“Recipes to Seduce” is a work of non-fiction which combines dating tips with cooking advice. This work outlines basic strategies for daily life which can improve one’s chances of meeting and keeping a significant other. The first section focuses on grooming and provides detailed instructions for shaving as well as providing advice on hair and clothing. The second section continues in the same vein by discussing personal hygiene issues such as body odour, nails and teeth. Next Britton focuses on the date itself by offering tips for good dating manners in various settings. He suggests that a good way to woo a woman is to cook dinner for her, thus a good portion of the work is devoted to recipes and menus for things such as “Simple Carbonara,” “The Good Morning Breakfast,” and “Hangover Cure Cocktail.” In addition to the recipes themselves, Britton provides general cooking advice along with a list of essential kitchen equipment and pantry staples. The work concludes with thoughts about conversation and a general reminder to treat one’s date with respect.
