Heartfelt Starters: Love-Infused Caprese Skewers
Kick off your romantic feast with a delightful plate of Caprese skewers. Thread cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves onto heart-shaped toothpicks. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and sophistication. I LOVE this idea!
Passionate Pasta: Prawn and Asparagus Linguine with Lemon Zest
Elevate your pasta game with a prawn and asparagus linguine. The vibrant colours and flavours of asparagus combined with succulent prawns create a dish that’s both visually appealing and palate-pleasing. Finish it off with a sprinkle of lemon zest for a zesty twist. If you are vegetarian like me add some Halloumi instead of Prawns.
Heartwarming Soup: Creamy Tomato Bisque with Heart-Shaped Croutons
Cosy up with a bowl of creamy tomato bisque. Cut heart shapes from slices of crusty bread to make charming croutons. These little touches turn a simple soup into a heartwarming prelude to the main course. Love the heart shaped idea.
Romantic Salad: Strawberry Spinach Salad with Candied Pecans
Refresh your palate with a strawberry spinach salad. Toss together fresh baby spinach, sliced strawberries, and candied pecans for a delightful combination of sweetness and crunch. Drizzle with a light vinaigrette for an extra burst of flavour.
Perfect Pizza: Heart Shaped Pizza
For a luxurious main course, consider indulging in a homemade heart shaped pizza with your favourite toppings. I love the idea of cutting mozzarella into heart shapes too, just to add to the romantic theme.
Love on a Plate: Heart-Shaped Ravioli with Ricotta and Spinach
Create a pasta masterpiece with heart-shaped ravioli stuffed with a delectable mixture of ricotta and spinach. Top it off with a light tomato or Alfredo sauce for an extra layer of flavour and visual appeal.
Sweet Endings: Chocolate Fondue for Two
No Valentine’s Day meal is complete without a decadent dessert. Set the stage for a sweet ending with a chocolate fondue for two. Dip strawberries, marshmallows, and chunks of cake into velvety melted chocolate for a shared indulgence. Great idea and easy to make.
Cocktail Romance: Raspberry Prosecco Spritzers
Toast to love with a romantic raspberry prosecco spritzer. Muddle fresh raspberries in a glass, add a splash of raspberry liqueur, and top with chilled prosecco. Garnish with a twist of lemon for a refreshing and celebratory drink.
