Length of time won't make it too complicated, but it might make it too much effort. Subjective judgment works - you don't always need an objective metric.

Probably the most complicated thing made here has been Heston chips (by my wife, not me). Definitely the most complicated thing that's been made more than once. The most complicated thing that gets made regularly is lasagne.

That's looking at single dishes. Counting a whole dinner, it could any of a number of dinner parties. But then I have help.

Time-consuming to make a lot, but not complicated, IMO. I rarely make (Asian-style filled) dumplings, since it's easy to buy good/adequate frozen ones, adequate (sometimes good!) fast food ones, or eat a whole bunch of good ones at yum cha.
