A Chef’s life is a hard one, working almost every night for 8-12 hours at a stretch in a hot and humid environment, hardly getting anything to eat themselves, and working on most holidays instead of being with their loved ones. Of course, the title of Chef and the aura they create with their uniforms of crisp white chef coats and elegant chef aprons is an enviable one for the layman, and certainly, their artistic and creative talents should be revered by all.
On the very rare occasions that chefs do get a chance to spend some time with their loved ones, they still like to cook for their families, especially when it's Date Night with their partner.
Here are a few favorites mentioned by some professional chefs.
Nachos with dips and jalapeno for a simple and relaxing night in.
Pasta dishes with fresh home-made pasta, where both can enjoy cooking together.
Charcuterie Boards are also a great choice since no cooking is involved, and they can spend more time with each other.
Salad and pasta using store bought pasta is simple and uncomplicated.
Duck salad, bass in coconut cream sauce and jasmine rice are a delicious Asian style Date Night meal.
Roast chicken with fresh vegetables is a simple yet deliciously elegant dinner time dish that is sure to impress.
A deliciously juicy steak dinner is a sure-fire way of impressing your better half on Date Night, and a great, hearty meal to enjoy.
The thing to remember is that the most important part of a Chef’s date night is not the food, but the time spent with loved ones, since time is very precious for someone who works long hours away from home. Make your date night meal simple, yet delicious, but don’t let it take up the larger portion of your time together.
