Kissing in the Kitchen - Cooking with Passion
by Kevin T. Roberts
Northland Publishing
ISBN 0-87358-931-9
Published September 2007 - Softcover - 168 pages - $16.95

Now, I know the kitchen has more than one use, and with author/chef Kevin T. Roberts' words, "...there's nothing sexier than a man who can cook," you're in for a treat whether you're planning a first date or a romantic evening with your spouse, and whether or not it's a man doing the cooking.  Planning a meal (the thought does count) and being thoughtful is helpful when trying to impress your date.  We're also given romantic hints throughout the book, like Romantic Songs and Date Movies if you're really not that clued up.  Contents cover Breakfast in Bed; Nibbles; Hot Days, Cool Salads & Chilly Nights, Hot Soups; Birds of a Feather; Hog Heaven; Meathead; Something's Fishy; Veggin' Out; Passionate Pastas; Sexy Sauces; Guilty Pleasures, and Picnics, Parties, Movies, and Toasts.  These are some of his recipes to get your next date off to a good start: Avocado Spread; French Onion Soup (with Mozzarella, not Gruyère); Mushrooms and White Wine Chicken; Mindless Meatloaf; Green Beans and Mushrooms in Garlic Sauce, and Shrimp and Garlic Linguine with White Wine Sauce.  Pick a main course and a side dish and a dessert from this book; or a salad or soup and a main course and side dish - they work well together.  Kevin also gives us the Top 5 Guy Drinks and the Top 5 Gal Drinks to help you in the cocktail department, as well as 411 Tips for recipes and some aphrodisiac foods in case you need some help.  Could this just be the "love chef?"
Partially illustrated.  No nutritional guides.
Conclusion - This book could appeal to guys, but would work well in any kitchen.
