A Way to a Woman's Heart ... A Delicious and Romantic Dinner
You don't need to be Gordon Ramsey or Jaime Oliver to please your woman with your culinary skills. As a woman myself, I can vouch for the fact that when a man cooks for us, we don't necessarily stress on either taste or presentation.
The more attractive, romantic, and unbelievable factor is that you cooked, for us. However, you'll definitely get bonus points if the food did taste delicious. Anyway, when you follow the recipe to the T, you can easily get the flavors mixing well.
Choice of Cuisine
Let's start with her favorite food. Go Mexican and serve her enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, or fajitas if she enjoys spicy food. If not, add a romantic touch with Moroccan, Indian, Mediterranean, Chinese, or Thai cuisine.
The point is, this dinner is specially for her. So the menu should center that ideology.
Once you've decided on your cuisine, concentrate on the dishes. Take into account her nutritional requirements and select supper meals appropriately. Pick recipes that are doable for you to prepare; stay away from extremely complicated ones to avoid making blunders.
How many courses of meal are you serving? Depending on that, get a pen and paper to write down the list of ingredients you'll need.
Replace ingredients with something different if they're difficult to locate. Instead than wasting time looking for uncommon items, save your energy for cooking.
For drinks, consider her preferences. Wine, martinis, or cocktails? Choose what she loves to help set the mood for a relaxing and exciting dinner.
Don't Forget the Dessert
Once the main meal has been decided, concentrate on dessert. Give it more thinking if she appreciates it. Desserts must have the perfect texture, flavor, and presentation. Plan carefully to make sure everything is perfect.
Think about making one or two desserts. Having a fallback plan is a wonderful idea in case everything goes wrong, but in the end, go with what she truly loves.
Here's is the dessert plan: Start with a lavish main course such as chocolate lava cake or tiramisu. Enjoy the second dessert on the porch under the moonlight or by the fireplace. Select her preferred pie or cake. There will be twice as much love if both desserts are delicious.
A Romantic Ambiance
Cooking doesn't end here. You need to be careful of the settings as well. Choose a location very carefully because it only enhances the entire dinner experience.
Prepare meals at home and adorn the dining table with rose petals and candles. Imagine spending time with the world's most beautiful woman while holding hands in the twilight and indulging in delectable food you prepared. It's flawless!
Other option can be a wide balcony or backyard where you can be more creative with the decoration. Apart from the candles and flowers, you can go with Christmas lights and a music system, playing her favorite songs.
Cooking is not difficult. Give it everything you've got, and you might surprise your loved one and yourself. Think creatively, carefully consider your menu, and proceed with prudence when preparing food. If you follow the recipe exactly, you will succeed.
