They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. And according to author Lana Vidler, the age-old axiom is definitely true. Hence she’s penned the ultimate tome titled “Meals Men Love”. I sat down with the author for an exclusive interview as to exactly how to woo a man through his stomach …
What do you think of the statement, “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach?”
Entirely agree. A well fed man is a happy man.
* What do you think is the #1 meal that men love?
From my research the average Australian male likes his Red Meat (e.g ‘I’m a Hot Piece of Steak’) & Potatoes (‘Cheese + Potatoes = A Happy Man’)with Chocolate Mousse (‘Chocolate Mousse – to the Max’) for dessert. Chicken Schnitzel (‘First Dinner Chicken Schnitzel’) and Lemon Tart (‘First Dinner Lemon Tart’) a very close second.
* Do you think men appreciate a woman who can cook?
Yes. Men (like everyone) love to be appreciated and looked after. Cooking is caring.
* Do you think that old-fashioned values where women cook for a man have gone out the window, especially since career women barely have time to cook for themselves?
I don’t think that it is old-fashioned to cook and I feel the modern woman is clever and competent enough to combine both.
Meals Men Love was written with the career woman in mind, hence the recipes are easy and all ingredients available from the local supermarket. Meals Men Love takes the guess work out of what meal your man will love to eat.
* Do you think men enjoy doing the cooking themselves?
Some men do. But the majority of men are always appreciative when a meal is cooked for them.
* Other top three meals that men love?
- Rissoles (‘Everyman Loves Rissoles’)
- Sausages (‘Saucy Sausages’)
- Lasagne (‘Land a Man Lasagne’).
What meal does your man love? Do you think you can woo a man through your cooking?
