Setting the right mood for Valentine’s Day is not just about the flowers and gifts. It’s also about setting the mood and serving the perfect food. If you are not sure what to serve for Valentine’s Day dinner, consider these ideas.
Cauliflower bisque is fantastic as a starter. Topped with pomegranate seeds, chives, and crunchy croutons, this creamy bisque is delicious and nutritious. Remember, take care not to eat too much since the rest of the menu is bound to be just as delicious and you want to make sure that you save space for dessert!
Pasta is a delicious option as a main course. Penne pollo, pasta alfredo, or pancetta and brussels sprouts linguini are all scrumptious options. A creamy sauce and bacon bits are also delicious when it comes to winter comfort food and Valentine’s Day dinner is the perfect occasion for your favourite comfort dishes!
If you prefer fish, you could opt for some roasted cod served with olives and lemon. You can enjoy this with a side salad or even savoury rice depending on your personal preferences. You could even have a bit of both if you like!
Steak is another scrumptious idea and can be served with mushroom sauce, pepper sauce, or even a combination of the two. Some people even like garlic butter melted on top but you might want to steer clear of garlic if you are hoping for an intimate evening!
Finally, when it comes to dessert, you will need to choose between hot or cold. Pudding is comforting around this time of year but sometimes a fresh tart can be the perfect way to complement the meal. Even if you don’t bake, you could always buy dessert and keep it in the fridge while you enjoy your meal. Some great dessert options include chocolate cake, chocolate cobbler, fruit cobbler, keylime pie, or even mini custard and fruit tarts. Think about a dessert that you and your Valentine will enjoy or opt for a bit of both if you are unsure.
