Romantic, delicious, and fun

This cookbook is great fun for couples who enjoy working together to produce something: delicious food, in this case. I wouldn't recommend it under the following circumstances:

For couples who are currently going through a bad patch, this cookbook will probably just make things worse: it requires a lot of cooperation and a sense of humor.

For couples who are competitive with each other, you might not like the results when you get out of sync with each other on the instructions because one of you was trying to do his/her part better or faster or with more seasoning. (Not that I'm speaking from experience!)

For couples without access to a well-equipped kitchen, you will be frustrated by the equipment and ingredients that you don't have. This book doesn't require anything really exotic, but it sure is a lot easier if you have lots of different types of pots and pans, a food processor, stove, oven, microwave, and plenty of timers.

Aside from those caveats, you really can't go wrong. The instructions are spelled out in detail, so that even couples without a lot of cooking experience can create complex, exciting meals together without running into the timing pitfalls that usually plague beginning cooks.

Enjoy -- and better clean up the dishes as you go along, because you'll probably be in too romantic a mood to wash dishes by the time you're done cooking, eating, and drinking wine!

Wonderful Evenings Spent With Your Date!

This cookbook is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed the evenings we have spent together cooking. My husband wasn't too keen on staying in on a Friday night, especially to cook, however, once the evening got started, we both had a blast. Now he is asking when is the next time we are going to spend our Friday night cooking! In addition, the recipes are top notch. We also enjoy the drink selections recommended. This book has been a wonderful gift to other couples!

Together time (in the kitchen)

This book helped my other half and I spend time in the room I spend most of my time. We have learned how to cook together through trial and error, but this book is a great guide for us. The recipes are a little more difficult than I would have tried on my own, and are fantastic, we have enjoyed most of them so far!

Dinner Dates

My husband and I had the best Valentine's day ever! It was so much fun and our 4 year old was a great help. I plan to buy four more books for friends and family members who like to cook together.


Our Favorite Cookbook!

I got this book for my boyfriend one Valentine's Day and we have enjoyed it thoroughly. Each date includes all the recipes for a complete meal, and the shopping and equipment lists at the beginning of each section are really helpful. The recipes are very easy to follow and hard to screw up, so there are plenty of opportunities to connect with your date through conversation (or otherwise!) Every time we've cooked with this book it's led to a delicious meal and a fun, romantic evening - I highly recommend it!
