure, you can make them at home, but chefs seem to have better luck.
3. Duck confit: Does even the best home cook keep a gallon of duck fat in the fridge?!

Hmm... I guess another way to think of this is what is something you can get at a good restaurant that you can't get at a cafeteria...
1. Creme Brulee
2. Anything with a demi glace
3. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall (http://chinesefood.about.com/library/blrecipe078.htm)

Salmon Koulibiac,
