And what a cause for celebration that is!
There's a very small window, somewhere between the first date and letting him see your morning afro, where romance is alive, and the world is your Oysters Rockefeller.
Since so many romances skip courtship, there's something wonderful about those first dinners, where you plan courses, garnish desserts, and vacuum the rug an extra time to get perfect lines. But it can also be daunting trying to determine whether to take on a new and ambitious recipe, or stick with an old favorite that may not have the same curb appeal.
Luckily for you, the folks at Match.com teamed up with Fabio Viviani of Top Chef fame to create some date-proof recipes that any bottom chef can handle.
Most importantly, go with something you're comfortable with, and have enough food to feed two people (even if you'll both leave the date half-starved trying to appear delicate).
One word of advice from your very un-romantic hostess: make sure that the dinner is as comfortable as it is impressive. Excessive candlelight or the predominance of aphrodisiacs can put your perfectly prepared dinner in a pressure cooker.
