Valentine's Day recipes

Wondering what to cook for Valentine’s Day? From make-ahead dishes to romantic breakfast ideas for two, we have Valentine’s Day recipes covered. Some of our favourites include beef wellington, steak with pesto hollandaise and fish and chips for two – and for dessert, molten-middle chocolate fondants.

Out to impress? Try our lingonberry and orange cheesecake, topped with a pretty swirl of (secretly simple to achieve) jammy hearts, or apple tarts arranged like roses.

Go the Italian route with pasta, such as our slow-cooked duck ragu with pappardelle, followed by coffee pannacotta – which can be made a day ahead.

And for breakfast, cute heart-shaped egg in a hole,served with bacon and avocado, or ricotta pancakes with spiced pear will show them you care.
