Romantic dinner ideas: Valentine’s recipes to impress
Nothing says romance like a thoughtful, home-cooked meal, prepped from scratch and made with bucket loads of love. Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show your loved one that you care, and what better way to do it than preparing an easy but impressive, delicious dish for you to share?
With restrictions back in place for UAE restaurants and coronavirus cases climbing, it seems only fair to presume that many couples will opt to stay at home for the upcoming celebration. But that doesn’t mean it can’t still be a special evening. Light a candle, throw on some of your favourite tunes and enjoy good food with good company in the comfort of your home with our round-up of romantic recipes for two…
