Our global network is filled with funny (and often not so) stories about how girls arranged a romantic dinner for their soul mates. True, this did not always end the way they wanted and dreamed. That guy, having tasted a salad with shrimps, was covered with spots due to allergies, then a candle, accidentally falling, then a hungry husband, swallowing slices and chewing light salad, demanded to fry chicken and potatoes. In a word, a romantic dinner is an extremely responsible matter, it can even be compared to walking in a minefield. A step - to the left, a step - to the right - and you can not only embarrass, but seriously quarrel with your loved one. We hope that our instructions will help you avoid the most common mistakes and spend a perfect evening by candlelight.

1. Time and place

A weekday evening is not the best time for one-on-one. Well, firstly, a long, eventful working day often exhausts all nerves and squeezes all the juices. So when, at last, you crawl home, you have only one desire - to eat and go to bed as soon as possible. A familiar picture? Secondly, your soulmate may stay at work: all the food will cool, and you, having smiled with preparations, will fall asleep sweetly on the sofa. Therefore, if it is not possible to transfer romantic plans for the weekend, then you can consider the option of a candlelight dinner in a restaurant. So it will be more, and not for a regular dinner at home with an unpredictable ending. Then you can take a walk around the city and drink at home, say, a glass of champagne as an interlude. But, if you still settled on the option of a romantic dinner at home, it is worth focusing on the details. For example, it is not foggy to hint to your beloved about the surprise that awaits him at home, but to clearly say that you are preparing a romantic dinner, and a delay at work will cause your righteous anger. But the main thing is that you need to think through the dinner menu well.

  Psychologists have figured out what to avoid on a date. If you want to impress your partner, do not make the most common mistakes.

2. Menu

Remember, a little earlier we talked about a girl whose husband did not eat enough salad, and asked for something more substantial? This option is very possible. Therefore, candlelight dinner should not be too light (especially after a working day). Otherwise, your man will not devour you with his eyes, but a refrigerator in which it is still possible to "cho devour". But at the same time, food should not be too dense. A crowded stomach does not contribute to tender feelings, rather, it pulls to the side.

Trying to conquer a partner with an abundance of dishes is a bad idea, however, as well as choosing complex recipes. Standing by the stove for many hours will not add to your good mood. Moreover, the dinner goal is still not in food, but in what follows.

3. Main courses

As the main one, poultry meat is suitable. It is easily absorbed, and the feeling of fullness persists for a long time. Pork or beef is digested for a long time, the fish requires some effort to cope with the bones. Beans and soybeans will also be an extremely unfortunate choice (should I say why?). A light salad of vegetables or seafood can be served with the main course. For dessert - ice cream, well, or a classic of the genre - strawberries with cream. By the way, the latter can serve as a good start for an exciting intimate game.

Suppose, about your husband, you yourself already know a lot of things, but if you have just started dating a man, it would be nice to check with him that he doesn’t eat. For example, some do not like the liver, others do not like onions. Perhaps there are products for which your partner has nuts, honey, etc. Keep in mind many (oils, spices, products) are also very allergenic products. Even a small portion can cause anaphylactic shock in humans.

4. Drinks

Exclude strong alcohol immediately. Still, the head of both of you should be dizzy with love, and not from "taken to the chest." Champagne or wine is a great option. But mixing them is still not worth it; it is better to dwell on one thing. It is generally accepted that red or pink wine should be served with poultry and meat. But this is not a strict prescription. In fact, only taste matters. Delicate meat can well shade white wine. It is much more important to observe another rule: red wine should be at room temperature, but white wine is served slightly chilled.

  This is real art! Sommelier shares secrets on how to choose the right wine in the supermarket, with what dishes to combine it and how to serve.

A cut of several varieties of cheese will go under the wine, you can add a plate of fruit. Be sure to put on the table and a bottle of plain mineral water, but preferably without gas.

5. Serving

✓   Plastic glasses and disposable tableware (well, so as not to wash), you definitely won’t create a romantic atmosphere. Therefore, you have to get beautiful dishes, tablecloths, glasses from the bins. Try not to fill the entire surface of the table with dishes: otherwise, you will get a grand anniversary banquet, not a chamber dinner for two

✓   In the center of the table you can put a small bouquet of flowers, but not a magnificent composition, because of which you can’t even shoot with your eyes. A small vase looks very tender, in which one flower or a floating candle is launched through the water.

