Girls love starch. Most of them love breakfast too. Here are the only recipes for Pancakes and French Toast you'll ever need:

Buttermilk Pancakes (I also like to use the Bob's Red Mill multigrain mix, I eat that for myself since it's healthier but I actually prefer the nuttier taste)

Base flour mix:
4C All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
2 T sugar
2 T salt

Recipe:
2C Flour mix from above
1C Whole Milk
1C Buttermilk
3 eggs, separated
2T Butter, melted

Have 3 metal bowls ready. Put the flour in bowl number 1. Put both milks in bowl number 2. When you separate the eggs, put the yolks in with the milks in bowl #2, and the whites by themselves in bowl #3. Whisk the eggs whites by hand until they form soft peaks. Pour the melted butter in with the milk and yolks, and then whisk that together. For the final assembly, you should have a bowl of flour mix, a bowl of milks/yolks/melted butter, and a bowl of whipped whites. Pour the milk/yolk/butter mix over the flour, and then the whites over that, so everything is in one bowl. GENTLY, ever so gently, fold everything together by scraping the bottom of the bowl with the whisk, and let everything "fall" together. Don't beat anything together, just keep rotating the bowl and scraping the bottom with the whisk, gently incorporating everything together. The final mix should be seriously lumpy and frothy, but mostly homogenous. Cook a few tablespoons of batter on medium high heat in a cast iron pan, cook it in butter, when they brown on one side and the cakes rise a little flip them and cook for 45 sec more, being careful not to overcook. Arrange on a plate with little pats of butter and real maple syrup (no log cabin or aunt jemima crap) You can get more creative with the toppings like crumbled bacon, whipped creme fraiche, caramelized bananas, whatever.

French toast:
Use brioche or challah or raisin-cinnamon bread

Batter:
1 Quart cream
1/2 quart milk
6 eggs
1T vanilla extract
1T salt
2T maple syrup

Mix everything together. Dip the bread in and let soak for 15 seconds per side. Cook in cast iron pan with butter, making sure it's hot all the way through and there's no "raw" batter in the center of the bread. Plate as above pancakes. Fruit compotes and sauces work really well with french toast. Use pear/apple sauce in the fall, peach/plum sauces during the summer.

Gross, american and lovely.. feel like skipping the oatmeal/protein powder and walnuts + milk and dipping right into it

I love cooking, if I wasn't a finance guy I would be a chef.
Don't forget the wine and food pairing, a good pairing is bomb.

The best pairing for steak is a Malbec from Argentina, skip the 10 bucks bottle that sells at Target, go for something better.

As dude said, girls are not that into tannins so skip the classic Cabernet Sauvignon.

Also a good and cheap tip is to pair food and wine depending on the region, so, if you're eating something Spanish go for Rioja/Ribera del Duero stuff like that.

I love cooking.

I've known about culinary game since I was 16, and frankly I think it's one of the best ways to show your independence, ambition, and display your creativity. I was surprised when I first came to college that few people knew how to cook, and it gave me a distinct edge with women when I switched the subject to good food and wine. It doesn't take too much to impress them--I've found that the women I've cooked for didn't know the first thing about cooking chicken, let alone following a simple recipe. Sad things have ended up like this.

Here's the recipe for Romesco sauce. It's Spanish, and chances are you've never had it before. It has a great, bold smoky like flavor that can give a kick to any dish.

Romesco Sauce:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1-inch thick slice of crusty bread, torn into pieces
1/2 cup blanched almonds, chopped or slivered (can substitute hazelnuts, peeled)
5-6 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 15-ounce can of crushed tomatoes, or canned whole tomatoes (including the juice) that have been de-seeded, or 1 pound fresh tomatoes that have been par-boiled, skins removed, and de-seeded
1 8-ounce jar of roasted red bell peppers, drained
1 Tbsp smoked paprika (preferred) or sweet paprika
2-3 Tbsp sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. Saute the bread and almonds in olive oil over medium high heat. When they start to brown, throw in the garlic cloves. Saute for another minute, then put the mixture aside.
3. Put your mixture into a food processor along with the rest of the ingredients listed. Puree until smooth--you can tell the sauce is done when the bread pieces and almonds are incorporated smoothly into the tomato base.
4. Pour mixture into a rimmed sheet pan. I used a 6-8 quart heavy iron pot that I baked the crusty bread in on this step. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce begins to caramelize on the sides.

I made this sauce last night instead of tomato sauce for my eggplant parm. It took that dish to a whole new level.

In enjoy making asian inspired dishes. Thai food for example is easy and tasty.

