- Secondly, set up your cooking space by arranging all the kitchen supplies and ingredients you'll need. Make sure the area is clean and comfortable to work in. The key is to convert your everyday cooking space into a romantic nook, so decorate a bit. Use candles and soft lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
