Chef and author of “Meal and a Spiel” and “How to Be a Badass in the Kitchen”, Elana Horwich joins us to discuss how a date suggestion says a lot about the effort someone is willing to put in, the difference between dating in the US and in Italy and the true meaning behind “ciao bella,” why you should read Elana‘s cookbook in bed, how to begin cooking even if you have a small kitchen and minimal supplies, the importance of learning to cook before marriage and children, ways to make cooking your sexy foreplay, how adding an extra spice to an everyday item can make it feel more creative and special, the two main cooking tools that Elana recommends everyone has in their kitchen, fast and easy meals to whip up for yourself or you and your significant other that appear more fancy than they are, and what to cook for Valentine’s Day that’s easy to make and special, while we cheers with our nightcap, The Stardust Marg!