(Spicy or not) Basil Pork/or Chicken served with steamed white rice :
*soysauce (2 tb spoon per person)
*fishsauce (1tb spoon per person, try for yourself)
*garlic
*red chilies
*shredded chicken or pork
*sliced onions
*fresh basil leaves
*steamed white rice
*BROWN or white sugar (1/2 tb spoon per person)

Heat your pan/wok and add the garlic, throw in the shredded pork or chicken and stirfry it untill the meat looks gold colored. Throw in the fresh chilies and onions. Stir fry a little bit and then add 2 table spoons of soysauce and half a table spoon of fishsauce per person. Leave it on for a while so the soysauce and fishsauce marinates into the meat and add the sugar, after this add a little bit of water (a few table spoons approx. per person). Last step is to throw in the fresh basil leaves and serve with steamed white rice.

Everyone loves this, it should be a little bit spicy but the sugar and the fresh basil leaves makes it sweet and fresh. The sugar actually makes the sauce stickier, don't add too much sugar and don't forget to spice it up with the chilies (take out the seeds of the chilies, that's what makes it too spicy).

I started the day I separated from the military, and learned for my own benefit. Swooping chicks was a awesome bi-product. It started w/ basic box dinner, to cougars showing me, to now where I can put together just any dish. Whatever you cook, no matter how simple, presentation is key. If your just starting out consider taking some classes. Hell, it might be packed w/ girls. Learn different styles and dishes from several regions. I'm strong on Japanese, and Filipino for Asia, Italian and Spanish for Europe, anything for CA/SA, and well......borsch for EE and Russia. My weak points are baking and desserts.

Now for a breakdown on gaming girls. Rounding up ingredients opens up venues like fresh markets and specialty/grocery stores. I love being the white guy picking out intricate ingredients in an Asian stores. Girls eat that up. Start a convo and they'll ask what you're going to make. This is a good way to invite them over for a taste. Learn an easy Asian noodle dish and invite a girl over that can't use chopsticks. Teaching her how is a great way to kino. Keep your kitchen immaculate, and understand the order of preparation. Don't taint your veggies with raw chicken. Girls will probably notice, especially when she's in the hospital w/ salmonella. Don't spend too much time in the kitchen. If it's a long dish do as much prep work as possible.

Grilling is another way to bring the venue to your house. Steve Raichlen is the authority. Pick up his bible b/c he has a lot of exotic dishes that will impress anyone. Be careful with this though. You may look like the man but if it's hot outside everyone will be inside and someone else will be gaming your target.

Showing an interest in culture is crucial in gaming foreign girls. From here on in hostels and hotels are out. I'll be staying in furnished apartments. Practice the countries dishes beforehand, then go to the market and grab some ingredients. Start a convo w/ girls and bring up food. Tell her you are cooking whatever dish the next day and would like some local advice. Invite her and a couple of her friends over to eat. Later if they ask for an American dish, hook it up. This has worked for me w/ foreign girls in the U.S., and am sure it'll work abroad.

Always let the girls assist you in the kitchen. It keeps her involved and lets you escalate. Her mind is on the task and less on your advances. Open a bottle of wine during the process. This data sheet was was mainly constructed for the younger players, as I'm sure most of us lifestyle bachelors already have this down. If I left anything out feel free to add.

I'm a Chef and I can attest to this. Girls love when I start talking about food. You would think it'd be beta but it's one of those "premiere" professions that get women wet.

Even if you are just starting out, learn a few recipes and cooking with a chick is one of the easiest ways into a girl's pants. Don't forget the wine and/or shots and make it a fun event. Most American girls can't cook worth a shit, so you instantly DHV by one-upping her. With foreign girls, it puts you well above your competition because most men can't cook either -- yet another reason why Americans are so fat.

Don't really have much to offer but thought I'd bump this because it's some pretty quality stuff.
I recently "moved out" into an apartment off-campus and I am now cooking so I have plans to invite chicks over for food.

Agreed, gem of a post!

Although it's been my experience that if you can get a girl to your house for a home cooked meal, the dessert is almost always sex!

Cooking my own delicious meals gives me self-satisfaction because that food came from a labor of love that you can actually taste the fruits of it.

That said, would you guys invite a girl over to cook for/with her for the first date? Or would you go for drinks first, then venue change to your place for cooking game? I would write a guide from meeting-cooking-bang if I've had lots of cooking game experiences. So far, I've only been making them help me with clean up/set up while I do most of the prep and cooking.

I improved my Cooking skills last year.
I realized that cooking for me is very relaxing and I would like to prepare things for people who would apreciate that.

I’ve had a fair amount of success in cooking girls dinner as a first date. The obvious advantage of this approach is, the only transition you need to make is from the table to your bed. No messing about wondering how to frame asking her back, when to do it, etc., just clear the plates away and lead her somewhere more comfortable.

There are plenty more pluses though. If a girl agrees to coming round to yours for a first date, you can be pretty sure she’s DTF – she knows what’s on the cards. No need to waste time playing games. Occasionally they’ll resist till you have them over another time, just for the show, but that’ll usually be it.

