Surprisingly, for some reason we had never celebrated this holiday before and didn’t even know that it existed. Only when travel abroad became free, many visited other countries, bought postcards with pink hearts, and the rumor spread throughout our land.
Since then, especially young people, began to quietly celebrate Valentine's Day or St. Valentine's Day, February 14th.
I would like to help you spend it amicably, in love and of course with a good romantic dinner.
Advice from all times:
Dinner for two is so romantic, but alas, this is where a trap awaits lovers...
We will offer you recipes for dishes that, according to the ancients, unusually increased sexual sensuality. It turns out people have been concerned about this for a long time.
My advice: If you cook a pan of deliciously browned, crispy potatoes for dinner, it’s really delicious, you won’t be able to put it down. Who is your favorite after that, 15 minutes later? Yes, just a sack lying on the sofa. His energy is paralyzed, the potato dominates him. This evening all other joys are forgotten for you.
Dry wine and as many fruits and vegetables as you want - they are irreplaceable aphrodisiacs in erotic cooking.
Pythagoras believed that ordinary cabbage incredibly supported vigor and mood, and relieved headaches.
The loving French say: eat a lot of Camembert cheese, washed down with mineral water - and you are guaranteed the title of the most passionate lover.
Americans are inclined closer to the opinion of Pythagoras, somewhat clarified: you need to eat sauerkraut three times a day and your sexual performance will be at its best.
Eastern sages advise: mix dry St. John's wort, mint and clover in equal parts, pour 5 teaspoons of this mixture into a liter of boiling water, leave for 20 minutes. This tea awakens love languor in women.
Male strength has always been valued and enhanced as best we could. Each people in their own way. In Western Europe, they reveled in raw chicken eggs. The East ate dates and fresh snake blood. The Slavic brothers leaned heavily on onions, garlic, parsley and carrots. And hazelnuts with honey were placed on the wedding table for the newlyweds - a guarantee of strong offspring.

Cooking method
The secret of nuggets with cheese is that the meat layer is made very thin, and more cheese is added, then it will not completely dissolve in the minced chicken, but will only melt. In addition, an important element is a dense “shirt” of flour and crackers, which retains all the juice inside the nugget, despite the high temperature of deep frying.
- First you need to prepare everything that is indicated in the recipe.
- An important point in preparing nuggets is that the minced meat should be paste-like, so pieces of chicken fillet are first passed through a meat grinder.
- Now the minced meat is blended with a blender until completely homogeneous.
- Salt and pepper the resulting mass.
- Cut the cheese into pieces. It is more convenient to place several small cubes inside, giving the nugget a round shape.
- Flatten a piece of minced meat with wet fingers, add 3-4 cheese cubes and pull the meat edges together, rolling them into a ball.
- Prepare all 10 balls in this way.
- Stir the indicated spices into the flour.
- Prepare bowls with flour, crackers and beaten eggs.
- Sprinkle the ball with flavored flour.
- Dip it into the egg.
- Then the meat bun rolls in breadcrumbs. Repeat the entire procedure 2 times.
- Place the breaded nuggets on a plate. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a cauldron or other narrow container with thick walls.
- The nuggets are deep-fried for 4 minutes. They should float freely in the oil without touching each other.
- Place the rosy nuggets on a napkin.

The recipe for its preparation was considered a secret and therefore was not disclosed. Each French housewife had her own recipe, it was jealously kept as a family heirloom, and was passed on only in wills to daughters and granddaughters. Today we will get acquainted with one such proven recipe and prepare, completely independently, an incredibly aromatic, strawberry blancmange, which is sure to turn out and will please everyone. Make this dessert for your Valentine's Day dinner and you're guaranteed success.
To celebrate Valentine's Day or not to celebrate - decide for yourself! :) In my opinion, this is a great reason to treat yourself and your other half to a delicious candlelit dinner! You can cook dinner yourself or together, and we will offer options for three possible scenarios :)
- Menu for your beloved (cooked by a man)
- Menu for your loved one (prepared by a woman)
- Menu for two (both cook)
Even if culinary skills are not on your list of talents, a detailed work plan and step-by-step instructions will help you emerge victorious from this battle.

