What to cook for a romantic dinner? What to cook for a man on February 14.

The most romantic winter holiday, Valentine's Day, makes us all do cute little silly things. Lovers give each other sweets, flowers, funny cards with pink hearts, funny gifts and all their tenderness. And it is our tenderness, love and care that is the most important and desired gift on this day. And what better way to emphasize our care than a festive table set with our own hands, decorated with delicious homemade dishes! Today we invite you to think together and decide what to cook for February 14th.

So what is the difference between the festive table of Valentine's Day and any other festive table? First of all, the fact that our table is laid with you only for two. There is no place for friends and relatives, comrades and neighbors at this dinner. At this table, the third is always superfluous. After all, our holiday is for two lovers, for two loving hearts, a romantic and intimate holiday. And it is on creating an intimate atmosphere that we will focus all our attention.

A starch-white or fiery-red tablecloth, beautiful tableware and sparkling crystal glasses, candles, incense, cute trinkets and jewelry - all this is designed to emphasize the beauty of the tenderness of the unity of two loving hearts. And the dishes of our table should fully correspond to this romantic moment. Give up heavy fried foods, forget salads drowned in mayonnaise, don’t even think about greasy cakes, decorated with pathos oil roses. No, no and NO. Today's dinner should be light, like the very breath of love, passionate, like the first kiss, tender, like the look of loved ones. Spicy snacks will emphasize the piquancy of the moment and kindle the fire of passion, a hot dish of fish, seafood or lightly cooked meat will fill you with energy, desserts with fresh fruits and berries will hint that your dinner is just a prelude to the symphony of the night of lovers, and a glass of wine will turn your head and will add sparkle to your loving eyes.

Today, on the eve of St. Valentine's Day, "Culinary Eden" has prepared for you a selection of recipes for the most delicious and savory dishes that will surely tell even the most inexperienced lovers in the art of cooking what to cook on February 14th.

1. A spicy Thai pineapple snack is the best way to emphasize your passion, and preparing such an appetizer is as easy as shelling pears. Peel and cut into small pieces half a ripe pineapple. Sprinkle pineapple with lemon juice, sprinkle with red hot pepper to taste and lightly salt. Roll each piece of pineapple successively in very finely chopped mint and cilantro leaves, and then place on a dish. A few drops of Thai fish sauce or soy sauce will emphasize the piquancy of this exotic snack.

2. A vibrant Mexican avocado appetizer - guacamole - will spice up your holiday menu. Peel 2 ripe avocados, cut into small cubes and drizzle with lime or lemon juice. Finely chop one small red onion.

Don't forget to dim the lights in the room before bringing in your flaming dessert!

9. Valentine's Day is a holiday when we can afford small stupid things. Let's do a nice stupid thing and buy strawberries in the winter, since modern stores are always happy to help us with this. And from fresh strawberries you can cook one of the most delicious and, without a doubt, the most romantic desserts - strawberries in chocolate. 300 gr. Rinse the strawberries gently in cool water and dry thoroughly on a paper towel. Thread each berry onto a cocktail stick or wooden toothpick. In a water bath, melt 450 gr. milk or dark chocolate, add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of softened butter and mix thoroughly until a completely homogeneous mass is obtained. Gently holding the stick, dip each berry into the chocolate mass and place on a greased sheet of parchment paper. Put the finished dessert in the refrigerator until the chocolate has completely solidified.

10.

Don't forget to defrost and clean the shrimp!

On a holiday:

Waiting for a beautiful lady, start with the preparation of dessert, it will take only 10 minutes. When ready, put the cream in the refrigerator.

I hope you didn't forget to turn on the oven? Put the form with the fish in the oven (if you didn’t prepare it yesterday, you can do it now, it won’t take long). Set the timer for 15 minutes - the fish will cook quickly! Grill vegetables.

And here is your lady! Shall we put on a little cooking show? Fry shrimp, cut fruit and avocado, arrange everything artistically on a plate. Salad ready!

Menu for February 14 No. 2 in a classic style

A man cooks for his beloved

Action plan:

Two days before the gala dinner:

Let's start with champagne! More precisely, from the preparation of jelly from this noble drink. Believe me, it will be difficult for you to come up with a more spectacular dessert. The cooking process is very logical and understandable, so you just need to carefully follow the instructions in the recipe. Strawberries can be used frozen, but some beautiful fresh berries for decoration are still better to find. Champagne and strawberries are already a holiday. And champagne and strawberries in winter are a holiday squared.

The day before the holiday:

Let's make punch syrup. The punch itself can be mixed directly during the gala dinner. But in order not to bother with squeezing the juice and rubbing the zest, it is better to take care of a small homemade preparation in advance. Pour vodka over lemon syrup - nothing will be done with it in a day, only it will infuse better.

Also on this day, it is worth making a preparation for hot food in advance. Stuff chicken breasts with blue cheese, wrap in bacon and refrigerate. You can immediately place the blanks in a baking dish. Then on February 14 you will only have to put it in the oven half an hour before serving hot.

On a holiday:

Let's do a review. Do we already have dessert? There is! Chicken languishing in the oven? It languishes like a cute little one. Punch is already on the table and is bubbling with champagne and celebration. Is there really nothing more to be done? Did you forget the salad? You don't want to deprive your lady of the opportunity to see the great Chef at work, do you? For this purpose, we left the salad “for dessert”, if you know what we mean. So let's create a show! We quickly and confidently rub the celery root and apple and effectively, for a long time, and thoroughly mix the dressing. We warn you right away - there are three minutes of work there. But even a little acting skills will help you turn this process into a real cooking show. Don't forget the whisk! Mixing salad dressing with a fork is bad manners.

