a person, especially a man, who uses cooking skills to impress friends and potential partners
I recently heard the word ‘gastrosexual’, which means someone who deploys their culinary aptitude to attract romantic partners.

The term gastrosexual is new for 2008, emerging from a report commissioned by PurAsia, a subsidiary of food company Mars Inc. With research revealing a growing trend towards keen and accomplished male cooks, the expression grew out of the realisation that men should be given more consideration as a target market.
