Love Week: Vegetarian Meal for Two

For some of you out there (not me in case you hadn't noticed!!) this week is the run up to Valentines and a large percentage of couples out there will do something together that involves food, whether that be in a restaurant or staying at home. If you are part of a couple that is snuggling up at home this year (and are a vegetarian or happen to like veggie food) then I have some absolutely amazing recipes to tickle your tastebuds and set the senses whirling. Pen and Paper or Print button ready? Here you go...

Starters

1. Sundried Tomato Kebabs

Sometimes we worry about being too prim and proper but I think that finger food can be quite romantic and almost erotic (steady!!) at times so these are the perfect way to kick off your meal!

By Giada de Laurentis

2. Brie En Croute

I adore cheese, and I know a lot of you do too. So why not enjoy this ooey gooey liquid Brie with some flaky pastry and a nice crisp salad garnish. You can make it to share as well!

By Paula Deen

3.Stuffed Mushroom Bruschettas

Having lived in Italy for 3 years, I adore the food and this bruschetta with mushrooms and goats cheese just ticks every box for me!!

By Mary Cadogan

Mains

1. Shallot Tarte Tatin

If you are having a romantic meal, you do not want to spend all evening in the kitchen. This lovely tart can be made earlier in the day and then just popped in the oven. Serve it with some Dauphinoise Potatoes and Asparagus spears and that is one delicious meal!

By James Martin

2. Veggie Burgers

Okay, so this may not sound very romantic, but again... it's finger food! If you feel really at home with your valentine then why not make these super delicious burgers served with sweet potato fries and onion rings or salad! Sometimes you just can't beat a good burger!

3. Chickpea Curry

Whether you can stand the heat or not, why not make a warming curry and serve it with rice, naan bread to share and a cooling raitha dip! The aromas of a good curry can set the senses whirling and hands will meet when you share some warm bread too!

Desserts

1. Rich Chocolate Mousse Cake

For me, a chocolate dessert will always be a winner when you think romance. This light spongy mousse cake will melt in the mouth.

By Anna Olsen

2. Black Forest Cheesecake

I love cheesecake...actually I love desserts! This one is super easy, can be made in advance and has a great flavour! Plus, unless you make individual ones, there will be some leftover for the next day (or a quick taste test before the meal he he he)

By Jamie Oliver

3. Cremé Bruleé

A complete classic and if you think you are going to feel full towards the end of your meal, why not finish off with these individual creamy desserts. Make me one too won't you?

By Angela Nilsen

So there you have it, if I was going to be cooking my other half (if I had one that is) I would choose from this amazing selection of dishes. None of them are too complicated but they are all guranteed yuminess that's for sure. How about you? What are you cooking this V-Day or are you heading out?!
