What is CookandDate?

CookandDate is one of, if not the best way to meet likeminded singles today…
Of course I’m bias as to why CookandDate is such a great way to meet potential mates because I am the founder, however time and time again we get so much positive feedback that we can’t think otherwise.
The concept is simple, get a group of singles together (average 16) in a private kitchen, with a preset menu and have them mingle and cook together before enjoying the wonderful meal.
We advertise 10-15 year age categories so that people can choose an appropriate age group based on whom they are looking to meet …
Events are typically 3-4 hours long…I or another host/hostess is always present to help with the flow of the evening.
It feels like we invited you to a dinner party amongst friends, smiles & laughter a must.
After the activity if there are any interests, you can either exchange contact info at the event, or wait for us to send our thank you email with usernames from the site, you can then msg people through the chat function.
People like this option because it’s a little less intrusive and then can plan a date without exchanging any personal info before they are really sure.
We host about 40 events every year in Montreal!

What is CookandDate?
Cristina Mucciardi is a 30 something year old entrepreneur that always had the dream of starting her own business. In the past she has tried importing clothing lines from Europe, starting a chain of tanning salons and investing in a small beauty company out of Ohio.
At one point, she stumbled upon a chef in France that had his own cooking school where once a month he would give cooking classes as a singles event, and she thought, “WOW she would do that!!! What an unintimidating way to meet other singles without feeling desperate or spending time in the “bar scene” which never seemed to work out right…”
She launched her site www.cookanddate.com in Jan 2008. The service has now expanded to include personalized matchmaking, appearance and etiquette coaching to name a few. CookandDate has appeared in the media including On television: Entertainment Tonight Canada, CTV, Global Television, TVA, Radio-Canada, CJNT, In print: The Gazette, La Presse, Clin D'Oeil, Summum Girl, On the radio: The Score Toronto, Virgin Radio 96, CKOI, Q92, CHOM, CJAD, On websites/blogs: MSN, About.com, FranceTop, Canoe, SingleEdition, Watchmojo, Sweetspot.ca
Cristina is getting married MAY 2107 to a great man and more importantly her best friend…
