Food acts as an attractive incentive in adding more spice to your marriage and igniting the flame of romance. Who does not love food? And those who don't are fools! They don't know what they are missing. Food is the main requirement in man's life. It does not matter if it is the basic requirement to keep alive, but it can be very special and addictive hobby. Most people, generally, love food.



It is an ancient adage that says, "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach". Men love home cooked food more than eating in a restaurant. It is true that there are few men who don't love food, but this is exceptional. The adage itself, puts a lot of pressure on women, as they have to keep their husbands (and sons) happy. And if she is not a great cook, then I feel sorry for the wife, who under all that pressure, has to try to live up to that mark.

At this juncture, recipe books come to her rescue, proving to be very essential and useful tools - weapons of warfare in her arena of cooking, the kitchen. If she has never cooked in her life, then step by step, she will be guided and taught, from basic cooking till one day, she becomes an excellent gourmet chef, may be one better than those in the restaurants. But for that day to come, one has to persevere and be strong at times when the recipe does not turn out right. Don't break down in tears, but rather open up the recipe book, and take another recipe and carry on bravely. There are millions of recipes and you will never run out of ideas. So don't let it bother you, but hold your head high and go for it.

Your husband will not only appreciate what you make, (believe me, most men do not run down their wives, even those who are learning to cook), but will also encourage you to try again and again. So, don't sweat. It is your effort and the recipe together that will help make a complete success of your cooking efforts. Remember failure is the first step to success.

For those who are excellent cooks, you can keep trying new recipes and tempt him to taste them. Soon you will realize that the magical outcome from those recipe books will have him falling for you, all over again. Recipe books are made for the use and assistance of women, where their mothers or mother-in-laws are not around to help and teach them. So, kudos for people who thought of bringing out recipe books. It has turned out to be a blessing to millions of women all over the world.
