Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Food Valentines Meal for the Missus

hi all,

im not going to lie, i cant cook for squat, i even burn baked beans sometimes....
so this year for valentines, i want to suprise the missus by cooking her something nice (starter, main and dessert)

now i have no idea about where to start.
what types of food are nice on valentines day? whats easy to cook yet still looks impressive??

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Oh sweetie!

The best advice I can give is to go to M&S,if you want to stay at home.
It maybe bought but,you still need to cook it.Good Luck.X

haha. i was thinking that, but then i thought that she'd be able to tell if it was bought (if you get me)

i hear things like steaks and salmon fillets are easy??

any recipies on them??

O.k....as a starting point, what type of food does she enjoy?

ps fresh strawberries dipped in melted chocolate with some decent ice cream like haagen daz for dessert..that is traditional for valentines day

to be honest she will eat anything as she isnt fussy, and will always try things shes never before if she sees them on a menu etc...
