A book designed and directed to the fellow who wants to expand his repertoire to attract the ladies through cooking. Included are many recipes that are crafted for an intimate meal for two or four, along with discussions of the basics of cooking for the novice, wines and cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, main courses, desserts, and "post-dining".
It is a book for the bachelor to buy and for the ladies to give as a gift who want their Beau(x) or husbands to learn how to cook.
It is interlaced with anecdotes regarding the author's comedic experiences in dating, cooking and gallivanting! Additionally it includes a few lessons learned (some the hard way) with some advice on what to do and not to do.
The recipes are eclectic and usually short - in number of ingredients and cooking time. The basic test for inclusion was "taste". But in addition all ingredients had to be readily available at the corner super market. A further criterion for those recipes solicited from friends, is that they had to be proven successes! (However you want to interpret that!).
The book was a lot of fun writing over these past three years and I hope the reader enjoys it as much as I did in writing it. Remember to "PUT SOME SPICE IN YOUR LIFE"
