MSN Dating & PersonalsSuddenly Single:

But here’s a new twist on the food-love equation: Several companies are betting that if you get single people together, teach them how to cook dinner — and let them enjoy the results together — you’ll do more than boost culinary skills. You may just heat up their love life, too.

Chicago TribuneHey, Good-Looking, Want To Stir My Cookie Batter?By Monica Eng- Tribune Staff Reporter

Sizing up potential mates while trying to look cute, sound witty and chew demurely is hard and dangerous work. So you’d think that adding hot ovens, boiling oil and sharp knives to the equation would be a bad idea.
