Romantic Valentine’s Day Menu

By

If you have the time and you want to prepare a delicious meal for your partner this Valentine’s Day, here are a few suggestions. I also included some alternatives. Pick the one your heart desires.

Soup

Lavender Pumpkin Soup is a relaxing and hearty dish that you will surely enjoy.

Apricot Soup is a special treat. It is rich, creamy with a hint of fruit.

Salad

Peppered Camembert and Nectarine Salad “has an unusual blend of tastes and textures”.

Fruity Bacon and Greens is a fruity salad with delicious bacon bits.

Appetizer

Tuna Carpaccio with Alfalfa and Capers is a personal favourite. It is a light and flavourful given the fresh ingredients.

Spiced Fish Kebabs are “tasty skewers” that should be served right off the grill. Use scallops or shrimps if you wish.

Entree

Champagne Shrimp Pasta is a delectable dish with a hint of sweetness. The champagne compliments the shrimps perfectly.

Lamb and Vegetable Pilaf is a comfort food that rocks as a main course. The meaty taste of the lamb and the soft vegetables make this rice dish awesome.

Dessert

Chili Chocolate Fondue is a chocolate recipe with a twist. It is sweet, a little hot and definitely extraordinary.

Black Forest Roulade “is the adult version of the classic jam roll”. Cherries and brandy area perfect combination.

Drinks

Luscious Cocktails is a collection of creamy cocktails you will enjoy

Pomegranate Cocktails use a fruit in season and it makes simple drinks more interesting.

Make sure you set the mood by keeping the lights dimmed, light some candles or aromatherapy oils, buy some flowers and decorate the area with petals. Don’t forget to choose nice music to go along with that.

Valentines Day Menus

By

Being able to cook for you other half is always a good thing to be able to do – it’s cheaper than eating out, the both of you can get involved if wanted and you can have much more fun too!

Valentines Day

If you’re trying to impress a new beau, or cooking a classic dinner for an old flame then look no further; these meal ideas will be a sure-fire hit, regardless of your ideal outcome!

For the rest of this week, there’s going to be a few different posts going up on different menus – based around the time taken to cook (i.e., last minute ‘oops I forgot’ menu or big and extravagant), the different ingredients and level of cooking skill required, so hopefully there’ll be something for everyone.

Some of the menus will have a slightly modern twist – not everything has to be candles and soft music after all! For best results, practice the dishes before you serve it, so that you can make sure that there are no hidden surprises, and that you’ll like the tastes and textures that are in the meal. And, of course, so that you can seem much more confident whilst explaining how you lightly glazed the vegetables before roasting them, or how you marinated the meat for two or three hours to improve the flavours, textures and aromas in the dish.
