Third Dates: Cooking Dinner For Two
At some point you could invite to dinner date. This is not just the domain of a woman who I fully expect that men like a lot to offer to make dinner. Remember that romance is in the details, not in grand gestures. Offering to make dinner will not be a scene of the first date, and to invite someone to your house can only occur after a certain level of trust has been established. It offers a dinner at home is an open invitation to have sex however, can and does happen to the environment and the proximity of a bedroom.
No, offering to make dinner can be a daunting affair and planning is essential if things go well. The first mistake that people are trying to be very impressive. Most people can cook something worthwhile if they put their mind to it, but getting pastry expert guide will not win her heart dates unless you know what you are doing.
On this occasion, not experiment with a new dish unless you are willing to practice before the occasion of a friend or two. We have seen how Bridget Jones made the soup with a blue cord and the same disaster that comes to my friend unless you start thinking in advance. If you are alone, when was the last time you offered to cook for friends? It's easy to find in a restaurant and not on the same planet of romance as cooking personally. So if you're single why not for at least a couple of dishes may well prepare now for when the time comes. The benefit of this is that you get a social occasion in the negotiations this week.
The first question we have is to get the correct day. Mid week is fine, but you have the time to prepare adequately? Cooking dinner usually takes a little longer than usual 15-minute meal for the microwave from the store to get your thinking cap on. Maybe Saturday night would be better. After all, is not their first date and the date it is agreed that most of the day to start preparing.
Okay so we agree that passed for a night, which is prepared in time not to panic. The next step is to prepare the ground. Candles are essential, but a room that requires a miner's lamp is not light enough not to make their struggle to find the date of the table. Candles of good quality are keys to long life in it. But avoid scented candles, which can damage the flavor of your kitchen miracle.
The table should be set correctly with perhaps a small vase of flowers and, of course, napkins and silverware and glasses decent. You must be seated in time and not one side or the same side, because I'm assuming you want to look at each other across a table by candlelight. The music you select should be a pleasure to share, but very soft background for not intervening in the conversation, but enough to fill the pauses in conversation, when they occur. Classical, jazz and ambient sounds are soft perfect.
Make sure your kitchen and floor are organized, clean and tidy and always clean while preparing food. A kitchen that seems to have been hit by a missile that does not inspire confidence. Preparation is essential to the date in advance what you do not like the best you can avoid the embarrassment of a meal that someone does not like. A first meal can be stressful for both parties and should not be - to limit the damage in advance is necessary.
Once you know what they like to eat, can not avoid these foods and think about what you can to prepare. Once again we return to the advice of old age that the effect is in the effort. Try not to re-create your favorite dish, because unless you really invite comparison. Nor should we be really adventurous. If you are trying to do something that even a 5 star chef who resist then you are for disaster. You may both laugh at later burned, but that's not the point of the occasion. Something that does not like spaghetti bolognese or pizza imagination is best left out of this equation.
Modern cooking books that show all the cakes fancy fusion cuisine and again are the danger zones for the inexperienced to think carefully. You should go for an easy start again, a main dish that is not too heavy and a desert with an interesting choice of cheese and fruit. You should be able to adapt the food if necessary. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. The food must not exceed the end of the night, which is spending time with them, so when the date arrives you should be able to produce food in their original format without seeming insane, as acts of a chemical.
Most foods can be prepared ahead and just requires heating in the oven or completed, while the date has a glass of wine with you in the kitchen. The kitchen is not so sociable that he / she face the kitchen shouting "too many cooks spoil the broth". On the other hand try not to invite attempts to date to give advice. It must be arranged prior to arrival.
Therefore, make sure you select three dishes you can prepare a dish, main course and sweet dish and do one thing at a time. Some of the dishes to do more than one thing at a time that was ordered and read the recipes in advance to understand what you are doing. When washing the dishes you will feel more in control and can keep the kitchen semi-clean. His dishes complement each other and better yet you might want to work on a topic, such as Mediterranean cuisine, Cajun or something that is of interest to them. Try to avoid spicy unless you are a risk taker.
Always leave a third time to anticipate and more time to prepare before you arrive so that everything is the way you want. You may want to try and relax before the date comes too, so pour yourself a glass of wine and get the music. In anticipation of the night ahead and try to think about things the Fire Department as they arise and prepare in advance.
You may want to make the rounds of friends in the afternoon to help and keep you company while you prepare. That way there is no pressure and that both can work to make sure everything is perfect. Do not guzzle gallons of cooking wine while preparing like being drunk when you get your guest is going to ruin everything.
Choose a selection of reds and whites, and all you know the date likes to drink. They also have some good quality mineral water that can be served cold on the table. Cooking for your date will not be as cheap as I did, but you are trying to make a good impression to invest wisely.
Never pretend you are a chef better than you, as will become clear in the first moments of the first course are not. Also, do not try to offer too much food, three fields are fine. If you are even thinking of getting in an outside caterer or pre-prepared food to pass by his own creation, please leave the room now and not back! Do not start apologizing for your kitchen once both settle in. Be confident and enjoy the occasion. Take your time and do not rush the occasion. A good meal can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours depending on the pace and the conversation between courses.
You may think I'm portraying things too formal. This is because I am mentioning things that you can find. Dinner for two can be a meal on a tray in front of the TV. At the same time can be as formal as you like. But the main thing is to ensure the night is a quiet time, while representing a cooking competition as possible. You will often see couples in restaurants for consumption of food at each other. This is because in nature offers us and show we can, so that feeding others is a natural way to demonstrate our skills in the available sublime.
Eating together is one of the most intensely personal things you can do, is all about sharing and a good way to approach. Food can be a stimulator of large and provides a great sense of occasion. This is possibly due to a dinner for two at home can lead to other things.
In short, you should offer to cook for a date and you should prepare carefully. Although not every time they eat together in the future may be on the same level of effort, this time will be well remembered. You are at a crucial stage in its development of the relationship and why not take full advantage of it. Even better, it's your turn to cook next.
Happy dining!
