Valentine's Day Recipes: 14 recipes to woo

The Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if there is something beautiful about that day it is the ability to share. What could be more romantic than sharing a moment of peace, good conversation and good food? To inspire you to prepare an evening that invites all of that, we bring you some recipes to make that day a special one, without too much fuss (we want to enjoy it, not lock ourselves in the kitchen!) and full of flavor. Happy February 14th!

1. Clams in sauce

A dish rich in flavor, a ten-out-of-ten presentation and it couldn't be easier to prepare: the clams in sauce recipe can be the perfect starter for Valentine's Day, and prepared in the French skillet it's an extra touch of romance: it's time to travel to the city of love!

2. Blueberry risotto for two

If you're looking for a classic for two, not too complicated but with a twist to surprise, this risotto is definitely the perfect recipe: it's a risotto that, thanks to the blueberries, achieves a passionate color and a truly special and appealing taste. Let the color fill the table and the berries fill you with passion!

3. Fish pie

Fish is always an elegant option that, when turned into a pie, becomes the perfect recipe to avoid complications on a day when the priority is to enjoy: the recipe for this mock monkfish pie is great for having everything ready in advance and fully enjoying a wonderful time at the table.

4. Aromatized and seasoned baked cheese

How about turning dinner into a very sexy grazing spread? I think making oven-melted cheese with mushrooms, cheese with roasted apple or lemon ricotta can be a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day (you'll see what easy delights!).

5. Truffled eggs

Another ideal recipe to keep things simple and enjoy a flavorful dinner as a couple: truffled eggs are a little delicacy that, besides being enjoyable, will give you something to talk about.

6. A delicious cheese or broth fondue

The fondue is one of those utensils that brings the most conversation and laughter to the table: it forces you to share ingredients, to look up from your plate, to reach across each other, to take turns serving... And all of that inevitably leads to more conversation and good times. Also, the effort to prepare fondue is really minimal. Is it not perfect for Valentine's Day?

We suggest two options: the traditional cheese fondue, the easiest and the one most people tend to prepare; or a broth fondue, in which you can cook chicken or beef and dip in different sauces.

7. Stuffed sea bass

If what you want is a dinner not only romantic but very elegant, stuffed sea bass can be the perfect dish to accompany the evening. The one we propose is the recipe for apple-stuffed sea bass with a cider reduction, a truly exquisite recipe that will make you fall in love.

8. Manresana-style cod

Easy, light and with a touch of cognac, with this recipe you will give a very exquisite touch to any moment as a couple. I'm sure you'll succeed!

9. Quiche recipes, for a more casual dinner

Quiche is an easy recipe to prepare and can almost make a complete dinner by itself. If on Valentine's Day you prefer a more everyday recipe (there are other ways to bring romance to the table!) that also allows you to enjoy every bite, here are some delicious quiches to make that day: a healthy and safe bet endive and leek quiche, a more casual option like the tomato quiche, a tasty cod, leek and onion quiche or one of my favorites, the salmon and goat cheese quiche.

10. Cocoa waffles with strawberry jam

Whether to start the day with a very intense breakfast or to end the evening with a strawberry touch, I hope you enjoy cocoa-touched waffles accompanied by a strawberry jam that is delicious. This time the recipe is available on video, on our YouTube channel.

11. Strawberry cobbler

We can't finish dinner without a touch of passion for dessert. The strawberry cobbler recipe is perfect for that: its color, texture and flavor are ideal to surprise and enjoy the moment as a couple... and certainly the dessert!

12. Raspberry crème brûlée

I would dare say that crème brûlée is a classic at many meals and dinners for couples. Now, giving it a raspberry twist turns the recipe we propose here into the ideal one to stir up passions: long live red!

13. Banoffee

With a cookie base and a heart of banana, caramel and cream, this cake becomes the perfect dessert to make your Valentine fall in love.

14. Chocolate and pear clafoutis with caramel sauce

If a clafoutis is already a sweet and delicious recipe on its own, adding cocoa and pairing it with a fruit as tasty as pear gives you an ideal recipe. Better grab two plates and spoons: this tart is truly beautiful and tastes delicious.
