Here are a few tips just so your night is as perfect as your meal!

  • Keep the food light, or serve small portions. You don't want to feel really full up later in the evening.
  • Make the meal pleasing to all the senses by using food with an exciting combination of colours, and textures.
  • Select a sweet, but light dessert so you can feel indulged without being too stuffed for romance.
  • Feed one another, or at least watch your partner eat.
  • Drink just enough wine or champagne to lower your inhibitions, but not so much as to put you to sleep!
  • Keep the lighting subdued. Everyone looks better by the warm glow of candlelight. A room that is lit with only candles can be completely
    enchanting.
  • Don't forget to select sexy music to accompany your meal.
    If you're stuck on recipe ideas for your valentine's meal, then below are some suggestions to have your partner completely loved up and lovin' you by the time the dessert arrives!
