Valentine's Day Ideas

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and I'm sure you're looking for the perfect romantic meal to cook.  If you aren't, then think of these as an eclectic bunch of recipes for you try:

Walnut Parsley Lamb Chops w/ Pomegranate Gastrique

This is a recent post of mine that not only screams romance, but is a pretty safe bet, since most people like lamb chops.  Roasted curried cauliflower is the perfect compliment to this Persian influenced meal. 

Seared Duck Breast

Treat yourself or a date (if they're lucky) to a moist and delicious duck breast, with perfectly rendered, crispy duck skin.  An added bonus to this is all of the duck fat you can use for yourself once your date goes home.  Granted, if you make this, they may never leave.

Wild Boar Ravioli

Everyone loves Italian, right?  Serve these savory ravioli with a quick tomato cream sauce and who knows how the night will end up.  There's probably an aphrodisiac in there somewhere.

 Crème Anglaise

Take your dessert to the next level by adding this luxurious and velvety custard sauce to the mix.  Not only goes well with chocolate lava cake or ice cream, it is the base of ice cream! 

Easy White Chocolate Valentine's Hearts 

All this look great but you just don't have the energy by the end of the week?  Try these white chocolate rice crispy hearts that you'll be sure to love.  Feeling extra lazy?  Leave off the chocolate and just eat the rice treats-- I don't care.
