Many guys still believe that they don't need to learn to cook because it's a woman's thing. That is a closed-minded way of thinking and it really limits you. Seriously guys, if you know how to cook just one or two meals, and cook them well, you have no idea the power to impress that you hold in your hands. Gourmet doesn't have to involve all kinds of cooking techniques you can't even spell or pronounce. It's quite easy to make a very simple, yet elegant and tasty meal that will impress the panties off of any woman.

When I really trust a guy, one of my favorite date ideas is to go to his house and watch him cook while we sip wine. It's so much nicer than going out, because you are alone, in an intimate setting. You can light some candles, drink wine, and get to know each other. If a man can cook, he doubles in value, to be honest, because I LOVE good food that I don't have to cook myself every so often.

Just a few things you should be sure to have on hand:

A big pot with lid.

A small pot with lid.

A large skillet with lid.

A good spatula, wooden spoons, pasta utensil, ladle, and BBQ utensils.

A cheese grater.

A colander (to drain noodles).

A chopping board.

A mixing bowl.

And some food stuff to always have handy:

J. Lee Roy's Cookin Seasonings.

Garlic Salt.

Pasta.

Frozen veggies (broccoli, green beans, corn, etc).

Parmesan Cheese.

Eggs.

Pepper Jack Cheese.

Sour Cream.

You get the idea. I'll be releasing a cook book for guys who don't cook soon. It will have lots of very simple, tasty, gourmet-like meals meant to impress, with little skill, and even on a low budget. If you know what you're doing, cooking for your date can save money, too.

Boys, put on your aprons and break out a new skill. Cooking. It's not just for chicks. Good food can be the way to our hearts, too, you know!

By the way, my first book has been published, finally, if you are interested. It's called The Insider's Secrets to Dating Beautiful Women, available for 6.99 at the Amazon book market in Kindle format.
