PREPARING A ROMANTIC DINNER: EMOTIONS, POSITIVE FEELINGS AND BENEFITS FOR HEALTH AND MOOD

Everyone has in mind the moments when they were in love. In other words, they are times when you spend most of your time thinking about the other person. That is, he or she becomes the center of the thoughts of the person in love. Then the first phase of falling in love can be the most beautiful or the most unpleasant depending on the situation. In other words, it is a psychological phenomenon that can also have significant physical effects.

EXCHANGE OF LOOKS AND CHEMICAL SIGNALS IN THE FIRST STAGE OF FALLING IN LOVE

That is, the endorphins producedin this phase make us feel euphoric, tachycardic, full of energy. In particular, the first form of courtship typical of humans and many animal species was the offering of food. That is, the man, by offering food to his possible companion, demonstrated the ability to provide food for the family. Even today, the invitation to lunch or, more often, to dinner represents the most common and appreciated form of courtship. But in the past the laws of nature were followed so it was the man who offered food to the woman. For example, the hunter, after having captured a prey, gave a part of it to the desired woman to show his skill as a hunter. Especially in recent times, hunting is no longer the main way to get food. Then often a man with a passion for hunting is not liked by a woman.

ORGANIZATION OF THE DINNER

In other words, I would recommend getting the ingredients for dinner in a good shop. Especially in modern times the offering of a portion of prey to a woman has been replaced by a more sedate invitation to lunch or dinner. For example, the sequence of events that ends with a romantic dinner invitation is more or less always the same. That is, two individuals meet, know each other and like each other. Moreover you think that the partner can be the most beautiful for you. Then one of the two takes the initiative first and takes the first step. In other words, he invites the desired woman or man to dinner. That is, in modern times it is not uncommon for the initiative and therefore the invitation to start from the woman. Moreover, after the acceptance of the invitation begins the phase of organizing the meal.

IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT PREPARATION

In other words, the mind of the person who sent the invitation will be fully committed to organizing everything in the best possible way. That is the atmosfere has to be the most beautiful.  Moreover, you will not want to waste the opportunity. That is, probably a dinner with the desired person has been the object of many fantasies and hopes for weeks or months. But perhaps for a long time you lacked the courage to address the invitation to the other person. But now the courage has been found and you don’t want to waste this precious opportunity and therefore you want to prepare everything perfectly. It is important to know the tastes and preferences of the person invited. That is, it would be inappropriate to prepare a dish of duck with orange for a vegetarian, for example.

But even a portion of baked swordfish for those who do not love fish would not be recommended. Then it is important to know, if it is possible, the existence of any food intolerances. First of all I would not give fresh cheeses to a lactose intolerant. But even giving a dish of pasta with fish sauce to those suffering from celiac disease is not a good idea. Especially since this could cause problems due to gluten intolerance. Similarly, it would be useful to look for an alternative to wine if the guest is strictly teetotal.

CHOICE OF DISHES

But now let’s focus on the main task of those who organized the evening that has to be the most beautiful. That is to make it as pleasant as possible. First of all it is important not to be in a hurry and to organize the list of dishes to be cooked with great patience and attention. In particular, it can be very useful to know the culinary tastes of the desired person. Then I would advise not to overdo the quantities. But still my opinion would be that it is best to prepare a list of tasty but unusual foods.

For example, a choice of moderately elaborate, tasty and infrequent recipes would be ideal. In other words, the guest can be fascinated with preparations that he knows little about. In particular because you will have the opportunity to describe these original dishes. Especially the reason for all this is due to the fact that it will be possible to stimulate the imagination of the person invited.

CHOICE OF FOODS

In addition, as regards the choice of foods to prepare, I would recommend a series of three dishes. Then the choice can vary according to personal tastes. But I would prepare an appetizer, a fish main course and a dessert for a girl I’m interested in. In particular, the appetizer could be a dish containing a salmon mousse, smoked swordfish or sea urchin eggs. Then, in the same dish I would add a carpaccio of sea bass or grouper. I would still place lightly buttered toasted bread croutons next to these foods. Finally I would conclude with a dessert that could be a walnut cake and a chocolate mousse.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Especially a dinner for someone special requires great attention to detail. That is, I would give a lot of importance to the choice of wine with which to accompany meals. My advice would be to choose a white wine from vines such as Verdicchio or Vermentino. In particular with a low alcohol content. That is, with an alcohol content of 11 or 12 degrees. In addition, I recommend drinking this wine at a cool temperature to better appreciate its quality and aroma. Moreover, I gave some advice on the type of dishes to cook and the ingredients to use.

CREATING THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE

But what I wrote mainly concerns only the culinary part. However, if this is an important element of the preparation, we must not forget other fundamental elements for the success of the dinner. In other words, the choice of foods to bring to the table to be paired with good wines is only part of the organization of a successful dinner. In other words, stimulating the attraction of the desired person is a game that stimulates the senses and requires the synergy between hormones, smells, flavors and sensations.

TASTE AND SMELL

Moreover, taste and smell are the two most primordial senses that most stimulate the innermost part of the brain. That is, the part of the nervous system dedicated to the most primal sensations such as sexual attraction and passion. In particular, smells and tastes act on this brain area, reinforcing the feeling of union between the members of the couple. Especially a well-organized dinner is an ideal condition to create the right atmosphere that gives birth to the magic of passion. In addition, all this would favor the release of endorphins which are the chemicals that stimulate the sensation of pleasure.

In other words, I would provide the room with average lighting. Then I would add two scented candles to the side of the table. In addition, I would choose low volume background music. Then the choice of music depends on personal tastes but I would recommend bands like Queen, Pink Floyd or David Bowie. But a selection of quiet songs by Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi would also be fine.

MAKE IT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE ORGANIZED A SPECIAL  SITUATION AND RECEIVE SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES

Then it would be good to describe to the invited person the particularity of the dishes prepared. In addition to the validity of choosing the best wine to combine with them. In addition, it is useful to perceive the subliminal signals that each person involuntarily emanates. That is, the tone of the voice, the rhythm at which you blink and any redness that may appear on the cheeks. Especially these bodily signals give signals of appreciation and serenity. Then the situations can be variable depending on the person in front of you. In other words, it takes a good ability to manage this long series of elements in a harmonious way. That is food, wine, background music, atmosphere and topics of discussion.
