These amorous meal ideas are best shared over candlelight. So dust off that white tablecloth and scatter those crimson rose petals. Your date’s undying affection is just a dinner away.

Homemade sourdough bread

Baking sourdough bread from scratch – if that’s not a gesture of love, we don’t know what is. Feeding the hungry sourdough starter each day for 7-14 days will ensure your bread has that authentic sour taste, though for those short on time you can create the stater a minimum of 24 hours ahead. Wondering if all the kneading and proving is worth it? Serve this fluffy still-warm sourdough to your date and watch them swoon.

Prawn pizzettas with salsa verde

Served with a zesty salsa verde brimming with capers and fresh herbs, these prawn pizzettas are the ultimate Valentine’s Day starter. Be sure to allow 40 minutes proving time for the pizza dough to double in size, then top the mini pizzettas with red onion, baby bocconcini and a glistening prawn before baking on CircoTherm for 15 minutes. The result? Golden, oozy discs both satisfying and refreshing.

Forest mushroom and truffle oil risotto

The astonishing depth of flavour of this savoury risotto will have your date lusting after every last bite. Four different types of mushroom lend depth and texture, while finely-chopped thyme and rosemary add a burst of freshness. The best part? There’s no need to stand over a cooktop and stir with this recipe. Simply throw everything into your pot and let the NEFF steam oven do the rest.

A whopping 450g of dark chocolate will leave chocolate lovers weak at the knees, while a teaspoon of peppermint essence freshens the flavour profile. The best bit?
