By Rocco 'Boss Hog' Loosbrock

As each of you know the economy has been slumping which has forced many of us to eat out less often, in fact I am being told that many of your are preparing gourmet meals for your eating enjoyment at home, So men how are you wooing potential dates if you have less dollars in your wallet?

With that being said guys dating + romance doesn't = Spending $$. Cooking a romantic meal at home can allow you to keep your social life, while keeping your checking account in balance as well.

As the owner of a gourmet food company I believe that you can enjoy a great home cooked meal and on a budget, take High Liner Foods who just released their newest line of products, Sea Cuisine, which offers restaurant quality seafood at home. These recipes were created by executive chef, Owen Tilley. Recently I spoke to Chef Tilley who has provided me with some meal suggestions and plating techniques to enhance your eating enjoyment and your love life. Chef Owen Tilley, recently signed on as Executive Chef and Director of Culinary at High Liner Foods. Chef Tilley has cooked for big names such as the Kennedy/Shriver family, James Taylor, Lenny Kravitz, Bill Cosby, and the great Julia Childs.
