How to plan the perfect foodie date
For couples who bond over food, the meal itself can be the whole date. Turn eating into an activity: a street-food crawl of small plates, a cooking class, a build-your-own cheese board, or a head-to-head bake-off with a winner. Trying a cuisine neither of you has had before gives you a shared first, and recreating a favourite restaurant dish at home is a surprisingly fun challenge. Plan around dietary preferences up front so the night is all enjoyment and no last-minute compromise.
