What do you cook for a date, the first time you cook for them?

Looking for ideas from easy to impressive--thanks!

What about doing like fresh pasta? Like ravioli or tagliatelle. It's actually really easy but it's showy. If you haven't done it before, I'd practice a couple times first.

When I was doing this, I would make anything I was comfortable with from my repertoire that I thought they would like. No new recipes for first-time cooking for someone. Generally, choose things that friends/family request you make - if they like it enough to ask for it, your date probably will too.

Brown butter and sage, maybe? Or pesto?

Chicken thighs. Always juicy and popular.

Could serve with baked potato (which I tend to stuff with broccoli) or Asian noodles (with garlic sauce) and stir fried vegetables

Can you imagine kissing someone after eating this?

I’d avoid anything with a lot of garlic. Especially raw garlic.

Depends on what I think they’ll like! I’m a great cook though and have lots of different recipes that are tried and true. Also depends on what’s in season.

Make that Ina Garten chicken that Meghan cooked for Harry.

Grilled steak, medium rare, baked potato, salad, and broccoli.

Key lime pit or cheesecake for dessert

Nothing cruciferous. Minimal garlic and onions.

Unless you're hoping the date ends before dessert.
