Lovely Meals

I'm sure many of you are getting ready for next week's Valentine's Day celebration and probably will be going out to some fancy dinner somewhere. But, if you're not doing it today I'd like to suggest you a few meals that are just perfect for you, your loved one and even your lovely friends...

Raspberry Chocolate Kiss Cocktail

No celebration is complete without a little drink and one that is a combination in a martini glass of fruit and chocolate is the perfect way to toast to those you love.

Lobster Parfaits with Teardrop Tomatoes, Hearts of Palm, and Cilantro-Avocado Dressing

Then you move on to a delicious starter that opens up your apetite and that includes flavors and ingredients that are believed to be aprodisiac (I heard that somehwere... ha!) while being presented in an original way.

Rack of Lamb with Oranges, Almonds, Watercress, Skordalia

I love lamb chops because they are the perfect food to share with anyone and to make things easier it even has a little hadle for it. Pair it with fresh ingredients and enjoy!

Chocolate Truffles

Afraid of being cliche I cannot think of Valentine's day without chocolate desert... it is the perfect ingredient for all the obvious and not so obvious reasons (it is said that helps releasing endorphines!)

Have a lovely Tueday... and hope your VDay prep is going well!

    Great suggestions! That cocktail looks too good and I'm drooling over the chocolate macarons (yes, I have a sweet tooth). Still haven't planned a VDay menu yet, but this is good inspiration!

    Chocolate is a definite necessity to end any Valentine's meal, though I've been in a fruit dessert kick lately and was thinking of doing something with the fresh strawberries I've seen at the farmer's markets...