✓   And, of course, candles. Here are just the last should be in a safe candlesticks and away from the edge of the table. It is advisable that there are enough candles, not all men like to eat by touch.

✓   Dishes should be portioned so that you don’t have to cut or break anything with your hands. Oily hands look unaesthetic and not romantic. But in any case, the napkins must be on the table. Salad can be put in special waffle baskets, and plates with all dishes can be decorated with lettuce leaves, or, say, olives.

6. Music

About candles, we have already said above. Music is better to choose light and laid-back. We doubt very much that it will be pleasant for your companion to spend an evening to the songs of Stas Mikhailov. The network has a lot of selections of romantic instrumental melodies (for example, composer James Last), retro hits and pleasant jazz compositions. “Serious” music and arias from operas should not burden your evening either.

  For each man, you can choose a melody according to the zodiac sign, it will have a tremendous effect on your beloved. Check it out!

7. Home decoration

From the point of view of rose petals, everything is debatable. Here you decide. All this looks, of course, romantic and cinematic. It’s only in the film that remains behind the scenes, who then removes all this beauty scattered around the room? So if you don’t want immediately after a romantic evening to plunge into the morning weekdays with cleaning the apartment, you can choose the light version. Throw some petals around the festive table. This will add entourage, and will not create additional problems.

8. Fragrances

With these, it's even a little more complicated than with rose petals. We have already said that many oils and incense can cause allergies or asthma attacks. Yes, and not all people can enjoy the rich aromas. I immediately recall the now popular stores with natural handmade cosmetics. You pass by and wonder how you can work there all day and not suffer from a headache? Therefore, the issue of choosing aromas must be approached delicately. The ideal option is a fresh, but unobtrusive smell of flowers on the table: tulips, roses, spruce branches in compositions. Only lilies with a strong odor are best excluded. A good helper is the aroma lamp, in which you can drip a few drops of oil and enjoy the delicate aroma, such as sandalwood. Strongly do not recommend using an air freshener! A heavy artificial odor is more likely to be associated with toilet rooms.

9. Clothing

Of course, sitting down at the table, which is what you usually do not walk around the apartment. Home clothes, funny slippers with a dog, sweatpants with stretched knees, a bathrobe or family underpants can kill romance at all. For a girl, a suitable option is a cocktail dress, light makeup, a simple hairstyle. For a man - a shirt, pants, in general - a neat appearance. Many ladies choose the image of a female vamp for dinner. Immediately appear in front of a partner in a bold dress or erotic lingerie. Well, why then dinner? But what about “there must be some mystery in a woman”? Therefore, we advise all the same to leave the linen “for dessert”. To reach the man, in order to get there, he will still have to try hard: to look after the lady, give compliments, give a kiss and, what the hell is not joking, give the coveted ring.

10. Gifts

Not such a mandatory part of the program. But anyway. Men in this matter, of course, easier. Flowers, chocolates and girls' best friends - diamonds - we will always be happy. But what to give to our chosen ones? The soft stuffed toys, cards and other attributes on February 14 are candidates for sending to the trash. Well, our gentlemen are not so romantic! Deal with it already, ladies. It is better to spend money: A) for yourself beautiful and well-groomed. this concept fits perfectly. B) for delicious food. Choose good meat and expensive wine. In the end, it’s important that a romantic dinner doesn’t happen every day and it takes longer to bring a lot of positive emotions to the two of you.

Instruction manual

Make a tablecloth. Silk, snow-white or cream fabric decorated with colored organza is well suited. The white color is innocence, purity, sublime feelings, and the pink, red or lilac airy canvas of organza will advantageously shade the whiteness and give piquancy. Fasten the fabric with small pins, creating clips and light folds, tie two loose knots, falling from the table on the sides.

Serve the table using beautiful dishes. Champagne is considered to be a classic for a romantic dinner, but if your chosen one / other chooses other drinks, consider the presence of not only high crystal glasses, but also necessary ones. Decorate the legs of wine glasses with multi-colored ribbons, tying playful bows and leaving flowing loose ends.
Do not use paper towels - it is too mundane and prosaic. Wrap a cotton cloth and wrap it with a special ring or ribbon. Such napkins can be decorated with the attributes of lovers - hearts, sparkles, feathers and serpentine.
Place beautiful porcelain plates under the hot dishes, arrange the cutlery according to the serving rules: knives on the right, forks on the left, spoons above the plate.

