The first meeting, the first date, the first romantic evening together... We sacredly keep these events in our memory all our lives. And even after many years, they still evoke awe and a happy smile. But, as they say, you have been married for a long time and firmly, and romantic dinners have long flown into quiet family dinners, there is no that enthusiasm and happy sparkle in your eyes. It's sad, isn't it? But feelings are alive, so why not refresh them by briefly plunging into the past and, as it were, simultaneously looking into such a promising future. And for this you don’t need to “reinvent the wheel” at all, but simply arrange a romantic dinner for two, which will become another tender declaration of love.
This is a responsible matter, so it is important to think through everything in advance and, most importantly, 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 bit of passion and, of course, a little mystery and unpredictability. There is no rush or incredible accumulation 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 this is what everything was designed for: two cutlery, candles, champagne, flowers and the dishes you have prepared: one or two appetizers, salad, main course and dessert.
Food should not be heavy; it is not intended to fill the stomach, but to stun with its appetizing appearance, exquisite taste, tease with its smell and give pleasure. By the way, contrary to popular belief that champagne is a must on the table, it is worth noting that it can be replaced with your favorite wine or a light, intriguing cocktail - it all depends on the taste preferences of the person for whom this wonderful surprise is being prepared. Let there be quiet, unobtrusive music (your favorite song or melody), which does not interfere with the conversation, but rather encourages it. Don't skimp on creativity and imagination. The appearance of your dishes must certainly be beautiful, and therefore pay special attention to their decoration: more fresh herbs and bright, life-affirming flowers, this will create that very romantic mood that will be with you throughout the dinner.
A romantic dinner for two should surprise and make your partner, with whom you have spent many years, look at you in a new way. And for those who will have this romantic dinner for the first time, you will not only be able to amaze with your culinary skills, but also show how interesting, multi-faceted you are and have that very “zest” that every man strives to see in his chosen one. There is no template in preparing dishes for a romantic dinner, because this is a small story about the love of two hearts, and, as we know, no two identical stories exist. But... we can always suggest a few recipes that we hope will be very useful to you.

In order to arrange a romantic dinner for your beloved “half,” you don’t have to wait until February 14 or March 8. And you shouldn’t even wait for the weekend - you can organize a pleasant evening in the middle of the work week, the main thing is not to oversleep before work the next day. “Surprise” and “mystery” - these words should become the motto of the upcoming evening. And so that this very evening does not become a bolt from the blue for your beloved, start artillery preparation in the morning. Write a note on a long strip of paper with words of love and a promise of a wonderful evening at the end of a hard day, and also warn of surprises. Tear the paper tape into several pieces and place them in different places. One, for example, in the bathroom, another in the kitchen, next to the coffee maker, put the third in your cosmetic bag or purse. Arrange the pieces of the “puzzle” so that your beloved girl can compose a message from them during the morning preparations.
When your intrigued partner leaves for work, prepare a surprise for your loved one for a romantic dinner called 
"Rain of Petals" To do this, buy a bag of petals at a flower shop and stock up on strong threads. At home, take a regular garbage bag (preferably green or blue, so that there are no bad associations) and make several cuts 5-7 cm long at the bottom, connected by short jumpers. Tie threads to the jumpers. Fill the bag with petals and attach it above the door, and secure the threads to the door. The scheme of this surprise is as follows: the girl opens the door to the apartment, the door swings open, the threads are stretched, the jumpers at the bottom of the bag break, and the petals rain down in colorful rain right on the head of your amazed lady. It is advisable to capture this moment on video. And for a guaranteed result, practice in advance to be completely sure that instead of a surprise there will be no embarrassment.
Another pleasant surprise for a romantic dinner for your loved one can be “flying flowers”. To prepare this surprise, buy balloons filled with helium and tie one flower to each balloon using fishing line. Flowers floating in the air are unusual and unusual.
Place small candles on the floor of the apartment and place a note under each one. Let the hint notes lead your beloved to the bathroom, where she can relax after a working day in fragrant foam with a glass of champagne, and then to the table. By the way, the table does not necessarily have to stand in the center of the living room and be an example of restaurant chic: a romantic dinner means comfort and warmth of communication, so the table can be set in the kitchen. Dim or turn off the lights and light candles. You need to choose candles that are tall and as thick as possible, this way you will protect yourself from drops of melted wax. Place them in different places: on the floor, shelves, windowsill, just remember about safety! Cover the table with a white tablecloth, laying it so that the ends of the tablecloth hang down at the corners of the table, and place a brightly colored tablecloth on top of it (for example, red, dark green or rich orange). This tablecloth should be slightly smaller in size and should be laid by shifting the corners by 45° relative to the lower tablecloth. In the center of the table, place a wide dish filled with water, in which flower buds, petals and small candles float.
And now the actual romantic dinner for your beloved. It is advisable to set the table so that you do not have to periodically jump up and run for the next dish or cutlery. In the end, you are not preparing a feast, but a cozy evening together, so a salad, a main course with a side dish and light snacks will be enough. If you intend to hold out until dessert, then after dinner you can move closer to the TV and have a tea party while watching your favorite movie. But that’s later, but now let’s get to the dishes. Since this is still a dinner, albeit a romantic one, the food should be not only light, but also satisfying. After all, the working day is over. Therefore, you cannot do without meat or seafood. Pay special attention to seafood, because they contain substances that increase libido. In addition to seafood, ginger and other warming spices have stimulating properties. “Culinary Eden” offers you a choice of several types of dishes from which you can create the menu for your romantic dinner.

