Cooking for Mr Right
Author: Mimi Bean
Give Him A Taste Of The Good Stuff
Want to take your relationship to the next level? Cooking for Mr. Right provides the perfect gourmet game plan-whether you're looking for a proposal, a tantalizing means of seduction, or a mouthwatering way of easing into the morning after.
Restaurateur Mimi Bean and food writer Rebecca Chastenet de Gery have concocted recipes that speak straight to the heart of any man, from a hardy Rugged Outdoorsman to a sensitive Starving Artist, and provide revealing insights into each type's turn-ons and turn-offs-culinary and otherwise. Euro Nerds will fall for the bohemian allure of Country French Pat‚ and Coq au Vin followed by Parisian Apple Tart, while an ardent Grill Master will flip over Grilled Porterhouse Steak and a decadent Jack Daniel's Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie. For your own personal Mr. Big, there's a magnate's menu of Carpaccio with Garlic-Parsley Sauce and Lemon Bread, Swordfish au Poivre with Cognac-Mustard Sauce, and Souffl‚ Grand Marnier.
Along with delectable recipes Cooking for Mr. Right includes suggestions for music to set the mood, cocktail and appetizer ideas, Aphrodisiacs 101, and a section of dream menus from celebrity hunks to inspire you in your search for the right partner.
With recipes tailor-made for every scenario-a romantic second date, snuggling up fireside, or even saying a sweet good-bye-this spicy, sassy, fun cookbook will show you how deliciously easy it can be to snag your man!
"It's the entertaining-with-ease equivalent of choosing a drop-dead dress and then sighing, `Oh, this old thing?'"
