Cook Something New

Cook something new at home. Pick a dish you've never made, shop together, cook it and rate it.

Choose a meal neither of you would ever normally make: a cuisine you've never cooked, a recipe that looks a little too ambitious, or a dish from a place you want to visit. Shop for the ingredients together, put on a playlist you both love, and cook it side by side. Plate it like a restaurant, take a photo of the finished dish, then each rate it out of 10 and decide whether it earns a spot in your regular rotation.

More about this mission

Tips for pulling off an ambitious dish: read the whole recipe before you shop, and chop and measure everything before you turn on the stove. Chefs call it mise en place, French for "everything in its place." Recipes with around ten ingredients or fewer are the sweet spot for a first try.

Make it a theme: cook a dish from somewhere you want to travel, and pick music from that place to match. If it flops, order takeout and laugh about it; that counts as a memory too.
