beef lasagna
Lasagna is a traditional Italian dish of pasta sheets, layered with bolognaise sauce and topped with béchamel sauce and grated cheese. The bolognaise should be a little wetter for lasagna than spaghetti bolognaise, as the pasta sheets need to soak up some of the liquid to cook.
Variations on this dish include vegetarian lasagna, featuring various coloured layers of pumpkin, tomato, mushrooms and spinach, and my signature dish, seafood lasagna. Both of these variations will also be featured on this site shortly.

If you are really trying to impress, Lobster Mornay is not hard to make and guaranteed to please. A whole cooked lobster will cost 15 or 20 dollars, plus cheese, milk, salad and a few crusty rolls might total 30 dollars. That is only 15 dollars a head for a restaurant quality meal.

Although this famous dish is referred to as Lobster Mornay, a crayfish may be substituted. I have used a 590g Western Rock Lobster which was already cooked. A raw lobster can be used but must be grilled a little longer