When the almonds have cooled slightly, remove the skins from the nuts; this is not difficult to do. After this, fry the nuts in a dry frying pan for 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly so that the nuts do not burn. Grind the nuts in a blender until pureed.

Love and romance to you!
Larisa Shuftaykina
Representatives of both sexes face this question at least once in their lives. On the one hand, with your beloved (beloved) paradise in a hut with a cup of tea and a dried sandwich. On the other hand, you always want to celebrate a significant moment (and the thought of a romantic evening comes at a turning point in a relationship) and prepare something truly worthy of being called romantic dinner for your loved one.
Here are a few rules to keep in mind when organizing a romantic dinner:
Food should be prepared quickly, easily and without requiring the skills of a chef. This is understandable - who wants romance after 4-5 hours spent at the stove. I give my simplest and fastest recipes with photos.
For the process of sharing a meal to be truly romantic, meat, poultry and fish must be boneless. Let it be easy to use a knife and fork, and clean hands may soon come in handy.
I advise romantics to do without onions, garlic, salted fish and sharp cheeses. All these are unnecessary smells for the continuation of the evening, you will agree.
Cooked food should not cause discomfort after a couple of hours. Don't cook anything too spicy or fried. We will also leave beans and peas for less romantic occasions, for example.
Don't cook too many different dishes. Served table will lose all romanticism, if you force him with plates of dozens of appetizers. One salad, one hot dish and one dessert are enough.
The salad must be served directly on the plate. On two dishes, more precisely. Let it look like a complete masterpiece, like in a restaurant. You can do this with both a hot dish and dessert.
Prepare dishes, tablecloths and napkins without picture. It's better to decorate the table romantic accessories- candles, hearts, flowers and bows (see some examples in my article). Only in this case the table setting will not seem tacky.
Now about the products from which we need to prepare our home-made romantic dinner. I don’t know how effective aphrodisiac products are, but since every people inhabiting our planet has such products, it means there is something in it. Even the purely psychological effect of contemplation and anticipation of gastronomic pleasure in a pleasant campaign will triple us.
These are the products:
Avocado, bananas, mushrooms, caviar, nuts, coffee, strawberries, sesame seeds, honey, almonds, celery, dates, chocolate, eggs.
There is no meat in this list, but in the minds of Russian romantics, it is the most preferred aphrodisiac , so we prepare our favorite dishes with peace of mind.

With the combination of words “romantic dinner”, I personally 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 it doesn’t matter in honor of what event such an evening is organized. This could be another wedding anniversary, a birthday, Valentine's Day, a meeting after a long separation, or simply reconciliation after a quarrel. What matters is what the atmosphere will be like that evening. How everything will be arranged and organized.
And we have already touched on this 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 about the atmosphere of such an evening. Purchase candles and candlesticks in advance. They can be placed throughout the room where you plan to have a date. Create pleasant lighting that relaxes and makes you disappear into the room.
However, do not organize an evening in the kitchen, and especially not in the bedroom. Every 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 about what kind of music will be played in your room. Prepare it so you don't get distracted later. Create a rough scenario for the evening.
Prepare a tablecloth and dishes. And think about the menu in advance. And here is an approximate option that we can offer you.
Salads and snacks
Since dinner for two involves romance, it would be quite appropriate to prepare appetizers and salads that will be decorated in a somewhat unusual way. And it’s great if at the same time you can treat each other with small pieces.
You can choose which appetizer best suits your mood: chicken salad with pineapple in tartlets or puff pastry rosettes. Or maybe you'll prefer a seafood salad.
Salad in tartlets
A delicate and at the same time beautiful salad in tartlets can increase the level of romance. Still would! It looks almost like Raffaello, but instead of paper there is a beautiful bread base. You want to eat it, and also comfortably hold it with your fingers so that your partner can bite off this crispy basket with a delicate filling.
We will need:
- Boiled chicken fillet – 200 gr.
- Boiled egg – 2 pcs.
- Canned pineapple pieces – 200 gr.
- Walnut – 35 gr.
- Hard cheese – 80 gr.
- Tartlets – 1 pack.
- Mayonnaise, pepper, salt - to taste.
Preparation:
1. Cut the boiled chicken fillet into small cubes and combine in a saucepan or large bowl with canned pineapple pieces. If the pineapple in the jar is arranged in large pieces or rings, then it is better to cut it into the same size pieces as chicken meat.
2. To chop nuts and cheese, you can use a grater or chop them into strips with a knife. Add to previous ingredients.
3. Cut the eggs into cubes or use an egg slicer to chop them and add to the pan with the salad.
4. Season with mayonnaise at your discretion, add salt and pepper to your taste and mix well.
5. Spoon the salad into the tartlets and, if desired, decorate with herbs and nuts.
A delicate salad for beautiful serving is ready!

