A Cooking Date By Laura Araujo


Cooking together is a great way to get to know your date better—whether you’re married, dating, friends, or parent and child. First, pick your roles in the kitchen. One person should serve as chef de cuisine (head chef) and the other should be the sous chef (second in command). Next, put on your apron, pour a drink, turn on some music and have fun! Here are date night appetizers and side dishes to enjoy!
