I realize, of course, that many men are expert cooks. There are probably more male chefs than female chefs in the restaurant business. So if you feel the urge to get fancy, or are a veteran cook, by all means go for any elaborate fare that suits your lady’s palette. She won’t say no to your duck a l’orange and chocolate soufflé. However, if you’re a true novice, start simple. Try some of these ultra-basic preparations.

Pasta. Boil water. Take pasta out of package. Cook for length of time noted on package—too long and you’ve got limp noodles. Toss with olive oil or tomato sauce. (Paul Newman can help with the latter—his jarred sauces will make any red-blooded woman swoon.)

Roast chicken. Buy a Perdue Oven Stuffer roaster. Turn the oven on to the suggested temperature on the package. Roast. A little thermometer pops up when it’s done. Carve and serve with green beans (microwave some frozen ones) and rice (rice is prepared somewhat similarly to pasta).

Homemade pizza. Yes, you can order a pizza, but it’s a nice alternative to buy a pre-made pizza shell at the grocery store. Sprinkle the shell with shredded mozzarella and add all her favorite toppings—for example, olives, broccoli florets, or sun-dried tomatoes.

An entrée salad. Start with a bag of pre-washed mixed greens and adorn with her favorite veggies. Festoon with croutons, and if she likes nuts add some slivered almonds. Now turn it into a meal by topping it with sliced chicken or canned or fresh tuna.

Fresh fish. Marinate a filet of your lady’s favorite fish in equal parts white wine, lemon juice, and olive oil. Sprinkle with a touch of dried rosemary. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

BLTs. Even a nicely made sandwich will be much appreciated. Grill some Canadian bacon or turkey bacon (both have less fat and calories than traditional bacon strips). Now add the “T” (that’s tomatoes) and the “L” (that’s love—and, oh yes, lettuce, too). And don’t forget to add the mayo.
