I know that normally food tastes better when it's prepared for you (unless you're like a professional chef yourself), which kind of makes sense, since whem you're making the food you're taking in all those aromas before you even start eating, so you don't really get the same experience as the person you're serving.
But do you guys have that one meal that you just have to make on your own because when you eat it in a restaurant for example, it still tastes good, but it's still not quite it?
For me, it's lasagne a la bolognese. It's actually a vegetarian version, because I use soy beans instead of minced meat, but it actually tastes like meat. And it's just so good and I have no idea what I'm doing to make it taste so good, but obviously I'm doing something amazingly. I just don't know what it is. Huh.
