COOKING FOR YOUR CRUSH

So you really want to impress the new boo in your life and show him what wifey material you really are…..so whats the best way to do this?! By cooking for him and cooking well. You see for 90% of men, their hearts are in their stomach. Yes the same old, yet timeless cliche that your mother or grandmother may have said to you way back when.

For me deciding what dish to make for the first impression is always the most daunting- yes even for me, someone who cooks everyday. So how do you decide? I say the best way is to have an open conversation with your man of interest. No need to spoil any potential surprises by telling him what you plan to make but treat this as a conversation topic if you have not already learned about his food preferences. 

Keep it simple and ask him the following three questions:

What is his favorite food?

What doesn't he eat? (any allergies, etc.)

What was his favorite food growing up?

From his answers I can guarantee that you will get a clue on exactly what to make to blow him away. Lets say he wants you to make his favorite pasta, steak or seafood and you have no clue on where to start- utilize google (until my cookbook is released next year-then you know i got ya’ll). Have no shame in looking up that recipe so you can ensure you have all the necessary ingredients and have an idea of how long it will take to prepare.

When I am cooking for someone I like, i feel that its important to feel sexy while I am cooking. So typically I will put on lingerie of some sort or a fitted dress along with one of my “Eat with Skylar” aprons…..sometimes just the apron if he’s really special ;) 

Once you feel confident and sexy- you are ready to cook him an amazing meal. 

In my experience, serving him in the apron always enhances the dining experience & remember if you're trying to be wifey - Don't FCK em, Feed em or if you're just having fun- FCK em and feed em!
