The perfect night in on Valentines day
So you're planning to cook a romantic meal for your date on Valentine’s day. What could be better? Just the two of you alone together, good food, lots of wine, candles and romantic music playing quietly in the background. You can’t wait. But there’s just one problem – you haven’t got a clue where to start, what to cook or how to go about it. And with the big day creeping ever closer and closer, you’re beginning to wonder if maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all. Fear not, here are some pointers to help make your evening as enchanting as you dreamed it would be.
Preparation: You could take a leaf from the boy scouts book here. If you want your evening to go without any problems you need to be prepared. Don’t leave everything to the last minute, take time to think about what will make the night special for you and your date. If you want to go all out with a romantic setting, you’ll need candles, flowers and posh dishes and wine glasses. Get it all ready and set out before you start cooking so it’s one less thing for you to worry about.
Food: Firstly and most importantly, don't go over the top - know your limits. It’s better to cook one delicious main course than to stretch yourself too far and end up with a three course meal that you’ll struggle to eat and enjoy. As for what to cook it’s important to know a bit about your date’s taste, even on a first date. If you serve up a seafood banquet only to discover they're allergic to fish it’s going to be painfully embarrassing at best, and you probably won't be seeing them again any time soon! Once you know what they like and don't like you can choose a dish to impress them. There's no need to go overboard, a simple but tasty main course followed by posh ice cream or a chocolate fondue and strawberries to share would be fine – and don’t forget chocolate is said to have aphrodisiacal qualities!
Wine: Finding the right wine to go with your chosen food can be a bit of a minefield if you don’t know much about fine wines, but there are a few simple tips that should help. To find a wine that will compliment your meal, the easiest way is to match the colours – red for red meat, white for fish and so on. If you’re serving a light meal opt for a light wine, if it’s spicy go sweet. When it comes to enjoying a glass of wine with your meal it's almost as much about presentation as the wine itself. If you’re serving white wine or rose make sure it’s chilled in advance, and always serve it in your best wine glasses – good quality crystal glasses make all the difference, and they make it feel special too. Remember your date probably won’t know much more than you about quality wines, and if they've brought a bottle with them it’s likely they’ll have been worrying over it as much as you have!
