Festive Food: His Cooking Event

Festive Food: His Cooking Event



You are thinking what is this? Let me explain then, I was thinking of this event for more than a year now, the idea came to me from one of the boutique near my office which use to display a very eye catchy apron which says "I'm better in bed" ;)  So from that apron I thought let's see how the men in our life are in kitchen, funny rite?

And since festive food didn't had any event for long I thought this is the perfect time for me :) but before posting the event details I did a quick check with FB friends about their better half cooking skills and I was impressed with the response, interesting and funny at times. 

This event is pity simple as always festive food events.  All you have to do is make your hubby, fiancee, boyfriend, Dad, brother or any guys cook, that's all folks you have to just blog it.  Well I know it's not all that easy for some of us so here is the idea or say rules

1.  Cooking has to done by Him (a him may be your husband, Dad, Father-in-law ;) brother, boyfriend etc etc)

2. You can guide along the person like what is where in kitchen (since the HIM species rarely make appearance in our kitchen, if at all any) but it's shouldn't be like you can doing all the cooking and HE is only standing by and watching ...nope nope not accepted gals !

3. Cook anything, it's doesn't have to be fancy dish.  I shall accept tea, toast, omelet too :-)

4. Boiled water is NOT accepted !


Fair enough? Now let's talk about the benefits of this event.  First thing you can enjoy HIS cooking, second thing no more excuse like He doesn't know anything about cooking, third you may start teaching your hubby cooking  (interesting rite?) and most important have fun cooking/learning together.




So gals let's get started, trust me you are going to thank me for this :-)
