Romantic Recipes
There are few things as romantic as a preparing a candlelit meal for your loved one. Set aside an evening free of children and other distractions and turn off your phones. Get a white tablecloth and some unscented candles, turn on some romantic music and uncork a nice bottle of wine.
Food that can be prepared in advance is ideal for a romantic meal, as you don't want to be spending the majority of the evening in the kitchen. Don't try to choose something too complicated which will result in you feeling harried and stressed out. Remember that the main purpose of the meal is for you to spend enjoyable time together. Simple finger foods which you can feed to each other are a good idea.
In a romantic meal the small touches are important so take a moment to concentrate on presentation. Decanting the wine is a nice details, as are cloth napkins and flowers on the table. Choose music you know your partner loves, and dishes with ingredients they like but may not have all the time.
Also, many foods have in themselves aphrodisiac qualities — such as oysters, saffron and chocolate — so choose these to set the mood for the evening ahead!
