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.
