Three Ways To Seem Culinarily Advanced For Your Age

1. Serve unusually shaped fruit. Extra points for the buddha pear:

2. Refer to the Food Network chefs by first name only. Dish the dirt like their your close dear friends and personal confidants. Spill on Giada and how she's always over annunciating when talking about pasta or how about the time Alton went sleeveless and revealed his honeybee tattoo. People will wonder. (They may just assume you watch too much Food Network, but they will wonder no less.) Here are the pros and cons if you're not yet sold.

3. Add cinnamon or coconut to your dishes. This will blow people's minds. Also, give your dishes extraordinarily long names like Grilled Corn and Tomato Sweet Onion Salad with Fresh Basil Dressing and Crumbled Blue Cheese or Broiled Double Thick Lamb Rib Chops with Slicked Up Store Brought Mint Jelly Sauce. Let no ingredient go unacknowledged.
