The ultimate romantic Valentine’s Day menu

Something to nibble on…

Sip on a glass of red while you munch through these crispy ascolana olives in a cheesy breadcrumb coating. Your special someone (and these olives) are worth the extra bit of effort. But not really, they only take 20 minutes to make!

To start…

Fire up your tastebuds with these smoky prawns in a tomato and coriander sauce. It’s a light and easy starter that will tempt you for course number two. Make sure to soak up the sauce with a warm, crusty loaf such as ciabatta or focaccia.

Starter for two: smoky prawns with tomato and coriander

The main event…

It’s classic, easy to make for two people and always goes down a treat: the star of the show has got to be steak and chips. And ours is extra special. Rib steak is served with crispy, duck fat-cooked chips and served with a sublime pesto hollandaise. Your special someone will love you all the more for making this.

And for dessert…

Make your loved one go all gooey inside with these molten-middle Lindor fondants. They’re made with three types of chocolate and filled with white Lindor truffles for extra melty wow-factor. Dust with cocoa for an elegant finishing touch.