Put the treats on the table. Place the meat, cheese and vegetable slices in a flat bowl, decorating them with greens. Put fresh fruits and berries in tall flowerpots. Salads are best served not in large containers, but in portions, laying out the ingredients in a slide in the center of the plate. If a sauce is planned for the salad, do not forget to put it next to the salad bowl. To decorate dishes, use slices of lemon, peas, carved figures. Put a jug of clean drinking water.

Complete the table with an indispensable attribute of a romantic dinner - candles. Decorate the candlesticks with beads, ribbons and sparkles, use colorful elements to maintain a single style.

Instruction manual

Spread the candles. You can choose symbolic candles - red, in beautiful candlesticks, with romantic decorative elements, etc. But even simple thick candles of white color and different sizes will look spectacular if you place them on or limit the transition zone to them. If you want to light scented candles, then make sure that your loved one does not have allergies, otherwise the evening will be ruined (you can use an aroma lamp instead of candles).

Make a small flower arrangement. There shouldn’t be too many flowers - enough composition in the center of the table, petals on the bed or in. Flowers should be passionate and elegant: red roses, several twigs, etc. Decorations of dried flowers can also be interesting and romantic - you can put them on.

Pay attention to the design of the table. It is not necessary to cover the table with a tablecloth; cutlery on small decorative napkins placed on a dark polished look very impressive. Prepare two or three wide satin ribbons, throw them across the table crosswise, fasten them on the sides.

Distribute the light source correctly. One should not be limited to candles, turn on a small matte lamp and place it a little further from the table. Do not use fluorescent lights, because your goal is to create a relaxing and provocative atmosphere.

Tip 6: Romantic evening: how to arrange "by all the rules"

The rhythm of modern everyday life is chaotic and constant bustle. In order not to forget about such an important aspect of human relations as emotional contact against the background of constant worries and troubles, you should from time to time bring something new to your family life. For example, you can arrange a romantic evening with dinner in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.

To organize such an exclusive event is not so difficult - you just need to choose the time, place and atmosphere. Preparations for a romantic evening should begin in advance. It’s best to set “time X” on Saturday or Friday evening so that you don’t have to jump up early and rush on. If you want to surprise your soulmate, send her an official invitation to dinner, issued in the form of a solid document or an open love note. A romantic evening also does not go without flowers, gifts and a delicious dinner.

If arranged, he should worry in advance that he will receive a bouquet of flowers (you can previously hide a note in it). When your half arrives at the appointed place, try to give her an atmosphere of relaxation and romance. Even if dinner will take place in your own apartment, you can decorate the room in advance properly: light candles, fill the bath with fragrant foam with aromatic oil, decorate the room with flowers. An invariable attribute of any traditionally considered a set table for a joint dinner. You should also cover it well in advance so that you don’t have to fuss and place the appliances after you sit at the table. Remember that if you plan to have an evening, the dinner menu should be carefully thought out. Dishes should not be greasy or heavy, and drinks should not be too hoppy. It is better to prefer such ingredients for cooking dishes that are natural aphrodisiacs (for example, bananas, strawberries, almonds, wild rice, avocados, honey, eggs). Strong aphrodisiacs are also familiar to us onions and garlic. Remember that heavy and overly sweet dishes are clearly not conducive to intimate exploits.

The same applies to strong drinks: it is better to limit yourself to a bottle of good wine or champagne. You can decorate the table with tall candles in steady candlesticks or small bouquets of flowers. You should not put large bouquets on the table for a romantic dinner: if you plan to sit opposite each other, a romantic evening by candlelight is a great way to surprise a loved one, tune into each other's wave and ignite a spark. In order to prepare for a date, much is not needed: candles, dim lights, romantic music and roses.

Why roses? At all times, this flower was considered a symbol of love. Pink petals are not only a beautiful decor, but also a pleasant aroma that will fill the house.

How to decorate a living room

Usually, a living room or a hall is chosen for a date at home. To create a secluded atmosphere, discard the light from the lamps. Let the candles replace them. Big and small, scented and simple, red, white - the more candles, the better. Place them on the floor, on the table and on the shelves. Shake some rosebuds and scatter the petals between the candles.

A beautiful decoration will turn out if you turn the glass over, put a handful of petals inside, and put a small round candle on top.

