[CT_Biker]

Curries are actually the easiest thing under the sun

except half of you make soup or it looks like yellow stew

Ahhh, the classic "dinner at my place" second date.

The one time it really worked (ended up marrying her ) I made two ingredient pizza. The dough can be a bit of a mess BUT she stuck her hands in that bowl as well and it we got messy together

It's not really the quality of the plate of food that matters. A train wreck handled well is much more effective.

They say too many cooks can spoil the broth, is this objectively true?

 

[Herr der Verboten]

... @Ecstatic Universe it is a skill you cultivate, not some song you do few rounds on the guitar to impress your chick. So pick something and git gut at it while you fail a few times. I've been at my gluten free bread for a few times before it just worked. Then when it does, or you've got a good base line (that is something that works) you can expand on that or experiment with it. Keep notes on what you did, what results you got and what you want to try next time. I've got mini journals for the GF bread, GF flour mixes, spice mixes and pizza base...

But if you want to impress the ladies, ask her what her favorite meal is, then see if you can cook it for her.

If you want something to start, just try and make a simple Mozzarella and Rosemary pizza from scratch.

This is probably the best pizza I have ever made.

she's coming over to your place and trust me the last thing on her mind is what's for dinner?

Ask her if she wants "The Sausage" for dinner or desert.

What are your go-to simple recipes you cook for guests?

Used to just fry hamburgers before but learnt a simple recipe which just involves grinding garlic, onions, pepper before mixing in a pot with mince and adding Mayo at the end.

I would start with something I know how to cook well. Then practice the other things before making them for someone you want to impress.

If I could find a decent recipe for a durban chicken curry, my life would be complete...

Get this:

Just add chicken and some chillies to taste, and sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves.

You will thank me later.
