I'm a stay at home person and my SO recently mumbled something about wanting to eat some really good, expensive food. I'm great at cooking. People love my food and tell me it looks and tastes just as good as at a fine restaurant. So, I would like to start preparing something special for dinner, nationality not important. Since I don't work we don't have enough money to spend $50 per plate everynight, but we do have enough to cover good ingredients.

I'm looking for soups, breakfast items, meat, dinner items, appetizers, fruit plates, desserts...anything. I want to start doing this on a regular basis for dinner during the week and breakfast, dinner, supper on the weekends.

I'm also very, very interested in good pie recipes, especially berry pies.

French, Spanish, Brazilian,Middle eastern, Indian....anything welcome as long as its top notch food that would often cost an arm and a leg if done at a good restaurant. He's open to any national food, no restrictions.

(Does anyone have a good kebab recipe? , he loves it and hasn't had any since our last trip to Europe two years ago)

Or anything really good you make at home that tastes great.

Please help. Any advice will be highly appreciated.
 
thanks, that's awesome and I'm definitely gonna try them. I was leaning towards french food since it's so expensive at a restaurant.

Some of the best food I've eaten has not been expensive at all.

Cambodia street food, yum yum yum! :)
 
^not always true. you can spend a lot getting good cuts of meat or fresh seafood. not as much as top restaurants charge, but still a pretty hefty sum. i spent about $50 to make grilled swordfish and asparagus the other day.

check out the recipe thread for tons of tasty recipes :)
 
I love the eating out in expensive restaurant scenario, it's lovely to treat yourself but you can have great, tasty food without breaking the bank.
 
My dad has started and ran 3 very successful restaurants I of course HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend his cuisine!

Since there are no good mexican restaurants out here my husband and I often try to replicate some of his dishes. Its seriously amazing.

Best meal Ever, somewhere in South Africa, near the Drakensburg. circa 1999.

massive tenderloin of beef with a rosemary and (insert soft, creamy cheese) pocket in the center. It was cooked to perfection. I could have used a spoon and my tongue to finish this meal. Sides were good, but unremarkable ten years later. The steak itself will be hard to forget, ever. The wine was good, memorable but not specific anymore.

Sushi, @ Zen in Bangkok, is a close second. It's not fully traditional Japanese, but it's not bastardized american sushi either. All the fish at the BKK location comes fresh daily from Japan. It's great sushi, and I haven't had better outside of Japan. Jammy can attest to the quality of this meal.
 
My best and most expensive meal was about 6 hours ago actually.

Me and my girl friend had the house's speciality,

in this order:

biggest prawns i've ever saw with my own eyes
a very nice salad with delicious dressings
bread still warm from the oven

Then came the best part. I didnt think much of it at the moment but when I came back and did a little search I found out why the main course was so good and exceptional.

A generous portion of braised australian salt bush lamb rack, served with fresh vegetables and a baked potatoe

That meal for 2 plus a 35$ bottle of wine and a 15% service charge just made my wallet weight 120$ less

It was worth every penny of it
 
I just ate the best fucking sandwich in the entire galaxy of the universe in existence.

toasted oven baked home made bread with miniature oat flakes//miracle whip with mixed in jalapenos and tapatio hot sauce//iceberg lettuce cooled to 70 degree room temp with sun tried roma tomatoes and parmesean cheese//the contents were also sun tried tomato fire roasted turket with pepper jack cheese melted over caramalized onions//as well as fire roasted honey ham between it cut with an olive stick in the middle.//

It was like rolling mdma for the first time.

Truthfully, it made my mouth explode to where I couldn't fucking talk

It's like a god came down from wherever and slapped me in the face and said "where in the hell have you been in your life you dumbass".