To defeat a loved one, lay out a heart or a tender message from the petals on the floor and light it with small candles.

How to decorate a bedroom

A path of rose petals leading into the bedroom will hint at the continuation of a romantic dinner and will set you in the right way.

On fresh bedding, scatter the petals in a chaotic manner, as if they were falling from the sky, or lay out in the shape of a heart in the center of the bed. Petals will act as a natural flavor.

Low vases filled with petals look beautiful. They can be placed on shelves or a bedside table. Beads made of pearls are good for petals.

Make a romantic composition by filling the glass bowl with water, putting a few petals there and adding all the floating candles.

How to decorate the rest of the space

You can create a pleasant anticipation for a loved one long before entering the apartment. Scatter the petals at the entrance to the porch, stairs or in the elevator. In order for a person to understand for whom all this is intended, do not forget about the door mat.

After a hard day's work, it is so pleasant to soak in the relaxing bath. Pink petals come in handy for this purpose. Draw water, drop a few handfuls of petals, turn on soft music ... And invite your other half to join you.

In order not to spoil the romantic atmosphere with the bright light of a lamp, place candles. As candlesticks, you can use ordinary saucers, which are also decorated with rose petals and buds.

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 magic and mystery. Two loving people can forget about everything for a while, and plunge into each other's aura.

And no matter in honor of what event such an evening is organized. It can be the next wedding anniversary, birthday, the day of all lovers, a meeting after a long separation, or just reconciliation after a quarrel. What matters is what the atmosphere will be like this 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 without any special effort.

And today let's talk about what can be prepared for such an evening.

Of course, you need to think through the atmosphere of such an evening. Purchase candles and candle holders in advance. They can be arranged throughout the room where the date is planned. Create a pleasant lighting that relaxes and makes you dissolve in the room.

However, do not organize an evening in the kitchen, and even more so in the bedroom. Each place in the house has its own purpose. Since 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 music will sound in your room. Prepare it so you don’t get distracted later. Make an approximate scenario of the evening.

Prepare a tablecloth and utensils. And think through the menu in advance. And here is an example that we can offer you.

You can take any fish without bones. But telapia is best obtained under such a fur coat.

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

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

5. Roll the pickled pieces of the fillet in flour and fry on both sides until golden.

6. Put the onion on a baking sheet, spread the fried fish fillet with an even layer on top.

7. Potatoes with carrots can be chopped into small strips, but it is better to grind with a grater.

8. Vegetables season with literally false or two mayonnaise, slightly add salt and add fragrant ground pepper. After thoroughly mixing until smooth, spread the vegetable mass in a layer over the fish.

9. Send the pan to the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 35 minutes. Then you can add grated cheese so that after a ten-minute baking, a gentle cheese crust appears.

If the dish is served cold or after heating, and not immediately after cooking hot, 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 flavoring discrepancy in the dish.

10. Cut into portioned squares or rectangles, put on plates and decorate with greens and slices of fresh vegetables at your discretion.

We wish you to enjoy a juicy fish dish!

Good appetite!

Easy to cook and delicious sponge cake

Now in stores and culinary departments, you can choose from a huge number of cakes the one that will be to your liking. But at one time 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 to bake magnificent biscuits no worse than this dessert classic.

The main secret of the airiness of the biscuit lies in the whipped egg whites. 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 will need:

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

Cooking:

1. Carefully separate the chicken proteins from the yolks and place them in a dry bowl. Beat with a mixer so that a 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 the whipping, gradually add half the usual and vanilla sugar in portions. To achieve the appearance of a stable peak-like state of protein mousse.

3. Put 6 yolks in a separate bowl and combine them for whipping with the second half of regular and vanilla sugar. Beat until the mass increases about 2 times.

4. In the yolk mousse gradually spread the “cool” protein dense foam and mix gently.

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

6. You should get a creamy biscuit dough.

In no case do not mix clockwise and counterclockwise, because the airiness may disappear. It is better to mix exciting movements from the bottom up.

7. Lubricate the baking dish with butter. Install parchment paper on the sides and it is also necessary to lubricate it.

8. Fill the form with dough, evenly distributing it along the bottom and slightly scrolling it between the palms so that all the excess air comes out and no unnecessary bubbles form in the biscuit.

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

To make the biscuit high and magnificent, do not open the oven door neither during baking, nor after during the cooling period.

