Valentine’s Day calls for more than just roses and sweet words—it’s about creating memories, and what better way to do that than through a well-planned meal? Whether you’re starting the day with breakfast in bed or ending it with a decadent dessert, these seven recipes bring love to the table. Light some candles, play some music, and let the flavours do the rest. Which dish will you try first ?
1. Crepes – A Classic French Love Story
Delicate, thin, and endlessly customizable, crepes set a romantic tone. Keep it simple with powdered sugar and lemon or go all out with Nutella and strawberries. For a savoury twist, try smoked salmon with herbed cream cheese or Cheese and Sausages. A great start to the day.
2. Waffles with Strawberry Compote – A Sweet Start to the Day
Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, waffles scream comfort. Top them with a homemade berry compote—strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries simmered with sugar and a splash of orange juice. Serve with whipped cream or maple syrup for extra indulgence.
3. Baked Apple Chicken – Cozy and Elegant
Baked apple chicken is a warm, inviting dish with sweet and savoury flavors. Juicy chicken breasts are baked with apples, thyme, broth for a cozy yet sophisticated main course. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes on the side for a meal.
4. Goat Cheese with Bacon and Dates – A Luxurious Appetizer
Every bite packed with love! Whipped soft goat cheese topped with crispy bacon, stuffed inside sweet dates, and baked until golden. The combination of creamy, salty, and sweet makes this a foolproof starter.
5. Cherry Orange Chicken – A Bold, Romantic Main
Chicken seared and then simmered in a tangy cherry and orange sauce with a touch of balsamic vinegar. The balance of sweet and tart flavors gives this dish an unforgettable richness. Pair it with garlic mashed potatoes or buttery couscous.
6. The Love Potion Cocktail – A Drink to Remember
Every romantic meal needs a special drink. The Love Potion is a blend of strawberry, ginger ale, Tequilla, and a hint of lime, served in a chilled glass. Garnish with fresh berries for an extra touch of romance.
7. Cherry Chocolate Pudding & A Chocolate Dessert Board – Sweet Endings
For dessert, go all in with cherry chocolate pudding—rich, velvety, and packed with dark chocolate and tart cherries.
Pair it with a chocolate dessert board featuring chocolate-covered strawberries, truffles, cookies, and a drizzle of salted caramel.
