It might be a good idea to mention what you plan to cook to give her the opportunity to decline if it's something she cannot tolerate for whatever reason. At the very least, she would know whether to bring a complementary white or red wine if she knew what was being served. That's how I would handle it if I was making him dinner.
Plus how he responds to minor frustrations.
How carefully he considers your preferences and feelings.
How he manages his home/kitchen.
How he takes compliments.
That kind of thing.
That's a great answer.

Indeed! Hope the guys reading this pay attention. There's some gold from the ladies in this thread!
My husband cooked for me on like our 5th date. He was a wonderful host and very proud of his cooking. I ate it and told him how wonderful it was..... I married him anyway.
In a lot of ways I don't think connections are made on the successes, but on the failures. How you handle it and the fun you can have with it.

Maybe I'm ol fashioned but I'd be reluctant to ask a woman over for me to cook for her because it just has a "Netflix and chill" vibe to it. We'd have to be an item and not just super casual for me to do that sort of thing.
To answer the question I'd find out if she'd be open to your "specialty" and go from there. LOL, I like to dabble around the kitchen and have a few things I like to whip up. Hopefully said lady has an open palate.

Best of luck in the cooking endeavors.
I am old fashioned like that too. Somehow it implies a certain amount of intimacy that, on my part at least, comes later than just a date.
I think by the time my ex offered to cook the first time for me we had been out enough times that he had a fairly good idea of my likes and dislikes. I believe he said something along the lines of "I make a pretty mean meatloaf, would you like to come over this weekend and let me fix dinner for you?"
I'd prefer kind of both. Blow me away with your skills, but get an idea of the foods I like first just to make sure your specialty isn't full of stuff I hate, like onions or ranch dressing. I wouldn't want to have to choke something down just to be polite.
My husband cooked for me soon after we first met. It wasn’t a date, but he was trying to impress me.
