Center of the plate recipes

These main dish recipes have become the cornerstone of my cooking because they're the kind of satisfying centerpiece that makes you feel properly fed and what makes them really special is how they create those memorable meals that people ask for again and again plus they're substantial enough to need nothing more than a simple side dish and I love how they've helped me master those essential cooking skills that make homemade meals feel special every single time and everyone gets excited when they smell these cooking because they know they're in for something really delicious and comforting.
