It is important to remember that men are very biased towards food and are often well versed in food. You are lucky if you immediately learn about his culinary passions. But do not worry, a man can be instilled with taste, the main thing is to do it wisely. For example, if a loved one says with confidence that he does not like fish, then this is not an argument for a good housewife. It is important to find the right recipe and turn on your ingenuity to disguise this or that product. Let the first step be to prepare a soup or salad with a small amount of fish. You can try to kill the taste of fried fish with a contrasting sauce, such as cheese.

The mood with which men sit at the table is also important. If he is irritated, then even the most delicious dishes will not always produce the desired effect. Then you need to think first about the surroundings in order to create a good mood, and then about food. You can arrange a romantic dinner for your beloved, besides it is very important not to aggravate the situation yourself. If a man asked to fry a piece of meat with blood, and received a well-done steak, he may not express his displeasure, but this will definitely not improve his mood.

The most important thing - do not forget: a man loves to eat not only satisfying, but also tasty. However, each of us needs our own food - one that will be not only pleasant, but also understandable. And addictions, whether it be meat, fish, vegetables or something sweet, are different for everyone. The main thing is not to forget about improvisation, product compatibility and practicality of use. Personally, despite my profession and a huge selection of products, I still remain an adherent of home cooking. I would not exchange my favorite cutlets with mashed potatoes and Olivier salad for any foie gras and truffles.

To do this, chop the onion and garlic and fry over medium heat with olive oil until the onion is transparent, then add the rice and continue to fry for about 2 minutes, then pour in the wine, boil a little and cook the risotto over medium heat, periodically adding hot broth (to make your risotto it turned out more tender, do not be lazy to heat the broth).

An ideal side dish is the most delicate mashed potatoes, to which a few drops of truffle oil can be added for flavor.
