Some like to say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but I would argue that this isn't something that is gender specific. For anyone who really enjoys food (i.e. most of the population), it is difficult not to be charmed by somebody cooking something delicious for you. This is one of the many benefits of picking up some basic skills in the kitchen, as few things make fast friends quite like the right kind of edible offering. It also makes your own life easier, so long as you can make the time to whip up something often enough that you don't feel guilty when you order takeout. Whether you are a gifted chef or not, cooking memes bring us all together in agreement on the importance of food. They are also a great way to make you both feel hungry or put yourself off your meal.
