BEAUTIFUL DISHES FOR VALENTINE
Let me give you a couple of tips for awesome dishes to make this day to shine. Start from the very morning and prepare a proper breakfast for your beloved.
Next, decorate with some flowers and fix an easy dinner meal. All the main dishes are fast in preparation, yummy for the eye and rich in flavour. Let’s start!
My Valentine’s rehearsal resembles simplicity, freshness and no waste of time. Luxurious combination of Seared Duck Breasts with Colourful Potatoes and purely vegetarian Gorgonzola and Red Grape Spaghetti.
Valentine’s Brunch
My family is all about waffles and pancakes. Therefore, I give you my latest edition of Smooth Ricotta Pancakes with Berry Marmalade and Homemade Peanut Butter.
If you prefer savoury, check out my Easy Crostini Snack or Delicious Soufflé of 4 Cheeses. They win every time!
The Mains
As my favourite Julia Child says: “The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.” Easy, fast and impressive: Sexy Rib Eye with Warm Potatoes. If you fancy a fresh fish, I present you Almond Trout with Cranberries.The Desserts
I am not going to lie here. If you want to impress someone, you need the time to think it through, perhaps even few days earlier. However, it is totally worth it: Chocolate Love Tart with Cranberries and Truffles.
Should you search for other tips for the sweet tongue, try Chocolate Whiskey Mousse or Dear Peach Tiramisu. For more recipes, scroll down and find your Valentine.
Eat, Love and enjoy Your Valentine,
