I have seen that show with men as the cookers. One of them was a very cocky student.
I'd probably go with something like.
* Soup, but with something fresh sprinkled on the top * Something that can have sat in the oven for a while. Lasagna, or sausage and lentil stew, oh, or my bourginion pie - pies are always good and impressive though that can get a bit heavy. * Lemon meringue pie, or something chocolatey like chocolate pots.
I think that doing last-minute fussy stuff would make better TV particularly if there's better chances of it all going wrong. Then again, even with simple stuff I still managed to set fire to a tea-towel when last cooking for a date.
