Cooking Your Way Into Her Heart With Home-Cooked Meals

Whoever said the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach might have been a hungry man.

And it’s probably true. Back in the 18th century, men used to work all day out in the field and earn a living wage while women stayed at home to look after the children.

At the end of the day, these tired and hungry men would come home and their wives would prepare for them a hot meal. This practice continued on into the 90s when wives were fully expected to play their part.

Today, this would be considered politically incorrect and sexist. Although some women might still cook meals for their partners, it isn’t necessarily a prerequisite in every romantic relationship.

In fact, gender roles have become so flexible that some men cook dinner meals for their partners.

According to an online article from Daily Mail, “women are significantly more responsive to romantic stimuli after a meal.”

Are you trying to impress a girl you like? If you’re out of ideas, then preparing a home-cooked meal from scratch might do the trick.

Keep it simple but classy.

Start with a simple meal like a good steak. Maybe add some mashed potatoes and some vegetables. There are several recipe variations you can find online.

Choose which one you prefer doing and practice until you’ve mastered the recipe.

Pasta recipes are also simple and easy to cook yet are versatile enough to be a classy dish. Even grilled cheese sandwiches can be prepared in a classy style. Just switch regular bread with sourdough bread to give it a good golden crust with a tangy flavor. And use different types of cheese to give it that gooey, cheesy melt.

Learn and cook what she likes

What’s her favorite home-cooked meal? Her comfort food? What about childhood snacks her mom used to make for her?

Keep it in mind the next time you prepare a meal. She’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn how thoughtful you can be around her.

Avoid cheap meals like instant ramen or fast food take-outs. They’re great if you can’t think of anything else but to really impress her, you need to put in some quality effort.

Explore new recipes

There are so many free recipes online you can try out together. So many different kinds of international cuisines to taste and enjoy.

Use this as an opportunity to bring your relationship closer and start a tasty journey towards culinary delights.

Furthermore, food exploration might spark travel goals which leads to cultural awareness and personal development.

The most important part is…

Cooking with fresh quality ingredients. They don’t have to be expensive or unique. Check your area if it has a farmer’s market. Local farmers typically sell fresher produce compared to what you find at grocery stores. And are more likely to be healthier.

Additionally, don’t forget the secret ingredient: Love.

In more ways than one, a woman can intuitively tell whether or not romantic feelings are involved. So when she tastes your meal, she could end up catching feelings for you.
