I notice people who really love sex and sensation, really love food.

A post by another lady who has cooked for her patrons reminded me of all the lovely meals shared with my playmates.

Those are often the most enjoyable dates I experience, low key and intimate. Unfortunately, the opportunity to cook each other dinner is pretty rare.

Usually this is a pleasure I can only enjoy with gentlemen who live alone. I have also been fortunate enough to escape to cottages which allows us to share our personal culinary creations. I particularly enjoy staying at B&B's when traveling with my suitors, they often come with full kitchens. At the very least we can enjoy a comfortable breakfast in the nude.

I'm really looking forward to spending a night by a camp fire with a date, cooking potatoes in the coals and meat over the fire.

Some guys are really great cooks, and they take an enormous amount of pride in their creations. It seems to be part of the pleasure they take in stimulating my senses.  

They've made me everything from sausages in the fireplace to pan-seared foie gras with figs.  I remember a man that made Bruschetta so good I dream about it today.  In fact, a few gents have left me humbled and embarrassed to cook for them in return.  I cook like my grandmother, the kind of food you expect at a rural home - comfort food, that's what I grew up on.

I have such fond memories of hunting down the best ingredients together, preparing our meal together, enjoying it and ignoring the dishes to focus on each other.

In fact one of my favorite memories was one a 4some date (3 girls and a gent). Two of us made dinner, the third lady baked a cake.  He enjoyed the spoiling immensely.

It's been a lot of fun sharing our favorite recipes, learning things from them, a sweet way to bond, share information about our cultures and stories from our childhoods.  I really like preparing the dishes gents teach me for people in my private life, always served with a secret little smile and a fond memory.

I make a home-cooked meal and we have adult playtime afterwards (or before, during, and after...if he so desires!)   I've only had the pleasure of doing this for a few of my gentlemen friends but home to do it more often.  They are some of my most favorite dates ever!   I love to cook, I love my kitchen, I love men! , I love sex....so to combine all at one time is just a joy and a true gift!  

Hugs, Belinda

I wish I could share my recently re-modelled kitchen with a lass who would appreciate it....

Hickory flooring and cabinetry, soapstone countertops, Spanish glass tile....My handmade Japanese knives....Mauviel hanging everywhere...

My personal culinary temple.

I am most familiar with Italian, nobody makes a better Risotto than me, My Osso Buco is delectable as well.

I'm versed in Southwestern (I'm a total fire-eater!) , some Portuguese, I LOVE Thai..... I'm fond of New England cookery, I make a bitchin' steak..... Latino food..I do some Bisto dishes....including a ridiculously tasty Bouillebaisse (the secret is in the rouille!)..... I haven't gotten around to indian cuisine yet, without a Tandoor oven it is extremely difficult to execute the meat and breads....

Being a muso what I love most about cookery is that it stimulates a great many of the same senses of satisfaction.....

Composition, harmony, contrast, performance, and sharing with others....less demanding of the hands!

I don't recommend sauteeing naked though. I was doing the hot oil splatter dance a few nights ago while making Chicken Scarpariello!

Still have the burns! (Too much vino...)

I loveeeeeeee to cook as well. I can cook almost anything. I don't eat beef or pork and don't eat a lot of the by products of beef or pork. I do know how to cook beef or pork very well though.

I think I can sit and watch the food network for hours and be engrossed in the shows.

My favorite thing on earth to cook is African American Soul Food..........Big Momma said: Allure` you cook the best mixed greens on the planet. Big Momma had no idea I use no pork, almost no salt, and I only cooked the greens for 30 minutes.

She didn't know everything on my table was organic, I used no cows milk, the "sour cream" was plain vanilla organic yogurt......the "fried cat fish" was oven baked.....the yams had natural sugar in them and no butter....the mac and cheese...cheese was all goat cheeses. I think she noticed the corn bread was dark.....buckwheat is a beautiful thing! The Funny Looking Koolaide.....was carrot juice straight from my juicer.

I never told her.......................

and are really great at it.
2 are professional chefs one owns a restaurant and also is a chef as well.
Its some of the best meals I have ever had.
I would think about cooking for a dinner date if I had a steady incall but I don't. I have done picnic lunch dates that can be great fun. I have also done late night beach bon fire cook outs with a client but that was more of a joint effort but it is fun as well.
I have a Gentlemen who loves to fish, so do I we cook the catch afterwards. Its great.
It is what you make it.

You two have totally peaked my curiosity. I can't get the thought out of my mind. It would be so much fun!

It takes a lot of chutzpah to substitute unorthodox ingredients in classic ethnic fare....

I love soul food..... Very robust yet simple.

The best food has always been created by those with the least financial means...

I make a mean "depression" italian ragu...... Learned how to make it by watching my Great-Grandmother cook it.

Amazing.... God bless her...tood sauce!

I recently moved into a place with a spacious back porch, so making one of these bad boys is on my to do list. (I make a lot of Indian food, all the way down to roasting and hand grinding my spices with a mortar and pestle.) If any of you foodies takes a crack at making this thing, please do let me know!

Bra, I live in NM. Mama taught me!

The most memorable experiences involve all the senses. I love a date which allows the time for cooking together if she's up for it.

Ditto to what Primus said about music and food. It takes some practice and attention to detail to get dishes or music right.

Curried tofu and veggies over brown rice
Collard greens
Sweet potatoes cooked with some butter and brown sugar

A good beer that's not too hoppy or a wine that can stand up to the curry.

Fresh strawberries with whipped cream and chocolate/bourbon sauce.

