Delicious dinner for a romantic evening. How to cook a romantic dinner at home - the most complete instruction for a loving culinary specialist

With the combination of the words "romantic dinner", personally, I always have only the most pleasant perceptions. Such an evening is always filled with some kind of magic and mystery. Two loving people can forget about everything for a while and plunge into each other's aura.

And it doesn't matter what event such an evening is organized in honor of. It can be another wedding anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day, meeting after a long separation, or just reconciliation after a quarrel. What matters is what the atmosphere will be in the evening. How everything will be arranged and organized.

And we have already touched on such a topic in the article. You can follow the link and see how you can easily create an unforgettable atmosphere.

Today, let's talk about what you can prepare for such an evening.

Of course, you need to think over the atmosphere of such an evening. Purchase candles and candlesticks in advance. They can be placed throughout the room where the date is planned. Create pleasant lighting that relaxes and dissolves into the room.

However, do not organize an evening in the kitchen, much less in the bedroom. Each place in the house has its own purpose. Since the dinner is romantic, then the room should be a living room. By the way, the room can be decorated with balls or hearts.


Think in advance what kind of music will sound in your room. Prepare it so as not to be distracted later. Create a rough scenario for the evening.

Prepare your tablecloth and dishes. And think over the menu in advance. And here is an example that we can offer you.

You can choose which appetizer best suits your mood: chicken salad with pineapple in tartlets or puff pastry roses. Or maybe you will like seafood salad more to your liking.

Salad in tartlets

Delicate and at the same time beautiful salad in tartlets can increase the level of romance. Still would! It looks almost like "Rafaello", only instead of a piece of paper, a beautiful bread base.

Puffs with cheese and sausage (roses)

You gave your darling orchids, and she loves roses? So let's surprise her with an amazing rose-shaped appetizer.

Fish under a vegetable coat

There are many recipes for cooking fish. But for a romantic dinner you need something tender and aromatic.

The main thing to remember is that fish and other ingredients should not contain bones and all kinds of scales that can spoil the mood. Remember that white wine goes well with fish.

The best option is to bake the fish in the oven. And in order not to cook separately a side dish, and the dish to look original, you can make a vegetable "fur coat" for our sea meat. So the vegetable juice will saturate the fillet and get a very aromatic, juicy and incredibly tasty light dish.


We need:

  • Boneless fish fillet - 500 gr
  • Onions - 1 pc.
  • Chicken egg - 1 pc.
  • Carrots - 1 pc.
  • Lemon juice - 1 tbsp. l.
  • Potatoes - 3 pcs.
  • Mayonnaise to taste
  • Sunflower oil - 50 ml.
  • Flour - 50 gr.
  • Salt, spices, herbs - to taste.

Preparation:

1. Peel fresh potato tubers, carrots and onions.


2. Thaw fish fillets, rinse well and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut into convenient portions. Sprinkle with salt, season with your favorite spices and pour over with lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes and soak.


You can take any fish without bones. But it is telapia that turns out best under such a fur coat.

3. Mix mayonnaise with egg and chopped favorite herbs. Dip the fish pieces in the resulting marinade and let them marinate for about half an hour.


4. Cut the onion into half rings and fry until translucent. Remove the half-finished onion from the pan, trying to leave as much oil in it as possible for further frying the fish.


5. Roll the marinated fillet pieces in flour and fry on both sides until golden brown.

8. Season vegetables with literally false-two mayonnaise, lightly salt and add aromatic ground pepper. After thorough mixing until smooth, spread the vegetable mass in a layer over the fish.


9. Send the baking sheet into an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 35 minutes. Then you can add grated cheese so that after ten minutes of baking, a delicate cheese crust appears.


If the dish will be served cold or after heating, and not immediately after cooking it hot, then it is better not to add cheese, because this layer will harden, it will only break or cling to the fork in separate pieces and create a flavor inconsistency in the dish.

10. Cut into small portions or rectangles, put on plates and garnish with herbs and fresh vegetables as you wish.


We wish you to enjoy a juicy fish dish!

Enjoy your meal!

4. Roll big balls out of the dense sweet mass.

Easy to prepare and delicious sponge cake

Now in stores and culinary departments, you can choose from a huge number of cakes the one that suits you both in appearance and taste. But at one time there was the most famous "Kiev" cake. Since not everyone managed to buy it and not as often as we would like, because it was instantly dismantled from the shelves. But on the other hand, our mothers and grandmothers learned how to bake fluffy biscuits no worse than this dessert classic.


