"  Have you ever pulled a Mrs. Doubtfire and pretended to cook a meal that was actually takeout? Although this ploy seemed to work in the movie, there is one problem that could foil a fake cook&amp;#039;s plans. Guests might get suspicious when they wander into the kitchen and find that there are no dirty dishes. According to The Huffington Post, a UK restaurant and delivery service has the answer to every fake cook&amp;#039;s problems. Not only do they deliver dinner, but Housebites includes a special extra touch that &amp;quot;proves&amp;quot; the meal was prepared at home. Customers can pay an extra fee for a service that allows them to pretend &amp;quot;they have slaved away at a hot stove more convincingly by delivering dirty pans alongside the food,&amp;quot; a press release explains.
