For those who doesn't know how whip something in the kitchen, don't worry, this writer is not a spectacular chef nor a brilliant cook. For some, I too am a beginner, still learning the ropes in the kitchen. Let's just say that I can bake well than cook well.

Anyway, there is this old saying that goes, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.". This line goes to show that food can indeed play a great role in a relationship. That food can also be used a love technique. In fact, ladies love it when their men give them a box of chocolates. Even in weddings, the wedding cake symbolizes the sweetness of the couple.


Have you tried cooking for your spouse? Try this love technique and you will be appreciated regardless of the outcome. After all, its the thought that counts! When my husband and I settled in our new home, I vowed to myself that I will and I should learn how to cook so that I can feed my husband and myself. So for starters, I learned to cook for breakfast. Hotdog, bacon, meat loaf, pancakes and eggs in different styles. And I am always happy whenever my husband appreciated my cooking and give me great compliments. I don't mind receiving constructive criticisms from him either because I know that I need to know the basics in cooking and because he cooks well that I do, I consider my husband as my mentor in the kitchen.

Before my husband and I got married, I enjoyed baking a lot. During the early years in our relationship, I remember baking a bunch of chocolate crinkles and place them in a nice tin can in the shape of a heart and gave them to my husband as a gift. And he loved them, in fact he kept the tin can and used it as container for my love letters.

I believe that cooking or baking for your spouse is another way to show to them that you love them. A tasty love technique that brings delight to the both of you. It's also a  great bonding for the two of you. My husband and I love experimenting food together. I enjoyed cooking and baking with my husband and it brought us happiness whenever the turn out of our creation is a success.

Let's all enjoy this love technique together!
