This is one of my special dates!

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 LOVE to cook.....

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...)

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.

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.

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.

Crab-crusted Mahi on mashed sweet potatoes, brick oven pizza, chicken saltimbocca, brunch time

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....
