Looking for date ideas to share with your partner? One idea is to plan a romantic cooking adventure. It will allow you both to learn different kinds of cuisines, give you a project to collaborate on, and it will be a lot of fun! Keep your camera close by because you’ll want to add these memories to your web photo album.
How to Set Up the Date
You will need a few days during the week to complete your adventure. Scheduling it for every Monday and Wednesday, or every Saturday puts it on your calendar and makes it something to look forward to. On that night, you'll learn together how to cook one or two dishes from a specific kind of cuisine. One night could be sushi rolling or another night could be making fresh pasta from scratch. The basic idea is to select new meals that neither of you know how to make and learn it together.
You’re sure to have a lot of good (or maybe not so good!) food, laughter, and fun. You can take pictures while you’re cooking and after to remember the night. Create a special web photo album to store all the images from these evenings. You may want to include links to or typed directions of the recipes you used.
Who’s The Boss?
For each evening designate who will be the lead chef and who is the sous chef. This can create an interesting dynamic for couples. One day one person is in charge and the next, the tables are turned! Having this division also helps keep things moving along. The job of the lead chef is to make most of the decisions like choosing the recipes, deciding where and which ingredients to buy, and direction in the kitchen. While the sous chef assists the chef in every step along the way.
Getting Started
Before embarking on this challenge make a list of the different dishes that you've both always loved but never thought you could learn how to cook. Maybe you’ve always loved French food but making sauces is just overwhelming. You may have cast aside the thought of ever learning! Taking the time to learn together will show you what you’re capable of alone and as a couple.
If you’re feeling like you’re not ready to try making things alone, look for local cooking classes that you both can enroll in. There are also a lot of YouTube videos that can walk you through recipes. Most importantly don’t be afraid to try!
Open Your Doors and Your Table
After you’ve mastered a few recipes together and are confident with your skills why not invite over others to join the fun. Invite others to cook with you and turn the cooking nights into a small gathering with friends. Or you could simply invite friends or family over for a dinner party to showcase your new skills. This can be an even bigger challenge for you as a couple.
