Grandma overused the food phrase, but the food old adage reignites a new conversation. According to Knorr, singles crave a real connection, and cooking together ignites that spark.
Is a plate of food the way to a person’s heart? Time and again, food creates connections. Whether it is a taste of nostalgia, embracing another culture or an invitation to get to know someone, a meal is that starting point.
Recently, Knorr commissioned a survey that found Gen Z and Millennials are burnt out by dating apps. Staring at screens does not offer meaningful connections. Instead, they want to get into the kitchen and whip up some flavorful moments.
According to Nicky Neerscholten, Global Head of Digital and Masterbrand at Knorr, “Our research proves that simply highlighting your love of cooking can dramatically boost your chances of landing a date. Food has always been the universal language of love, so if you’re looking for sparks join the #ServingSingles movement and let your signature dish do the talking.”
Is a Home Cooked Meal the Better Choice for Valentine’s Day?
While restaurants tempt with elegantly plated meals, the real romance comes from the home kitchen. Based on Knorr’s survey, couples looking to take their relationship to the next level should cook at home this Valentine’s Day.
Of course, a home cook meal shows effort, but it is more than just a well-executed dish. The meal is a form of communication. From showing that you listened to her favorite food to sharing a piece of family culture, the plate speaks volumes. A thoughtful presentation ensures that no one will be silent at the table.
Additionally, that special meal can be the thread that connects a couple throughout their time together. It becomes part of their collective story. Even if the potatoes are lumpy, the steak is slightly under and even if the salt was heavy handed, those memories season the highs and lows of a relationship that stood the test of time.
This Valentine’s Day, give the gift that shows you want to make a love connection. A home cooked meal will be remembered far longer than a hurried table for two in the corner of a busy restaurant.
