Winter · Low budget
Wish dinner
Cook a simple dinner together and each write down three things you'd like to do this year.
AT THE TABLE
Food and drink dates
Choosing, tasting or cooking together turns food into an activity.
Make the most of it.
You don't need to organise an elaborate dinner. A mini tasting, one new recipe or a route with two small stops naturally makes the conversation lighter.
- Ask about allergies and preferences before shopping.
- Agree on a total budget, even if everyone is bringing something.
- Make preparing part of the date instead of doing everything alone.