10. As soon as a 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 by a match.

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

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

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

13. Beat the boiled condensed milk with butter with a mixer to make a homogeneous dark-beige sweet cream. Grease them with every cake. Putting them on top of each other, smear the sides with cream, so that they also soak.

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

Enjoy your enjoyment with a simple but so tender 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 to preserve your vitality and romantic mood.

Therefore, choose any option for yourself, and cook for health. And if you want to see other recipes, then. There you will find no less extensive menu for Valentine's Day and all lovers.

Bon Appetit! Love and be loved!

You are planning a dinner alone with your loved one, and it does not matter if this is your first date at home on Valentine's Day or you have been together forever and celebrate this wedding anniversary. In any case, everything should be beautiful, elegant, exciting and at the same time very tasty. What to cook for a romantic dinner for two? Let's talk about what options may be, and consider a few especially original dishes in more detail.

If you are arranging an evening for two at home, use some simple tips and tricks that will help maintain an exciting atmosphere and mystery:

• You should only be together. If you have kids, arrange with grandparents that they will spend the night with them. Even if the children in the next room play computer games all evening or elderly relatives promise you that they will watch TV in their bedroom quietly until the morning, all the romance will disappear. A romantic dinner for two is not arranged behind closed doors; you must be alone in the whole house.
• The whole atmosphere should be romantic, and not just the menu. In no case do not choose a bedroom for such a dinner, and even more so a kitchen. Of course, an evening for two should be organized in the living room or lounge room. The table must be covered with a festive tablecloth and served with beautiful dishes, placed on it and lighted candles. Turn on soft, soft music, and no TV, even if your favorite romantic picture is there. No need to be distracted by the heroes of the film. The heroes of tonight are you!
• A romantic dinner should be light, both in terms of cooking and for the digestive system. As a rule, they prepare a light salad, the main hot dish (meat or fish) and dessert. You can also make a cheese plate, vegetable or fruit canapes.
• As for drinks, you are well aware that neither vodka, nor whiskey, nor even the best Irish beer can be combined with the concept of romance. In this case, only wine is appropriate. Cocktails will not work, because they must be constantly prepared and distracted. Start with champagne, as a continuation, drink a glass of white or red wine (depending on which dishes will be served).

Salads

You need to start a pleasant evening with light salads. In principle, they will also become an addition to meat and fish hot dishes; for a romantic dinner, you should not prepare any heavy side dishes.

Remember! There should be no "Olivier", "Herring under a fur coat", "Mimosa", "Men's whims" and similar salads on a romantic date. Forget about mayonnaise, everything should be easy and elegant.

Cooking

1. Start by washing the berries and letting them dry thoroughly. You can make such a dessert with strawberries, blueberries, strawberries, currants, blackberries and other berries according to your desire and taste.
2. Break the cookies by hand into very small pieces. Do not use a blender, because it will crush cookies into crumbs, and for dessert, it is small pieces that are needed. Divide the resulting mass in half and put in two portioned bowls.
3. Pour cream into a deep bowl, pour sugar in and mix with a mixer for at least 5 minutes to make a thick foam.
4. On top of cookies, apply one coat of whipped cream.
5. Now put raspberries. It must be dry. If after washing it a little water remains, then the berries can let the juice go and then the whole appearance of the dessert will deteriorate. Leave some berries for decoration.
6. On top of raspberries, distribute the whipped cream again to the edges of the bowl.
7. Garnish the finished dessert with berries and fresh mint leaves, sprinkle lightly with icing sugar.

• The meat and fish to be served as the main course should be pitted.
• Make out salads only on portioned plates, no common dishes. The same goes for hot and dessert.
• Instead of salads, you can start a romantic dinner with light snacks such as tomato bruschettas, chicken liver pate or cod liver cream mousse.
• This evening try to do without sharp cheeses, peas, beans, garlic and onions.
• Do not cook many dishes, as for. A table filled with plates loses all the romance.

We hope that our article has been useful to you and the question of what to cook for a romantic dinner for two is no longer left. Let your evening with your loved one (perhaps the most important in your life) become unforgettable!

It is very important to pay attention to the dearest and closest people to us. Sometimes we are so busy and run away somewhere that we remember taking care only during the holidays. But you can arrange a romantic dinner for a woman not only on March 8, but also on any other day!

The main thing to remember is that women prefer “not heavy” food for the stomach and many can follow a diet to maintain their beauty and harmony. Therefore, we recommend, dear men, to focus more on dietary products, as well as vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals.