Grocery list:

Chicken breast - 4 pcs.
Blue cheese - 50 g
Grain mustard - 4 tsp
Bacon - 20 slices (raw smoked)
Celery root - 300 g
Apple - 1 pc.
Yogurt - 150 g
Grain mustard - 2 tsp
Walnuts - 3 tbsp. l.
Sesame - 1 tbsp. l.
Greens - 1 bunch
Strawberries - 200 g
Champagne - 550 ml.

Lemon - 3 pcs.
Vodka - 1/3 tbsp.

Menu:

Action plan:

And for dessert, we will cook honey cakes. In combination with ginger tea, they will inflame feelings :) By the way, gingerbread cookies can be prepared in 3-4 days and even in a week. But then hide and put a reminder on the phone on the evening of February 14, where to look for them :)

Menu for February 14 No. 4 “The way with the heart of a man”

A woman cooks for a loved one

Menu:

	Sweet and sour red wine

Action plan:

The day before the holiday:

All preparations will be done the day before. In principle, eclairs can be prepared in two days, but in this case there is always a risk that by February 14 they will disappear somewhere. If you have iron willpower and the refrigerator is locked with a combination lock, then prepare the eclairs on Wednesday. By Friday, they will only taste better.

And on Thursday we will prepare the main course. Moreover, to save time and effort, we will cook both hot and side dishes at once. We rub the pork tenderloin with spices, sprinkle with nuts and put in a heat-resistant form. In the same form we put the potatoes in sesame, prepared in accordance with the recipe.

Menu for February 14 No. 5 in Mediterranean style

For two - both cook

Cooking a gala dinner can be the main "trick" of the whole evening. A culinary party for two is a great option for spending time together. Turn on the music and let your imagination run wild. For such an evening, you can choose recipes for dishes more complicated, because together, as you know, nothing is scary.

Menu:

	Champagne or your favorite wine

Action plan:

Remove and defrost the shrimp in advance (you can transfer them from the freezer to the refrigerator in the morning so that they will defrost by the evening).

We start the culinary party with the preparation of a salad. Quickly and cheerfully, in four hands, we cut tomatoes and mozzarella. We prepare aromatic sauce and collect salad.

We put a pot of spaghetti water on the fire. Now clean and cut the shrimp in half. It remains only to prepare the sauce together!

Serve on the table and enjoy joint culinary creations!

And when you're satisfied and rested, it's time to prepare a chocolate and coffee dessert. Melt chocolate in milk, brew coffee and whip cream. Pour in hot chocolate, then coffee, decorate with cream and delight each other with a fragrant drink!

Grocery list:

Pasta - 2 servings
Shrimps - 12 pcs.

Action plan:

At the beginning of the evening, we lay out a package of puff pastry without yeast from the freezer. In two hours, when it comes to dessert, you will thank yourself for such foresight.

We start the culinary party with the preparation of a salad. Quickly and cheerfully, in four hands, we cut apples, kiwi and avocados. We collect the salad and immediately treat them to each other. Toasted baguette slices are a great accompaniment. In general, the concept of this dinner can be described in a nutshell: "cooked and eaten." Thus, there is no need to wait for the moment when a complex five-course dinner is completely ready. They made a salad and ate it right away. The holiday has begun!

So, having slightly quenched your appetite with the help of a juicy and fresh salad, let's start cooking cannelloni. The distribution of roles will help speed up the process. While one is frying the minced meat, the second is brewing the bechamel. And you can stuff the tubes with minced meat together - it's more fun. Cannelloni are baked for forty minutes. By this time, you will just be hungry again.

And finally, the finale of any dinner is dessert! When you start brewing mulled wine for pears, the most important thing is not to taste the whole thing and leave a little for dessert itself. Because the aroma will walk around the kitchen so that ... In general, we warned you!

Option number one

Salmon and chicken would be good for the main dish. For dessert - beautiful ice cream, and as the end of the evening - an exotic cocktail.

Chicken rolls with cheese

You will need:
chicken fillet;
vegetable oil;
feta cheese, feta cheese or Adyghe;
pepper;
seasonings or a mixture of herbs to taste.

The meat must be cleaned of fat and cut into thin pieces, no more than 1 cm thick. The pieces must be covered with cling film and gently beat off with a hammer on one side. If the pieces turned out to be large, you can cut them in half, and then grease with vegetable oil. Salt if the cheese is bland. Add pepper and a mixture of herbs to taste. Then we cut the cheese into pieces and wrap it in chicken meat in the form of a roll. Wrap the top of the roll with bacon. We put all the rolls in a mold and sprinkle with olive or other oil and add pepper. Rolls are baked for 50 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees.

"Royal Love"

Would need:
slightly salted salmon;
avocado;
lemon;
vegetable oil;
spices.

The salmon fillet is cut into thin strips about 10 cm long and no more than 3 cm thick. We make stuffing for fish. Avocados need to be peeled and ground in a blender. Add lemon juice, spices and olive oil to the avocado puree. Then beat in a blender again. After that, spread the resulting puree on pieces of salmon - one teaspoon for each strip of fish. We make a roll and fasten with a skewer. The dish is ready.

"Unique" ice cream

Would need:
dark chocolate (bar 200 g);
sugar (100 g);
cream (200 g, high fat);
coffee liqueur (about 50 g);
a pack of gelatin;
two tablespoons of cocoa;
vanilla.

The chocolate is crushed in a blender, and the cream must be whipped with vanilla and sugar. Dissolve the gelatin and add to the slightly warmed liquor. Then all the resulting blanks are mixed and laid out in any molds. Leave the dish in the refrigerator until the ice cream hardens. Sprinkle each serving with cocoa powder before serving.
