Guys who cook - what special meal would you prepare to impress that special someone on a first date (60)
I'd treat with a special cup of Spicy Chicken Noodles, instant style. What? I heat up the water, that counts as cooking!

PietroPaoloV: Starter:
Chop parsley and red onion
Cut up herring pickled in mustard in really small pieces
Mix all of this together
Boil an egg, cut it in half, take out the yellow, put some of the above mix inside instead
Top it with a bit of caviar
Main:
A couple of nice fresh chicken fillets
Beat them flat, until they’re half a finger thick and the size of a palm
Put each filet on a bit of aluminium foil
Squeeze some lemon over each fillet
Salt, pepper
Put a thin slice of ham on the fillet, use two if one will not cover the whole chicken
Cut up Greek Feta cheese into tiny pieces, sprinkle over the ham and chicken
Some basil
Roll the whole fillet into a cigar-shaped serving, using the foil to roll it inside and as to keep it together
Into the oven
Fresh potato, pealed and cut up in wedges, salt, grill mix, into the oven
Cut up some fresh green, yellow and red pepper in thin slices and fry on one side of the pan, use the other to fry some fresh chanterelle
Take out the chicken, remove the foil, put on a plate
Put some potato to it’s side
Adorn with fried pepper and friend chanterelle
Serve with yoghurt based cold sauce
Cut up chive, shredded carrot, lots of lemon, some salt and a good stir
Together with Gaza salad, Ruccola (Arugula) mixed with close to minced tomato, cucumber some onion, parsley, dash of lemon, salt, olive oil and Cheyenne pepper to give it bit of sting.

Well I guess it would depend on whether they are vegan, vegetarian or a meat eater. I only eat Kosher and veggie so it would be one of the two.
I love to cook and I wont boast but I am a good cook. I often cook on the first date and it always works (many more dates I mean).
I can cook a variety of dishes from different continents and it will not make you
When it comes to baking
I will leave that to the lady, otherwise it spells disaster.

jbibiza: Basil or lemon and black pepper ice creams are delicious!!
Yes...i thik ive tried a lemon one!
These cheese lattices i did a few weeks ago were a real disappointment when the pastry went a bit hard.
Frankly there thin horrible quiches, so why not just stick with a quish and be done with it!!
A few days ago i also bought my Japanese ingredients so i'll be eating oriental tomorrow!
Well, that's if the cats don't steal my chicken, which ginger managed successfully tonight.The orange giant swine.

lusciousmile: I love Pilau and biriani. The Swahili, have similar tastes in cooking.
Really? I didn't know that?
My India food is pretty good, in fact Riya checked on me via webcam to make sure i was doing the traditional real version of Bombay potatoes right!!
I had the mixtures perfect on my second batch!!
She will also confirm i didn't burn my pots, pans or anything else!!

I'm am not swahili, i only speak it, but yes, they do have some similarities.
Chapatis are just perfect! I'll ask Riya, but she might not want to embarass you, about burning the food.

One of my favorite meals to prepare and it does take a few minutes.
I usually start prepping about an hour to hour and half before dinner time.
Main dish is Bacon wrapped beef or pork steak in bite size pieces skewered on toothpicks. I do dry rub marinate the meat for at least 4-6 hours. (This is quick to cook, so this almost last to put in the oven.)
Side dish is baked patatoes that have been cooked and then mashed into a baking dish. The topping is red onions and mushrooms cooked in butter and black pepper. (This is cooked while the patatoes are baking.) Once that is finished, I layer it on top of the patatoes and then add some bread crumbs and final topping of cheese. Bake this one for at least 20-35 mins. (This is the time you put the meat in at the same time.)
The other side dish is just mixed vegtables, drained, buttered and seasoned.
The dessert is a simple peice of can pear that is placed on a dessert dish. Now, what makes this different is that, I place a single marcino cherry, (That has been soaked in amaretto for at least 2-3 weeks), in the center of the plate. I place the pear backside up, with the cherry sitting in the center covered by the pear. I then spritz some chocolate syrup around the pear and drizzle a little bit on the pear. Giving it a dazzled look.
I know that this sounds extensive, but in reality it looks and tastes great for a simple meal.
Enjoy.

I think some of these meals sound absolutely fabulous! Who knew! Why are some of you guys single again? Now that the ladies know you guys have such great skills in the kitchen don't be surprised if you get some request for your hand in marriage.

Well it would depend on the person whom I was bringing over. DO I have just one meal I can prepare, NO. I have several in several different cultural cuisines. Anything from Oriental and Indian to Southwestern, French and Italian, even Vegan. It is all in what the person is into.

Funny you should ask. I just did that last Tuesday for a lady friend. Menu as follows;
Shrimp de Jonghe appetizer
Spinach salad w/hot bacon-cider dressing
Almond trout with shrimp and crab butter cream sauce
Parsley butter new potatoes
Creole corn
Choe pastry w/apricot brandy sauce for dessert.
And of course, a great Pinot to go with.
Bon Appetite!

jbibiza: OHhhh no.... don´t tell me you cut up chilies with out gloves.....
Well , if i remember right. Here's the story...............
Boil poatoes........done....then chop into suitable sizes/cubes.
Then on a hot pan heat some oil, add chilli powder, and then mustard seeds....and wait till the mustard seed "pop".
Then for convienience, put in a blender the contents of one tin of chopped Tomatoes (or blend 6 fresh ones).
It's at this point i got a whoosh of chilli essance directly onto the eyes!
Then add your Masala, cumin. Coriander and a bit of chilli paste ........
Then throw in your potatoes, turn down the heat and let the mixture gently simmer, for 25 mins.
Now what you'll have is fruity Bombay potatoes, without the onion, asfotita.
If you want the detailed mixture version just feel free to email me.

Recently I spent the weekend at a friend's place...
Together we made fantastic sushi, and then he experimented a bit more (delicious) - followed by toffee ice cream....
One of the most memorable meals, because he wasn't trying to impress me..... we could actually enjoy it..... and there was no mountain of washing up!
