I've been married for the last two years to a wonderful man and i sometimes cook on weekends special dishes for him and i really enjoy doing it, in fact i love it. I guess that's the key, enjoy while you cook, there's no way something can go wrong if you really enjoy it. Risottos, appetizers, desserts. The turkey i baked for my friends on New Year's eve 2006, they just loved it!!! i once tried to impress my boyfriend-then/husband-now with some raviolis with a "three cheeses" sauce (he just loves cheese). The cheese was perfectly melted and everything was running smoothly until i poured cold stock in to the hot sauce.....it became a hard ball of cheese that i never could melt again and had to throw it all away!! it was the first time i was cooking something for him so i was really embarrased!! lol....fortunately i had my mom's meat sauce on hand.
