Love Pizza

Who needs it to be Valentines Day to do a cheesy romantic gesture? These are always much more fun every other day of the year.  Around Valentines Day this year all of my usual amusing picture websites were flooded with images of terribly constructed heat shaped pizzas which people ordered for home delivery on V Day. We all know that V Day is a completely commercialised venture, and it would seem that a variety of (primarily American) franchise pizza establishments required their franchises to create something "romantic" with very limited training. This did not work. We can do better.

Strawberry, Blue Cheese and Balsamic Salad

 

Planning a date night? Promised to cook something special?  I've got you covered.  This is the most romantic salad you can plate up, and having it on a share platter makes it even more special.  The combination of flavours are sweet, peppery, tangy and nutty.  Serve it on  a share platter, with tuna or salmon steaks, eye fillet steaks or chicken breasts on small single plates. It works beautifully with champagne, or even better - a chambord royale (chambord liquer with champagne).  We had it with a cocktail of chambord, vodka, soda water and mint leaves.  Never forget the candles and music.  Your romantic evening awaits.
