How to cook dinner for your date
Offering to make dinner can be a daunting affair and planning is
essential if things are to go well. The first mistake people make
is in trying to be too impressive.

Don't try to experiment on a new dish unless you are prepared to
practice - everyone remembers Bridget Jones and her blue string
soup! A girlfriend nearly killed someone with the hottest green
chicken curry on record!
Set your table with style - napkins, flowers, decent cutlery and
glasses. The music you select should be a shared taste and muted.
Probably not too much Sade - soft rock, jazz or gentle ambient would
be perfect sounds.
And a kitchen that looks like it has been hit by a missile doesn't
instill confidence.
Go for a simple fresh starter, a main course that is not too heavy
and an interesting desert, with an alternative of cheese and fruit.
Your efforts will be highly appreciated. You also want to spend
time with your date, so when your date arrives you should be able
to produce the masterpiece without having to act like a demented
chemist.
You may want to try and relax before your date arrives too so do
pour yourself a glass of wine and get the music on.
Choose a selection of red and white wines as well as anything you
know your date likes to drink and also some good quality mineral
water that you can serve chilled at the table.
Never ever pretend that you are a better chef than you are as this
will become clear in the first moments of the first course that
you aren't. Be confident and enjoy, take your time and don't rush,
remember you have spent hours over this ...
In summary, you should offer to cook for your date and you should
prepare carefully. While not every time you eat together in future
may be on the same level of effort, this occasion will be well remembered.
You are at a crucial stage in your developing relationship and so
why not make the most of it. Even better, it is their turn to cook
next.
Happy dining!
