Frequently Asked Questions
How did you come up with this idea?
Actually, I had this idea about 14
years ago. I just sat on it while I worked on other projects. As those
went by the wayside, I decided that I'd better give my DVD's a try. I
knew if I didn't try it, I'd regret not having taken the chance. There
are people who thought I shouldn't take the chance, but many more
friends who encouraged me to give it a go and have been a great help to
me!
Why do we need to cook dinner to impress a
woman?
We
can't all be babe magnets like, say, George Clooney, Brad Pitt or
Stephen Colbert. Some of us who are less than gifted in certain areas
must resort to other means to attract a woman. Cooking has always
impressed my dates. I mean, I try to act sensitive and all, but
sometimes they can see through that... so cooking them a nice meal gets
me points...
Were you a chef
before you created this DVD?
Nuh uh. Just a regular guy.
Where'd you learn
to cook?
My Mom. And I guess I
just picked it up as I went along. There are plenty of recipes
available on TV and the internet. Sometimes I see one I like and try
it. Sometimes I change it. Sometimes ideas just pop into my head... I
mean recipe ideas! I got my idea for Spicy Corn from the vendors
at the county fair. They sell corn-on-the-cob and offer fresh lemon,
hot sauce and grated parmesan cheese as toppings. I just thought I'd
combine all of those, with a little butter, in a pan and it turned out
great!
Why cook to
impress women?
Hey! I gotta do something to
impress them!
Can't you just impress them with money?
Cars? Something else?
I don't have those other things.
If you've got 'em, use 'em! But even if you do have them, cooking them
a nice meal will always get you more points! Come on! If you've got
all that other stuff, you need to let 'em think you're a sensitive guy!
How difficult are
the recipes?
Not. I made all of
the meals on my DVD's with food I bought at my local, Southern
California supermarket, and I cooked everything in my own little kitchen
in my apartment, so you can too!
What if you never
cooked before?
Easy. As I just told you above,
all of the ingredients are easy to find and I'm not using a kitchen with
all kinds of sophisticated devices. And, as the title says, these
recipes are simple! Plus, I've included printed recipes for you to take
back into the kitchen with you. Once you watch the demonstration of a
recipe on the DVD, you can take the printed recipe to the store with you
and buy all of the ingredients. Then take the printed recipe back into
the kitchen with you and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Do you ask her
ahead of time what she likes to eat?
Yes, you can. I often
do. There are so many people out there today with incredibly varying
tastes and requirements. Once they accept my invitation to dinner I
say, "Any likes or dislikes I should know about? Anything you don't
eat?" That usually tells me all I need to know. And on each DVD I
have a main course with beef, fish, chicken and pork, so you're covered!
What is the
maximum number of DVD's I can buy?
Well, I guess you can
order 100. If you want to order one, that's OK, too. But if you want
to order 100, who am I to stop you? A thousand? Well, fine. They do
make great gifts!
But women already
know how to cook, how can my cooking impress them?
You know, some women
today, especially some career women, are too busy to cook. Some
actually can't boil water. But, like guys who are too busy with their
careers, a home-cooked meal is a real treat. Plus, as I've already said
many times, taking the time to cook for them shows them that you care!
How can you beat that?! You don't have to become a chef. Just try a
few of these recipes, make her a salad, a main course and a dessert. If
that goes well (and I'm telling you, it will!) you can try
another on your next date!
