hey guys just a quick question
if you were to cook someone dinner on a date, what would be good dinner to cook?
Something I could actually cook.
You should check on food allergies, food beliefs (vegetarianism/veganism), and major food likes and dislikes before you go cooking something that someone has the potential to dislike and doesn't have any other options.

yer i asked they just said they don't eat pork and thats it.
I'd go for a nice pasta dish. Keep it simple maybe with a bolognese/ragu sauce and some tagliatelle pasta. You can make a lovely side-salad with plenty of lovely leaves, cherry tomatoes, olives and croutons, get a nice bottle of red wine (italian natch - but no need to spend too much money unless they know their wines) and some fresh basil to sprinkle on top of your main dish to give it some colour.
All you need for the sauce is some tomatoes (or tinned chopped tomatoes if you can't be arsed blanching a load of fresh ones), some tomato puree/paste, an onion, couple of cloves of garlic, fresh basil and any other veg you might want to add (although meat and onion is all that's needed). Cook the sauce gently in a large frying pan and then turn up the heat a bit. When the sauce is smellin damn fine chuck in your meat and stir it about. I prefer to cook the meat in the sauce because it absorbs the flavour. Lovely.
When I wooed my girlfriend, I cooked her tortellini and fresh salmon and had a very nice, very executive bottle of wine. Worked a chaaaarm.
The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

Apparently, to make a proper ragu base, you need celery, carrot and onion, and garlic is generally frowned upon. Then you add the tomatoes and mince. I didn't realise that until about a year ago, but it's bloody tasty.
Obviously I've still got a lot of time for the classic 'shitloads of redwine, shitloads of puree, shitloads of garlic' approach, but it's nice to have another string on the proverbial bow.
Indeed, carrot and celery do make a nice authentic ragu base, although in Bologne itself I found out that in fact meat, onion and tomato are all that is needed for authentic bolognese. I think it changes all over Italy.

Awards: But all agree it must be tagliatelle instead of spaghetti! I did't even eat Bolognese in Bologne. I got a very nice tuna salad instead. Still the only time I've been out for a meal and ordered a salad for main course.

Wow. The level of detail there is kinda scary.
If you have a sense of what you want to center on (meat, fish, pasta whatever), hit google for some recipe ideas. Find something slightly adventurous but that is still in your general comfort zone.
Sometimes it's not the actual content that impresses guests - it's the creativity and effort!

Awards: Depending on what kind of relationship you have, it could be good to go with messy foods too.
Take tacos or fajitas for example, plenty of mess all over the place so it will be a fun meal thats not too serious, with delightful sexual overtones that will subconsciously be the result of eating with your fingers.
Add fruits like bananas too, and there you go BAM!Originally Posted by Trionix