If she balks at coming over, she probably wasn’t going to put out any time soon anyway. I’ve never really had this happen though, as I only try to pick up girls that are giving out pretty strong fuck-me signals. Flaking is also a non-issue if the girl’s coming to yours. If she doesn’t turn up, simply call someone else or head out. It’s impossible to be stood up in your own home.

Never start cooking before she arrives, because you’ll miss a great opportunity to display some dominance. Get her doing the bitch work like chopping and stirring. Lots of opportunities for kino here, too.

Cooking is a good way to impress girls, especially as hardly any of them can do it any more. You don’t have to push the boat out with anything fancy – even a basic pasta, done really well, can make an impact. Even more so if it’s the kind of thing she might make for herself sometimes but without any skill or care. The cost of some decent ingredients and a good bottle shouldn’t run to more than that of a couple of rounds of drinks. You can halve that by getting her to bring the wine – don’t skimp if you’re buying it, though, get something nice.

Obviously you need to build a decent amount of rapport with a girl before she’ll agree to come over, but in my experience it’s surprisingly little – not much more than it takes to get a firm, non-flakey drinks date. I wonder if they feel less danger just coming over from the outset – they can tell their friends what they’re doing, plan their escape if they get creeped out – rather than having it sprung on them in the middle of a drinks date (even if they knew it was on the cards).

Wait a cooking thread and no one called me? I gotta get up on the Game forum more often

I just covered the topic of dinner dates at home on my website

Dinner Date

The Archetypal Dinner Date

Also I've seen some starch heavy items and desserts being tossed around in this thread, I disagree with those entirely. Starches weigh you down and put you to sleep, fucking on a stomach full of carbs is no fun, same goes with spicy foods.

Fresh, lite faire is the best thing you can serve when a girl comes over, red meat should be the heaviest thing on the menu. Keep dessert lite and small.

As much as I love cooking, I love having a girl cook for me twice as much. Sadly, this is harder to come by in the US but definitely can be pulled off with most foreign chicks and some Americans as well. This is probably the best way to start a relationship, everything gets started on the right foot!

Look for high end civilian culinary stores in your area. Find the SWPL mecca in your town and I'm sure there's one there.

I dont know if its a chain, but I know they're in a few states, a place called Sur La Table

Cooking is definitely in my arsenal for moistening the panties. I've been doing this for over thirty years and I thank my Dad (rest his soul) for giving me the skills to do this. My Dad taught me the cooking and grilling skills that I have today and if any of you guys ever tasted one of my aged and slow grilled ribeye steaks, you'd never eat another one in a restaurant again. A huge amount of my success with the girls when I was younger was cooking for them. When you have mastery of your own kitchen, you can see it in their eyes, they can't wait to jump you. Works even better for LTR's, every time I cook now, (only once a week, gotta keep the girl in her place) its a guaranteed freaky lay.

Exactly. She has "whet" my appetite for me to "wet" her appetite

I thought a stomach is a way to the mans heart

I wouldnt mind cooking now & then when I enjoy it, and I am good. But at times.. I'd much rather have her just cook for me, earn my affections & have a good night

Great post AliB.

Chad and I are both highly experienced in culinary game, and your advice is on point (especially the preparation piece).

I like to invite girls over for dinner, then make them help me prepare it. Obviously I'll have done most of the work but for those girls who can't cook it is one of the biggest DHVs. Most of them end up feeling extremely insecure by their lack of cooking expertise in the presence of a man (as they should).

Obviously this can backfire if you're inexperienced or royally fuck up. Preparation and practice is key.

Grilling is my absolute favorite, behind breakfast omelets, pancakes, bacon, and mimosas. Once you've cooked a girl breakfast the next morning after you've given her the dicking of a lifetime, her pussy is yours forever. Trust me on this.

So with V-Day almost here I hope you guys aren't planning on pumping your broad full of sugar and reinforcing her bad habits. I hammered the dents out of this low-ish carb dessert that'll make you look like a cooking god and only takes about 10 minutes to make.

I'm not sure if it would whip up the same.

I'd just drink the coconut milk chug the whole thing it acts like a natural energy drink due to your bodies inability to store the fats its made of.

For a light, refined dessert:

Simmer fresh strawberries in a little sugar and chambord. Top a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream with it. Drizzle with chambord and serve.

I don't remember the quantities, so hopefully Chad or Gmac could do a test run. It is a great dish and girls will love the hell out of it. The alcohol adds a bit of "naughty" flair, which is what you should be aiming for by dessert anyway.

I'm just pulling these numbers out of the air but I'd go with 1 cup sliced berries two 1/4 cup sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of booze. I'd flambe it for a second (make sure you have a lid to slap on the pan to suffocate the fire though)

I'm gonna try to knock the kinks out of a honey and sweet potato brulee that'll fit my criterion of healthy while also being good. Gimme a couple weeks and I'll have that worked out.
