Food...like sex...you had better learn to be good at it. And if you can't become good at it, you had better have good technique. After all, you are likely to be indulging in both for some time, it would be a shame to be a disappointment for either.

This blog then, sets out with bold heart, to help some poor hapless lass lad (perhaps ladette) to become at least suitably adept at the wonderful world of cooking. With a bit of instruction, with some of the right, hand technique, you too might become a better seducer through the culinary arts.

The good news is that even the easy stuff can have the most excellent results. You don't need expensive equipment, you don't even need fancy ingredients, just a bit of flair, an imagination and a wooden spoon.

I don't promise miracles, anymore, but if you don't get laid because of my chocolate mousse I will give you your money back.