Action plan:
Two days before the gala dinner:
Let's start with champagne! More precisely, from making jelly from this noble drink. Believe me, it will be difficult for you to come up with a more spectacular dessert. The cooking process is very logical and understandable, so you just need to scrupulously follow the instructions in the recipe. You can use frozen strawberries, but it’s still better to find a few beautiful fresh berries for decoration. Champagne and strawberries are already a holiday. And champagne and strawberries in winter are a holiday squared.
The day before the holiday:
Let's make syrup for punch. The punch itself can be mixed directly during the festive dinner. But in order not to bother with squeezing juice and grating zest, it is better to take care of a small homemade preparation in advance. Pour vodka over the lemon syrup - nothing will be done to it in a day, it will just infuse better.
Also on this day it is worth making preparations for hot dishes in advance. Stuff chicken breasts with blue cheese, wrap in bacon and refrigerate. You can immediately place the pieces in a baking dish. Then on February 14, all you have to do is put it in the oven half an hour before serving hot.
On a holiday:
Let's do an audit. Do we already have dessert? Eat! Is the chicken simmering in the oven? She languishes like a darling. The punch is already on the table and is bubbling with champagne and celebration. Is there really nothing more to be done? Have you forgotten about the salad? You don’t want to deprive your lady of the opportunity to see the great Chef at work, do you? For this purpose, we left the salad “for dessert,” if you know what we mean. So, let's create a show! Quickly and confidently grate the celery root and apple and effectively, long, and thoroughly mix the dressing. We warn you right away - things are there for three minutes. But even a little acting skills will help you turn this process into a real culinary show. Don't forget the whisk! Mixing salad dressing with a fork is bad manners.
Grocery list:
Chicken breast - 4 pcs.
Blue cheese - 50 g
Grain mustard - 4 tsp.
Bacon - 20 slices (raw smoked)
Celery root - 300 g
Apple - 1 pc.
Yogurt - 150 g
Grain mustard - 2 tsp.
Walnuts - 3 tbsp. l.
Sesame - 1 tbsp. l.
Greens – 1 bunch
Strawberries - 200 g
Champagne - 550 ml.
Sugar - 150 g
Gelatin - 2 tsp.
Lemon - 3 pcs.
Vodka - 1/3 tbsp.

And for dessert we’ll make honey gingerbread. In combination with ginger tea, they will ignite the senses :) By the way, gingerbread cookies can be prepared 3-4 days or even a week in advance. But then hide it and set a reminder in your phone for the evening of February 14th where to look for them :)

The day before the holiday:
We will carry out all preparations a day earlier. In principle, eclairs can be prepared two days in advance, but in this case there is always a risk that by February 14 they will disappear somewhere. If you have iron willpower and the refrigerator is locked with a combination lock, then prepare the eclairs on Wednesday. By Friday they will only become tastier.
And on Thursday we will prepare the main course. Moreover, to save effort and time, we will prepare both the hot dish and the side dish at once. Rub the pork tenderloin with spices, sprinkle with nuts and place in a heat-resistant dish. In the same form we place potatoes in sesame seeds, prepared in accordance with the recipe.
On a holiday:
Forty minutes before the start of dinner, we put the dish with meat and potatoes in the oven and go to make it beautiful. Actually, the festive dinner is ready! You can serve eclairs with coffee and your favorite liqueur. Sweet and sour red wine goes well with pork.
Grocery list:
Pork - 500 g (tenderloin)
Almonds - 40 g
Coriander - 1 tsp. seeds
Mustard - 1 tsp. seeds
Black pepper - 1 tsp. (peas)
Vegetable oil - 7 tbsp. l. (or olive)

For two - both cook
Preparing a festive dinner can be the main highlight of the entire evening. A culinary party for two is a great way to spend time together. Turn on the music and let your imagination run wild. For such an evening, you can choose recipes for more complex dishes, because together, as you know, nothing is scary.

Action plan:
Remove and defrost the shrimp in advance (you can transfer them from the freezer to the refrigerator in the morning so that they defrost by evening).
Let's start the culinary party by preparing a salad. Quickly and cheerfully, in four hands, we cut tomatoes and mozzarella. Prepare a fragrant sauce and assemble the salad.
Place a pan of water for the spaghetti on the fire. Now clean and cut the shrimp in half. All that remains is to prepare the sauce together!
Serve and enjoy your culinary creations together!
And when you are full and rested, it’s time to prepare a chocolate and coffee dessert. Melt chocolate in milk, brew coffee and whip cream. Pour in hot chocolate, then coffee, decorate with cream and delight each other with a fragrant drink!
Grocery list:
Pasta – 2 servings At the beginning of the evening, take out a package of puff pastry without yeast from the freezer. Two hours later, when it comes to dessert, you will thank yourself for such forethought. Let's start the culinary party by preparing a salad. Quickly and cheerfully, in four hands, we cut apples, kiwis and avocados. We collect the salad and immediately treat each other to it. Slices of toasted baguette make a great addition. In general, the concept of this dinner can be described in two words: “cooked and eaten.” Thus, there is no need to wait for the moment when a complex dinner of five courses is completely ready. We prepared the salad and ate it right away. The holiday has begun! So, having slightly quenched your appetite with the help of a juicy and fresh salad, let’s start preparing cannelloni. Distributing roles will help speed up the process. While one is frying the minced meat, the other is brewing the bechamel. And you can fill the tubes with minced meat together - it’s more fun. The cannelloni are baked for forty minutes. By this time you will be hungry again. And finally, the finale of any dinner is dessert! When you start making mulled wine for pears, the most important thing is not to taste it all and leave a little for dessert. Because the aroma will be walking through the kitchen such that...