The main secret of the airiness of the biscuit lies in the egg whites, whipped into a foam. A huge biscuit can be cut into cakes with a thread or a culinary knife and smeared with any cream to make a real cake.

We need:

  • Chicken egg - 6 pcs.
  • Vanilla sugar - 10 gr.
  • Flour - 150 gr.
  • Sugar - 200 gr.
  • Boiled condensed milk - 1 can
  • Butter - 100 gr. +5 gr.

Preparation:

1. Carefully separate the chicken whites from the yolks and place them in a dry bowl. Beat with a mixer until foam forms.


It is very important to ensure that even a drop of egg yolk does not get into the thicket with proteins, otherwise it will not be possible to beat the eggs to the desired consistency.

2. Without stopping whipping, gradually add half of the sugar and vanilla sugar in portions. Achieve the appearance of a stable peak-like state of the protein mousse.


3. Put 6 yolks in a separate bowl and combine them for whipping with the second half of plain and vanilla sugar. Beat until the mass approximately doubles.


4. In the yolk mousse, gradually spread the "cool" thick protein foam and mix gently.


5. As you mix the two egg consistencies, gradually stir in the flour, sifting it directly into the bowl. Knead into a homogeneous batter without lumps.


6. You should get a creamy biscuit dough.


Never stir clockwise or counterclockwise, as airiness may be lost. It is best to mix with exciting movements from the bottom up.

7. Grease a baking dish with butter. Place parchment paper on the sides and grease it too.

8. Fill the form with dough, evenly distributing it along the bottom and slightly rolling it between your palms so that all excess air comes out and unnecessary bubbles do not form in the biscuit.

9. In an oven preheated to 180 degrees, send the form with the dough for half an hour.

To make the biscuit high and fluffy, do not open the oven door either during baking or afterwards during the cooling period.

10. As soon as a golden brown crust appears on the top of the biscuit, it is necessary to reduce the gas and bake it for another 10 minutes. Readiness can be checked with a match.

11. Let the biscuit cool slightly, then remove it from the mold and remove the parchment paper. Cover with a clean dry towel and let it sit for about 6 hours.


The biscuit must be allowed to infuse so that the impregnation does not soak the dough and there are no crumbs when cutting.

12. Cut the biscuit into cakes with a culinary knife or thread.


13. Beat the boiled condensed milk with butter with a mixer to get a homogeneous dark beige sweet cream. Spread each cake with it. Putting them on top of each other, smear the sides with cream so that they are also soaked.


14. The top of the cake can be decorated with grated chocolate, biscuit crumbs, nuts, etc.


Enjoy your simple, but such a delicate biscuit cake!

Having at hand these sample menus and recipes for each dish to choose from, you can prepare the most memorable dinner. For a romantic pastime, just three dishes are enough, which will keep your cheerfulness and romantic mood.


Therefore, choose any option for yourself, and cook to your health. And if you want to see other recipes, then. There you will find an equally extensive menu for Valentine's Day and all those in love.

Bon Appetit! Love and be loved!

No matter how you personally feel about romance and all the accompanying attributes, from time to time the desire to arrange an unusual dinner, organize a beautiful evening and come up with a non-standard scenario visits everyone. Perhaps in this way you want to wish your loved one a happy birthday. Maybe you go the romance route to celebrate Valentine's Day. It is likely that you will decide to celebrate the New Year according to a special program. However, and just for no reason to beautifully set the table and cook something special is also a wonderful way to spend time with someone you love.

In general, whatever reason you come up with for a romantic dinner, you always want to move forward on a special path to avoid the standard strawberries and champagne, hearts on napkins and roses in a vase.

Draw your own path. Let your romance be so refined and high that no one (and you yourself in the first place) will be able to suspect the widespread ahi-oohs in it. Do not be afraid, everything is real, look!

We suggest immediately limiting the range of dishes that can be included in the romantic menu. By default, we exclude everything heavy, brutal and solid (we do not discuss the reasons, we are all adult uncles and aunts, we understand what we are talking about). By default, we welcome everything light, fresh and airy (aphrodisiacs in food are a separate topic, we will not dwell on it today, we just mean it).