And in order to make it easier to choose the necessary recipes, you can use the proposed option for the holiday menu or see the previous article about.

Menu:

  1. Chips appetizer

Quite an interesting option for serving snacks ... on chips! Only you need to lay out and serve such an original delicacy almost right before serving, so that the chips do not have time to become sour and retain their crisp essence.

You can make any filling you want. It can be salads, and a mixture of fruits, and even pate or caviar.

Alternatively, you can make the following snack on chips:

Ingredients:

• Round potato chips - 1 large packet (approximately 100 gr.)
• Boiled chicken fillet - 100 gr.
• Boiled Chicken Egg - 3 amount
• Pickled Cucumber - 1 pc.
• Cream cheese - 100 gr.
• Greens - 50 gr.
• Garlic clove - 2 pcs. (optional).
• Sour cream or mayonnaise - 2 tbsp. l
• Salt, pepper - to taste.

Cooking:

1. Cut the processed cheese into small identical cubes. So that the knife does not stick to the cheese during cutting, you can moisten it in cold water.

2. In the same way, chop the pickled cucumber into slices of the same size.

Instead of cucumber, you can use fresh tomato - this will give the salad the aroma of spring freshness.

3. Boiled chicken meat can be crushed either with similar cubes, or tear it into thin longitudinal strips.

4. Boiled eggs are chopped with an egg slicer or rubbed on a coarse grater.

5. Favorite greens (usually green feather onions and dill can be enough) finely chopped with a knife.

If the chopped onion feathers are slightly harsh, they can be slightly added separately in a cup and crushed with a little crush - this will make them more tender.

6. Combine the eggs with herbs and slightly pepper and add salt.

7. If you are sure that your chosen one has a positive attitude to dishes with garlic, then we pass the cloves of garlic through a press and mix it with sour cream or mayonnaise. If the use of garlic is undesirable, then you can skip this step and then season the salad with ordinary sour cream - it will turn out no less tasty.

9. We send the finished stuffing to cool in the refrigerator, and before serving, just gently spread it with a spoon on the chips and lay it out beautifully on a plate.

This filling can be used as a ready-made salad, simply beautifully designed in a bowl or in a salad bowl.

Bon Appetit!

2. Warm   salad"Temptation"

In recent years, not only residents of the coast, but even Siberians can treat themselves to shrimp. The meat of this marine delicacy is quite tasty, low-calorie and rich in easily digestible proteins, amino acids and vitamins D, A, K and a whole complex of B vitamins.

Try to make a very simple warm shrimp salad and it will become your signature dish for many holidays for a long time.

Ingredients:

• Peeled Shrimp - 300 gr.
• Tomato - 2 pcs. medium size.
• Bulgarian pepper - 1-2 pcs. (depending on size)
• Garlic oil - 2 tbsp. l
• Greens (dill, cilantro, parsley) - 1/3 of a bunch.
• Salt, pepper - to taste.

Cooking:

1. From the bell pepper we remove the seminal septum together with the peduncle and seeds and rinse well in running water. Dry slightly and cut into strips. The salad will look very impressive if one pepper is green and the second is red or yellow. But if the pepper is very large, then you can take just one color.

2. First, cut the tomatoes into two halves, and then cut them in equal slices.

3. Defrost shrimp to room temperature. If there was no time to look for peeled in the store, then you can take it in shells and clean them so that only meat is obtained.

4. Grind your favorite greens as small as possible with a knife or cut with special scissors for greens. Several branches or leaves of greenery can be left whole, then decorate the finished dish.

5. In a pan, heat the garlic oil and dip the tomatoes and peppers in it for 3 minutes and fry them.

If you do not have garlic oil, then you can use ordinary creamy or sunflower oil and squeeze a garlic clove into it at least a clove of garlic about half a minute before you start frying vegetables.

6. Send shrimp to stewed vegetables. We add and pepper the resulting mass and, stirring occasionally, fry for another 4 minutes, so that even the raw shrimps have time to cook, and if they were already boiled, then they could better be saturated with vegetable juice and garlic butter flavor.

7. On the festive portioned plates, lay out our hot salad and sprinkle with chopped herbs, as well as decorate with whole leaves. Such a salad is usually served warm, but it will be worthy of praise when it cools.

Bon Appetit!

