The Cooking Date
Got a super fun, super delicious date idea for you this week! So dust off those cookbooks, clean up those pans and load up on paprika, because we’re cooking.
The Date
With the right mentality, a simple task like cooking can become a date in itself. Just picture this: you and your significant other spot a delicious looking dish in a magazine, on Pinterest etc, and decide you’re gonna make it yourself. You two get the ingredients, put on some music and cook away! And its actually a lot of fun cooking together I'm not gonna lie. In fact, you could just stop reading here because cooking on its own would make a great story, especially if it turned out really good (or really bad). Just follow everything in “The Pizza Date” but substitute pizza for whatever you're making. However, I hear you want something a little more on the wild side. Well I got an idea just for you.
Hell’s Kitchen
So this is my idea to flip cooking on its head. To start off, your significant other is going to give you a picture of a delicious meal. Thats it, just 1 legible picture of the meals entirety (it has to be a fair photo though). After that's done, the outcome is in your hands. You are now the head chef of the Dates101 restaurant, and your partner is the sous-chef. Based on the photo you received, you're going to try and recreate said meal as perfectly as you can. Meaning, you come up with the recipe (or find it online), you get the ingredients (with your partner there of course) and you are in charge of cooking the meal (your partner is also there to help but you must tell them what to do). The whole dish is in your complete control, so if you mess up its kinda on your head. BUT with that being said, it makes this idea super fun and unique because for all we know your partner could be an expert in making this dish, but isn't allowed to help because they are not in charge. There is a very high chance that your partner starts bursting out laughing because you're making them cut onions the wrong way! But that's all in the fun of it, because its your kitchen, and everything is done your way. If the meal is a success you can gloat till your hearts content, but if it’s a complete disaster, at least you got a really great memory out of it.
Wrap Up
Regardless of the outcome, its your partners turn to be head chef next time, so if they gave you an incredibly hard dish to create, nows your chance for revenge! Or go easy on them, its your choice. Either way, you're going to have a blast being in charge, as well as seeing your significant other in charge. No pressure, Gordon Ramsay.
Remember, make every date a story.