We compose the menu luxuriously and beautifully, we do not think about how much time will have to be devoted to flitting around the kitchen - we think about romance, it is more important than effort. However, sometimes we still slightly restrain ourselves - the specifics of the upcoming evening are such that you will still need strength, and if you collapse with boiled spaghetina right after you set the table, I'm afraid it will be possible to say that the dinner was hopelessly ruined.

So, we think over the menu according to the following scheme:

  • cold appetizer;
  • salad;
  • hot snack;
  • main dish;
  • dessert.

Cold appetizer for a romantic dinner

This is the first thing that appears on the table, so the dish should be given special attention, it is not for nothing that all psychologists unanimously declare that only the first and the last are remembered, that which goes nowhere in between.
Tasty filling, of course, is important and of paramount importance, however, serving plays an equally important role. I suggest pate - and portioned glasses for it.

Lentil and Goose Liver Pate

Well, okay, okay, don't boil right away: no goose liver - take turkey; no turkey - so be it, buy chicken. It is clear that the final taste of the appetizer will change, however, the concept will remain!

I recommend spreading the ready-made pate into small sauce bowls, decorating with cheese sticks, and serving with some spectacular homemade chips (vegetable or mushroom, for example). First course - show yourself off!

Ingredients:

  • 200 g of boiled lentils;
  • 1 shallot onion;
  • 150 ml cream;
  • a bunch of fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, dill, thyme);
  • 300 g goose liver;
  • 125 g butter;
  • 30 ml of brandy;
  • a pinch of dry chili;
  • salt to taste

How to make lentil and liver pate

My liver, cut into small pieces.
We clean and grind the shallots.
In a saucepan or deep frying pan, melt 40 g of butter, fry the onion until transparent, add the liver. Season with salt and pepper and, stirring occasionally, cook for about 3 minutes.
Add cognac and cook about the same amount. Remove from heat and add the remaining oil. Add lentils, salt. Puree with a blender, add cream and finely chopped greens, again work with a blender.
Place in glasses (bowls) and leave in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
Before serving, the pate can be lightly drizzled with olive oil, garnished with toasted toast, crackers and a sprig of herbs.

Romantic dinner salad

Desirable - the sea, the sea of ​​fresh herbs, crispy lettuce and juicy vegetables. The key to success is an unusual gas station, I recommend trying with all my heart. The right approach is products that you don't use in your everyday cooking.

However, do not think, I am not saying that the classic Soviet "Olivier" or the rich in taste "Mimosa" - salads are not correct, not tasty and other "not". Not at all. Moreover, with the appropriate approach and serving, you can serve them on the festive table, however, today we have a slightly different dinner format, so I advise you to refrain from dense, high-calorie salads and give preference to light, unusual, juicy dishes.

Avocado salad with gorgonzolla and walnuts

Okay, I admit, this salad is not particularly light, yet cheese and nuts are a pretty solid combination. But you don't have to serve it in basins! Elegant avocado boats are just what you need for a romantic dinner. Scarlet sails will be painted by imagination.

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 200 g of any cream cheese;
  • 100 g gorgonzolla;
  • 50 ml non-fat cream;
  • freshly squeezed lemon juice;
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 tbsp. l. walnuts;
  • salt, pepper to taste;
  • lettuce leaves and fresh herbs for serving.

How to make an avocado salad for a romantic dinner

Mix the cream cheese well with the cream, add a little salt and add a little pepper for flavor. Trying and adjusting the taste - I like to slightly acidify the dressing with lemon juice.
Cut the gorgorzolla into cubes, mix gently with the dressing.

Putting 2-4 beautiful nuts aside, chop the rest into large pieces and lightly fry in a dry frying pan. Add to the salad.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and sprinkle it with lemon juice, otherwise the flesh will darken unappetizingly before you serve the salad.
We fill the “boats” with cheese-nut mass, decorate with halves of nuts and serve on a “pillow” of herbs and lettuce leaves.

And this is a salad with avocado and crab sticks.

Hot appetizer for a romantic menu

Well, here's the first solid touch of a romantic dinner. And yet - let it be light, airy and beautiful. How about a soufflé? The peculiarity of this dish is that it must be served immediately. The complexity, of course, is obvious, however, and it can be dealt with. While the puzzled man is looking for "do you remember that ... well, that song?" five minutes. Well, and running to the kitchen to get a treat and bring it to the table is, I think, not a problem.

