Three easy and romantic Valentine's recipe ideas
14 February is here! So what can we do to surprise that special someone? We think the best way to someone's heart is through their stomach. So don't miss these three delicious and simple Valentine's Day recipes.


It's that time of year again, the day when couples come together and celebrate love in the name of the patron saint of lovers, Saint Valentine. But how can we out do ourselves year after year and not lose that special spark? There's no better way to show some love than with a bit of thought and care. So what could be better than preparing some tasty treats to captivate all of the senses? Jot down these three ideas and enjoy a romantic Valentine's Day at home.
A 'good morning' in the shape of a heart
What better way to wake up than to a romantic breakfast? Mornings are a challenge when it comes to preparing a feast. There's hardly any time to make it, and your partner could wake up at any moment and surprise you.
So to guarantee a resounding success and the peace of mind of everything being done on time, our first Valentine's Day recipe is irresistible heart waffles with cheese and jam. You'll just need to cook them in the oven and they'll be done in a few moments. Add your partner's favourite jam or topping, make some coffee and … voilà! A great start to a very special day.
One last trick: Go one step further and add to the moment with a bit of music. Let the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast do the rest. They'll love it!
Make their favourite dish
Who says that creating something romantic has to be complicated? It's about standing out with those finer details, like how the table is presented or adding a condiment that is out of the ordinary. In short, it's about making the other person feel special.
No-one knows your partner like you do, so why not make their favourite dish? You don't need everything to be filled with hearts or to spend hours and hours cooking a recipe you've never tasted. More often than not, excellence lies in simplicity. So if you want a recipe that'll make your Valentine's Day a success, go for that dish they just can't resist.
For those who don't have a second to spare
No gesture is too small when it's done with love. As we know, sometimes it's impossible to find the time to don your oven gloves, or maybe you simply don't enjoy celebrating the day as such, then here is our alternative recipe for Valentine's Day. Exquisite biscuits! Make a hot drink to go alongside the biscuits and enjoy each other's company. These biscuits will satisfy your partner's sweet tooth, and the little heart adorning them in the middle will set the tone for some time together as a couple.
