A heartwarming story about a man who expresses his affection through cooking, culminating in a surprise birthday dinner of the author's favorite red braised pork.
Story
The Taste of Love: The Man Who Loves to Cook. A man who truly loves you won't ask you to diet, a truth I now deeply believe. I used to be insecure about my waistline, but ever since I met a man who loves to cook, my appetite has become an expression of my love. Secret red braised pork was once my absolute favorite dish, though I had given it up for being too rich. On my birthday, after presenting me with a mango cake, he brought out a bowl of beautifully glossy, red braised pork. 'What a cheesy gift,' I said, but I absolutely loved it.