Cheese soufflé with spinach

The combination of cheese and spinach is great - sometimes I seriously think these two products were created exclusively for each other. In general, they are good in any dish, but it is the soufflé that reveals all their tenderness, gentleness, trepidation. Cook - you won't regret it!

Ingredients:

  • 100 g spinach;
  • 4 eggs;
  • 150 g of hard cheese;
  • 80 g butter;
  • 60 ml cream;
  • 30 g fat sour cream;
  • salt to taste;
  • a pinch of nutmeg;
  • some bread crumbs.

How to make spinach cheese soufflé

We turn on the oven - it should be preheated to 180 degrees.
Grease the soufflé molds with oil, sprinkle with breadcrumbs.

Quickly blanch fresh spinach in boiling water and chop, ice cream - defrost.
Beat the softened butter, egg yolks and a pinch of nutmeg until fluffy. Add spinach, grated cheese, cream and sour cream, stir, salt, do not forget about nutmeg.

Beat the whites and add them to the previous mixture using the folding method.
We spread the mass in soufflé baking tins and put in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. We serve immediately.

The main dish of the romantic menu

The main course is the main focus of your dinner, so you need to be especially creative with it. Flambéed dishes look great and spectacular, fish and seafood are very appropriate, grilled meat looks great and beautiful. There are quite a few options, but I will offer you….

Steaks with apples stewed in red wine

Delicate veal fillet, fragrant fruits, wine bouquet - in my opinion, just a luxurious option. Do not be afraid to spoil it - contrary to popular belief, cooking a steak is not so difficult, I will tell you one of the most affordable ways.

Ingredients:

  • 800 g veal fillet;
  • 150 g feta;
  • 400 ml dry red wine;
  • 4 apples;
  • olive oil for frying;
  • black pepper, mustard seeds, nutmeg to taste;
  • juice of 1 lemon;
  • 1 tbsp. l. Sahara;
  • salt;
  • 1 cinnamon stick;
  • 2-3 carnation stars;
  • lettuce leaves and herbs for serving.

How to cook veal steak for a romantic holiday

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
Grind a few black peppercorns, mustard and nutmeg in a mortar. Rub the meat on all sides with a spicy mixture.

In a well-heated skillet with a little oil, quickly fry a piece of meat - the fire is maximum. After that, quickly wrap the meat in foil and put it in the oven - cook at a fairly low temperature for about 1 hour.

In a small saucepan, combine wine, juice of 1 lemon, add a cinnamon stick, cloves, bring to a boil. Peel the apples, put them in a saucepan and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.

We take out the meat from the oven, unfold the foil, salt and leave it for 5-7 minutes to "rest", after which we cut the veal fillet into pieces 2-3 cm thick.
Serve on a "pillow" of lettuce and greens, spread apples next to it, sprinkle with crumbled feta.

Dessert for a romantic dinner

In my authoritative and indestructible opinion, the most important thing in a romantic dinner is dessert! By and large, if I had my will, I would serve solid desserts instead of meat, salads, and all kinds of pies, however, they say that such a model does not fit into the concept of a romantic dinner, so I have to endure all this extra prelude to enjoy sweet luxury of the final chord.
Fat cakes and thick pies are pushed aside, light cream, weightless panna cat, transparent jelly, silky pudding, velvet mousse appear on the stage.

Chocolate vanilla trifle

Dessert, in my opinion, fits perfectly into the concept of a romantic dinner - trifles are served in beautiful transparent glasses, they can be decorated with chocolate, small candies, powdered sugar.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp. l. corn starch;
1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 tbsp. l. cocoa;
2 glasses of milk;
2 tbsp. l. butter;
2 tbsp. l. vanilla sugar;
1/2 cup nut mix

How to make a beautiful romantic trifle

Mix starch with powdered sugar, pour in milk. Stir the resulting mass well and set on minimum heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a pant, boil for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat and add butter. Beat well with a blender, divide the resulting cream into two equal parts, add cocoa to one of them, vanilla sugar to the second, mix again. Bring both masses to a boil again.

In a dry frying pan, lightly fry the nut mixture, chop the nuts into several large pieces.
Put both creams in layers in tall glasses, add the nut mass between them. We put it in the refrigerator for 5-7 hours.
If desired, you can add dried fruits, candied fruits, chopped caramel crumbs.

Serving a romantic dinner

The last recommendation is to take care of the details, they create a special holiday mood and bring a certain amount of romance. Where will the dinner take place? Maybe you should set a table in your own garden? A park lawn and a pair of checkered rugs, the seaside and a basket of food, a snow-covered forest and the bright reflections of a campfire are options, though hackneyed, but still romantic and beautiful.

