Whipping up a dish from scratch is certainly a surefire way to impress a date. Even if the meal is less than perfect, putting in time in the kitchen = "I care enough to do this for you!"
For TV presenter Henry Golding from Malaysia and Singapore-based American actor Bobby Tonelli, men should have no fear of kitchen if they just keep things simple.
Don't have ideas of over-impressing, says Bobby. Cook something extravagant, and "you set a standard that isn't realistic" and there might be a problem maintaining the standard on your second or third or fourth date. "Start simple, so you have room to grow."
Henry gives a super practical tip for men starting out in the kitchen: Don't prepare anything with asparagus in it.
Bobby Tonelli and Henry Golding get dishy behind the scenes"Asparagus is meant to be a lovely, juicy type of vegetable," he shares. "But it does give you stinky pee. That definitely not a great thing!"
What's gotten Henry and Bobby getting (and looking!) dishy in the kitchen? Henry is preparing a meal he describes as "very Jamie Oliver-esque easy fun... the perfect equation for enjoying a lazy Sunday whilst it cooks away in the oven."
Bobby gets busy with dish he describes as "simple yet unique and healthy. This is a dish many friends keep asking me to make repeatedly so I figured, why not?"
