Seduce new lovers' palates with sensual dishes. My grandmother used to always tell me and my sisters when we were younger "You need to learn how to cook so you can cook for your husband" I used to HATE it when she said that. It sounded so country, old school & servant-ish. Uggghh!! As we got older she'd still say it but she'd follow it with "….it'll make your Man give you anything you want" LOL BINGO! Now I'm listening! Thinking back I can now recall how I subconsciously used the power of food on men. I can remember baking my brother some oatmeal raisin cookies in exchange for a ride to the mall. I made my landlord some steak and chimichurri sauce when my rent was delayed and I can recall plenty of times when my Chocolate Chips Cookies seemed to turn my wrongs into "ok" with my husband. Cooking has evolved into a hobby for me.