Freeze ice in advance - for example, in the shape of hearts. Take care of candles and music. Flowers - of course, the banality is complete, but without them it will not be so, believe me. Don't forget to prepare a small gift: a cute note hidden in a chocolate bar, a handmade postcard, a romantic trinket or a souvenir - these things are usually neglected by everyone, but they invariably bring a kind smile.

However, the most important thing is your mood and a sincere desire to bring joy to the person whom you invite to the table today. If these components are absent, I'm afraid the romantic event will turn into a pretentious dinner with delicious food. Okay, but not as intended. In general, I wish you butterflies in your soul and forget-me-not buttercups in your heart, and let everything work out!

The first meeting, the first date, the first romantic evening together ... We cherish these events in our memory all our lives. And even after many years, they still evoke awe and a happy smile. But now, as they say, you have been married for a long time and firmly, and romantic dinners have long since flowed into quiet family dinners, there is no that enthusiasm and happy glint in your eyes. Sad, isn't it? But feelings are still alive, so why not refresh them by plunging into the past for a while and, as it were, simultaneously looking into such a promising future. And for this you do not need to “reinvent the wheel” at all, but simply take and arrange a romantic dinner for two, which will become another tender declaration of love.

This is a responsible business, so it is important to think over everything in advance, and the most important thing is to plan the menu, purchase the necessary products and try to put into the prepared dishes for a romantic evening everything that your heart feels: love, tenderness, a drop of passion and, of course, a little mystery and unpredictability. No haste and incredible heap of dishes, everything is simple, tasteful and at the same time not without a touch of charm and sophistication. There should be nothing superfluous on the table set for a romantic dinner, nothing should distract attention from each other, because for this everything was conceived: two appliances, candles, champagne, flowers and dishes prepared by you: one or two snacks, salad, hot and dessert.

Food should not be heavy, it is designed not to fill the stomach, but to stun with an appetizing look, exquisite taste, tease with the smell and give pleasure. By the way, contrary to popular belief that champagne is obligatory on the table, it is worth noting that it can be replaced with your favorite wine or light intriguing cocktail - it all depends on the taste preferences of the person for whom this wonderful surprise is being prepared. Let the quiet, unobtrusive music (favorite song or melody) sound, which does not interfere with the conversation, but on the contrary disposes to it. Do not skimp on creativity and imagination.

There should not be anything superfluous on the table, there is no need to cook ten dishes, three, and sometimes two are enough. The food should be light with a predominance of fruits, berries and vegetables. For the main course, a dish of rabbit, turkey is ideal.

Fondue means melted, melted, stretching. This is an invention of the Swiss, the national dish of their cuisine. There are many varieties of fondue: cheese, fish, sweet, etc.

The fondue dish is placed in the center of the table (modern fondue dish is very beautiful, comfortable and compact), and guests, using skewers or special forks, dip pieces of bread, meat, vegetables or fruits into the resulting mass.

Today we are going to make fondue from strawberries and other fruits.

For this we need:

  • 200 gr. fresh strawberries (sold all year round), ice cream will not work, it will not hold on to a fork, and it will not look very nice.
  • Bananas, kiwi, pears - you can take any fruit or opt only for strawberries.
  • Sticks or forks for planting berries and fruits.
  • Chocolate 200 gram, black chocolate.
  • 150 g cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 50 gr. butter

  2. Add cream, heat further, stirring constantly.
  3. Before boiling, add butter and stir again.
  4. It takes a long time to write, but it is done very quickly.
  5. The magic mixture is ready, now it remains to cut the strawberries into 2 parts, and we cut the fruits not very finely so that they do not fall off the fork.
  6. Pour the finished chocolate into a fondue dish and turn on the heating. The chocolate will always be warm and soft. And when it's time for dessert, put this wonderful device in the center of the table, and put forks and fruits next to it. It remains only to put pieces of strawberries and fruits on a fork and dip in warm chocolate.
  7. If you don't have fondue, don't worry, you can prepare such a dessert in advance. Dip the fruits, let the chocolate harden and put them beautifully in martini glasses or on a beautiful plate - a salad bowl.

That's all, a romantic candlelit dinner for two is ready. All that remains is to do your makeup, fix your hair and put on a beautiful dress.
