mood: thai them up

• think of the visual explosives of thai decor: fuschia, red, purple, greens and gold... these colours will help you decide which flowers to choose (hollyhocks, ginger flowers, huge banana leaves and birds of paradise...)
  

how to thai them up

sight: invest in a few dishes and props to set the scene. some bowls and serving dishes from an asian grocer are very inexpensive; a painted silk lantern; some chopsticks; a banana leaf lining the dishes or as a table runner and the petals of a banana flower to serve the potstickers in...these touches lend the meal a visual authenticity and show that you made some effort

sound: click here for a playlist that is romantic with forays into a world of music which is a little foreign, always lovely and never intrusive

touch: if there is one room which is always tight on space, it is the kitchen...so make sure that you get your date in there with you! have the potsticker wrappers and filling out and cosy up to each other as you make the little dumplings...heat things up as you brush and bump over the frying pan...instant intimacy 

taste: fresh herbs, a little chili: this meal is a flavor explosion

smell: exotica erotica!