Man, IMHO that's a sensual meal and a GREAT warmup. After the meal, put on some Al Green and Massive Attack. MMMmmmmmm

I've been making my own for years now, and one of the lovely things about Chicago is both the access to sashimi grade fish and a wide variety of Japanese groceries. I really enjoy offering this experience to the few special men I'll consider overnights with because, while it is a bit of a time consuming process, it really allows even the least culinary talented to engage his inner child in a bit of kitchen play. There's something really fulfilling about taking a seemingly inapproachable activity (like "cooking" more broadly, or simply "sushi" with the somewhat more kitchen inclined individuals), and seeing the gentleman's face light up with an "oh wow, I can totally do this!" sort of expression.

The best food came from the people with the least to work with.

The people that 'came over', whatever circumstances.

They took the shit that the, I don't know, upperclass wouldn't touch, and made wonders.

Don't get me wrong. I love a great steak and shit. But all this convulated crap they serve us in a resort with a high price, small portions, pisses me off.

Give me a nice, tender steak, smothered in green chile and cheese, enchiladas, a chile relleno or two, with mama's pinto beans and tia Yvonne's rice?! Ohhhhh!!!! Sorry ladies! You got some competition!

prefer sashimi. Living in LA is great for great sashimi grade fish. Now I know who to see if I get to Chicago.

and I can make it for you in LA. You buy the ingredients, I'll wear the apron and heels.

On the steak.....a nice Columbian "Aji" which is like a pico de gallo except you use habeneros. Blow yer head off. Absolutely nothing is better with grilled meats then chilis.

I make a MEAN New Mexico green chili with pork, smoked and fresh chili,  and tomatillos. Hatch chilis of course.

We talk, we fuck, we cook, we bath together. Not necessarily in that order. But cooking is a lot of fun, usually in bath robes, nothing complicated or difficult. Just a fun relaxing day at my house.

Best friend in the service is from Los Cruces.... I got a great crash course.

The italian knack comes from three generations of women, great grandma, grandma and ma!

You know what they say about Italy right?

"Cooks are trained in France but Chefs are born in Italy".

I love chili's. That endorphin rush is the best. The Thai understand it very well...

You strike on something much deeper here as well, that is play.

Play without a care in the world and re-discovering what it means just to feel and enjoy.

As barbaric as it may seem, you need to go fishing for some game tuna, haul the fish in, slaughter it and eat.

Magnificent.

and there's nothing I enjoy more than having someone over for a home cooked meal.

Lasagna is my signature dish, but I have done fish and roast chicken as well.

The last time I cooked for someone, we had desert in the shower, literally.  Our bodies were the plates and our tongues the utensils.

Now that was a lot of fun.

I took a few courses in it along the way, and read about it as well.

In civie dating; I discovered having a lady over for a dinner I had prepared to be a real deal-clincher that turned the slightly ambivalent into the seriously enthusiastic.

I'd set the mood -- low lighting, soft music, delicious food and my apparent interest in pleasing her with food-only; and you could almost see all the gears for a night of rollicking sex -- initiated by her -- falling into place.

At that point the key was to make sure she didn't also discover that I like kids and puppies. LOL

Some of the ladies I had over for dinner are still good friends.

I used to go fishing with my grandfather before he passed on. Hell, part of my 5 year plan includes learning how to bow hunt. I figure my food comes from somewhere, and if I can't handle the reality of that fact first hand, I probably shouldn't be eating meat in the first place. There's also the simple awareness that we are all tied to the land. It's not "play" exactly, but that sort of reminder does tend to help us release those so-called "adult" day to day BS priorities that have such a stranglehold on both our happiness and our inner child.

I'll leave the game tuna hunts to you though-with my wee little frame, I think the fish would win!

Yep! Did that down in La Paz, Baja, MX. Went out in the Sea of Cortez, caught some Yellow Fin, brought it back to the beach, broke out the knives and Soy sauce and had tuna sashimi and Duos Equis for supper. Great memories. And, when you get back to the hotel they will save some, and cook it up for any of your meals, upon request.

You have a good point about the tuna fishing. Having done so in Baja MX, in a small boat in the Sea of Cortez, and hooking into a 48 lbs. Yellow Fin, fighting it for about 45 minutes, contemplating cutting the line, it's not a lot of fun. But, some smaller Yellow Tail could be fun to catch.

As far a being not being able to handle where my meal is coming from, having worked a lot on ranches and farms, growing up, I stay away from eating pork, lamb and veal, and eat very little beef.

I am a VEGAN! What would you prepare for me?

omelettes with mimosas....

Cooking is something I really enjoy, and I've been able to scrape together some pretty good meals with some lady friends.

My favorite was with a six-hour date with two ladies who are both self-admittedly burdened with culinary aversions....I watch them play together (and got into the action myself) while I prepared a hearty Italian dish for the three of us....

And people, trust my ass. I've had mrfisher's lasagna. Sent all the way from Boston to my doorstep!

It was the shit!

I was supposed to share it with a wonderful lady, but logistics didn't call for it. So, I feasted!

I actually heated it up, with a nice bottle of red, and made a pig out of myself!  

Toldya! I'm a selfish sonofabitch!

I have said, I'm directionally challenged and that included within the kitchen.  But I like how your two friends said it best, "burden with culinary aversions".  Sounds more hip and edgeyier(?).  If that wasnt a word before, it is now, at least the land of Jaycee it is.

Funny thing happened, over on the Sports board, and it appears, I cant just "buy" my way out of it...

A night with Ciara. Then her for breakfast, I mean her breakfast!

the recepie for the white chocolate chip macademia nut cookies; now you need to practice baking until you have perfected them.

After cookies, we will enjoy the other dessert.
