Great Cooking Games for Growing Closer


Cooking games are a great way to grow closer to someone. If you’re interested in a guy, for example, you already know that the best way to his heart is through his stomach, but it is more than a big meal that can make you close to the guy in your life – it’s the intimacy and fun of preparing food together.

Stand shoulder to shoulder while you slice and dice. If this sort of closeness is cramping your style or your elbow, switch your seat across the island so that you’re looking at him while you both cut and prepare items. Being able to glance at each other while working helps conversation to flow easily and well. It is this conversation that begins the real work of the cooking game relationship building exercise.

Talk about food or anything else you might find interesting that pops into your mind while you work. Look for meal ideas that include foods that cook quickly and require constant attention. This will keep you both in the kitchen working rather than moving on into other rooms of the house while something bakes for an hour, for example.