  3. Roast "Dietary pot"

If you really want meat, it is better to choose its dietary types. The combination of rabbit and turkey is just the right fit. And if you add vegetables to them, and bake it all in a pot, you will get a memorable aromatic roast.

Ingredients:

• Pulp of rabbit and turkey - 400 g each.
• Tomato - 2 pcs. medium size.
• Dry red wine - 1 cup.
• Water - 1 cup.
• Celery Root - 160 gr.
• Onion - 2 pcs.
• Carrots - 1 pc.
• Garlic clove - 4 pcs.
• Sunflower oil - 2 tbsp. l + 2 tbsp. l + 2 tbsp. l
• Greens (onions, dill, parsley) - 1/4 bunch.
• Pepper, salt, spices - to taste.

Cooking:

1. Cut the flesh of the rabbit into small cubes and, salt and pepper, fry in sunflower oil (2 tbsp. L.) For 10 minutes.

2. With the pulp of a turkey we do the same. The breast is best suited, which is conveniently cut into cubes and fried for 10 minutes in warmed sunflower oil (2 tbsp. L.). Do not forget to slightly add salt and flavor with pepper during frying.

3. Grind the greens and garlic cloves.

4. Cut the onion into small cubes and sauté in sunflower oil (2 tbsp. L.) Until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).

5. Cut celery root and carrots into thin strips.

6. Tomatoes cut into cubes.

If desired, you can add sliced \u200b\u200bpotatoes into cubes.

7. In heat-resistant pots we spread all the ingredients in layers: fried rabbit meat, then passivated onions, tomatoes, celery, a little garlic and herbs. In the second step we spread the roasted turkey and repeat the sequence of layers of vegetables and herbs.

8. We mix red wine with water and fill the resulting puff for the roast. So that the water-wine sauce covers the contents of the pot completely, the layers can be gently pressed with a tablespoon.

9. Close our pots with lids and send to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for an hour and a half.

10. Before serving, right in the pots, you can lightly sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs or grated cheese (optional).

Bon Appetit!

  4. Chocolate Madness Cocktail

You can offer another no less tasty, but stronger alcoholic drink with an enchanting chocolate flavor.

Ingredients:

• Chocolate Liqueur - 250 ml.
• Vodka - 150 ml.
• Dark chocolate - 50 gr.
• Ice - 100 gr.

Cooking:

1. Rub the bitter chocolate on a fine grater to make small fluffy chips.

2. Grind the ice in a blender to the state of large crumbs.

3. Pour crushed ice into the shaker and fill it with vodka and liquor. Shake the shaker well for a minute.

4. Pour the finished contents into martini glasses and sprinkle with grated chocolate chips. Serve preferably cold so that the chocolate chips do not spread out over the glass, but are kept on the surface with crushed ice.

Bon Appetit!

  5. Dessert “Fruit Bliss”

Of course, you can make an original cut and serve it beautifully decorated on a dessert plate with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. But it will be much more interesting to taste the dessert of crushed berries with yogurt. It will turn out something similar to a berry-fruit cocktail or smoothie, but if you decorate the treat, cool and serve in a bowl, you will get a terrific dessert, much more useful than regular ice cream.

Ingredients:

• Fresh strawberries - 8 pcs.
• Yogurt 8% - 350 ml.
• Banana - 1 pc.
• Berry syrup - 3 tbsp. l
• Whipped cream - for decoration.
• Cinnamon - 0.5 tsp.

Cooking:

1. Peel the banana and cut into small pieces.

2. Well-washed and dried strawberries, peeled and cut in half.

3. Pour the chopped berries and banana into the blender bowl. Add the syrup with yogurt and cinnamon. Grind everything thoroughly with a blender nozzle until smooth.

The syrup can be tasted like any berry - even raspberries, even kiwi, but cherry is best suited because it brings the original sourness to the dessert.

4. Pour the resulting mixture into glasses and set to cool in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. You can chill in the freezer, but then it will be enough 10 minutes so that the dessert does not freeze to such an extent that it will be necessary to “chop it with a spoon”.

5. When serving, decorate the dessert with whipped cream and any berries (can be cut into quarters or halves of a pair of strawberries).

Bon Appetit!

Now you can easily cook an amazing dinner for your weak half. And at the same time, she will be pleased that you took care of her health and the absence of heaviness after eating. A woman will not need to spend extra hours in the gym after such a romantic dinner.
