Recipes to create your own romance!

Set hearts racing this Valentine’s Day by skipping the crowded restaurant and creating your own delicious dinner at home. 

As we all know, a heartfelt effort trumps anything you can buy at the shops. So pop on an apron, pour yourself a glass of wine and cook a romantic meal for you and your loved one.

We think there’s a few things that make a romantic dinner truly special, like the table setting, music and most importantly; what mouth-watering meal  you create. 

So pop on the soothing sounds of Joni Mitchell or Michael Buble, and in a few simple steps you’ll have mouths watering and hearts melting.

They say we eat with our eyes, so here’s our top tips for sprucing up the dining table:

1. Lay out a fresh table cloth 
2. Polish the silver with a tea towel
3. Light some candles (bonus points if they smell good!)
4. Pop some freshly-picked flowers in a vase to add colour to the table

Some of our favourite recipes: 

• For seafood lovers: The Almond Crusted Salmon & Rosemary Potatoes will transform dinnertime from good to out-of-this-world delicious. And the Baked Chicken & Pesto Risotto is sure to impress those who prefer pasta, especially when it’s baked and sprinkled with Parmesan. 

• For those who like it hot: Our Thai Yellow Fish Curry is sure to spice things up in the kitchen and help you escape from the everyday.
• For the traditionalists: You can’t go past our Chicken Schnitzel with Rainbow Cherry Tomato Salad. With a drizzling of lemon-butter sauce, we think it’s an unbeatable combo.

The age old adage says the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, and we think these delicious dishes might just get you there!

Happy Valentine’s Day.
