I've got a new cooker. The first thing I prepare with it needs to be awesome.
Give me some suggestions.

I have a friend who burned a salad once. it was amusing because she was a really bad cook anyway, and this helped us to mock her.
really she just put a bowl of salad on a hot hob by accident

- Fry off some onions in a deep pan
- Fill up the pan with some milk, about 3/4 of the way.
- Poach some smoked haddock in it
- Add some frozen peas
- Serve on mash with a fried egg on top.

Have the other-half* do the cooking for you, kick back, sip a beer and watch.
*Nude.
(And there better be bacon involved.)

Perhaps a big lump of beef. Seal it in a pan and meanwhile throw onto a baking tray some winter vegetables mixed with garlic, good quality olive oil, and seasoning.
Lay the slab of sealed beef on top, and erm, ovenify until... ready.

For the record I'm not eating anything that has been up your arse.

I just meant normal mash. But as you generally add butter and milk, I guess it is a little naughty.

I generally put white pepper in, but I'm open to suggestions.

Rustic (leave the skins on)

but as much as I love garlic I don't like garlic mash.
I do sweet potato mash with honey, white pepper and coriander.
Cheers for the tips!

It will be different from what you are used to.
Do a beef wellington, and you will ruin it.
I speak from experience.
