Valentine's day is around the corner. One of my friend said that he want to cook for his girlfriend on Valentine's day. I guess that is very cool, it is better a candlelight dinner. So, i am wondering how many guys would love to cook for their girlfriend on that special day? Or would you take your girlfriend out and enjoy a wonderful dinner? Which do you think better? And why?
From a woman's point of view, I think cooking for a girlfriend would be commendable.
I personally love to be pampered and have dinner cooked for me at home. I get very tired of eating out in restaurants after a long day of working or cleaning or whatever. Plus, on Valentines Day, the dining places are crowded and the waits are long.
Of course a nice purchased decadent dessert might be in order if you don't have pastry chef tendencies!
And, don't forget the candles and a nice bouquet of flowers for the table which the pretty girlfriend can take with her. Oh yes, a nice keepsake jewelry might also be nice!!

I think the presentation is as important if not moreso than the meal. Place should be spotless, nice candles, flowers and soothing music. Don't make the meal too heavy...and I agree with RC about the dessert.
It's a great idea - I've been cooking for my wife on anniversaries, birthdays, and Valentine's Day for about 20 years now. She's already put in her request for this year's meal.
Just make sure that your friend knows how to cook whatever he's planning on cooking. I have some friends who don't regularly cook and have tried really ambitious meals for special events. It invariable ends up being a stressful nightmare for them. Your friend should have cooked whatever he's planning on cooking once or twice before doing it for Valentine's Day. He should also get some flowers, nice wine, and a good dessert.
Additionally, if you talk to anyone who works in a restaurant they'll tell you not to go out on Valentine's Day. Restaurants are packed and frequently aren't serving their best food. As a general rule you should never go out for brunch on Mother's Day, go to a bar on New Year's Eve, or go to dinner on Valentine's Day.
Hubby cooks breakfast for me each weekend so if he really wanted to he can make a steak and mash potatoes, but I usually love to impress my husband on valentines with a extra special meal.
We never go out to eat on either valentines or mother's day because we hate being rushed. Hubby's big day to cook for me is usually mother's day.
Up to her. Some people love restaurants, while some are restaurant phobes.
