Are More Men Cooking to Get Laid?

Cooking has come a long way since the 1950’s when the kitchen was considered a no man’s land. But now that so many of today’s top chefs are males who are dominating the culinary scene, an increasing number of men are venturing into the culinary world. In the past, women were taught that the key to a man’s heart was through his stomach.  But today’s single guys are turning that upside down, as they have realized that a home cooked meal and a bottle of wine can be the recipe for success when wooing a woman.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

So guys, if you are looking to sharpen you knifing skills or increase your recipe repertoire of hot date night dishes, you need not step away from your computer. Thanks to a variety of online media properties, bachelors can receive an education in cooking on the Internet. At Cooking for Bachelors TV, host and creator JYL Ferris delivers step-by-step recipe demonstrations via video instruction.  And there are more than 70 webisodes as well as shopping guides you can download, with a marketplace where you can purchase kitchen essentials.

Culinary Seductions, which touts itself as “the guys guide to cooking for girls” has been around for close to two years. In addition to videos, the website has cooking articles, product reviews and menu ideas like their 4 Course Spring Fling option which includes helpful mood setting tips. Though this site has a long way to go in terms of design and maturity, the nice thing about it is that recipes are categorized based on moods, which can be pretty helpful if you’re looking to prepare something sensual, sexy, snuggly or sassy.

Then of course there is the CooktoBang.com website, which has just been turned into a book entitled: Cook to Bang: The Lay Cook's Guide to Getting Laid. Though the names of each recipe are sometime silly and super x-rated, don’t let that fool you. The author is a trained chef and the dishes are delicious!