- Boiled sausage – 200 gr.
- Puff pastry – 200 gr.
- Chicken egg – 1 pc.
- Cheese – 100 gr.
- Greens - for decoration
Preparation:
1. Cut the boiled sausage into thin pieces. Ideally, their thickness should be about 3 millimeters.
2. Cut the cheese, which melts well when heated, into oblong thin plastics.
3. In a separate bowl, beat a fresh chicken egg with a whisk until white foam.
4. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangular, even, thin layer. Divide it with a knife into strips approximately 3-4 centimeters wide and 3 millimeters thick.
5. Place sausage slices on each belt so that the oval parts extend beyond the edges of the dough. Place strips of cheese on top of it, trying to leave small distances between them so that the cheese does not leak out when melted, but remains inside the snack.
6. Carefully roll up the ribbon with sausage and cheese, pinch the end of the dough so that the “snail” does not fall apart. Carefully turn out the edges of the dough and the pieces of sausage slightly so that it looks like a rose.
7. Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet and distribute the rolled “roses” on it.
Be sure to arrange the roses so that there is space between them - the dough will swell during baking and expand to the sides.
8. Coat the “petals” with beaten egg so that the rose gets a ruddy appearance in the oven.
9. Place the baking sheet with the snack in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes.
10. Place crispy edible flowers on a plate and garnish with herbs.
Let the darling rejoice at the hand-made roses, which she can then eat!

It's so simple, tasty and beautiful!
Fish under a vegetable coat
There are a great many recipes for cooking fish. But for a romantic dinner you need something tender and fragrant.
The main thing to remember is that fish and other ingredients should not contain bones and all kinds of scales that can ruin your mood. Remember that white wine goes great with fish.
The best option is to bake the fish in the oven. And in order not to prepare a separate side dish, and to make the dish look original, you can make a vegetable “coat” for our sea meat. This way the vegetable juice will soak the fillet and you will get a very aromatic, juicy and incredibly tasty light dish.
We will need:
- Boneless fish fillet – 500 g
- Onion - 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 the fish fillet, rinse well and dry with a paper towel. Cut into convenient portions. Sprinkle with salt, season with your favorite spices and add lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes and soak.
You can take any fish without bones. But it is telapia that works best under such a fur coat.
3. Mix mayonnaise with egg and chopped favorite herbs. Roll the fish pieces in the resulting marinade and let marinate for about half an hour.
4. Cut the onion into half rings and sauté until translucent. Remove the half-cooked onion from the frying pan, trying to leave as much oil in it as possible for further frying of the fish.
5. Roll marinated fillet pieces in flour and fry on both sides until golden brown.
6. Place the onion on a baking sheet and spread the fried fish fillet on top in an even layer.
7. Potatoes and carrots can be chopped into small strips, but it is better to chop them using a grater.
8. Season the vegetables with literally a spoonful or two of mayonnaise, lightly add salt and add aromatic ground pepper. After thoroughly mixing until smooth, spread the vegetable mass in a layer over the fish.
9. Place the baking sheet in 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 cooled or after heating, and not immediately after cooking hot, then it is better not to add cheese, because this layer will harden, will only break or cling to the fork in separate pieces and create a discrepancy in taste in the dish.
10. Cut into portioned squares or rectangles, place on plates and garnish with herbs and pieces of fresh vegetables at your discretion.
We wish you to enjoy a juicy fish dish!
Enjoy your meal!

Easy to prepare and very tasty sponge cake
Now in stores and culinary departments you can choose from a huge number of cakes the one that will look and taste to your liking. But at one time the most famous was the “Kiev” cake. Because not everyone was able to buy it and not as often as we would like, because it was instantly taken off the shelves. But our mothers and grandmothers learned to bake fluffy biscuits no worse than this dessert classic.
The main secret of the airiness of the sponge cake lies in the egg whites whipped into foam. A huge sponge cake can be cut into cake layers using thread or a chef’s knife and coated with any cream to make a real cake.
We will 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 not even a drop of egg yolk gets into the bowl with the whites, otherwise you will not be able to beat the eggs to the desired consistency.
2. Without stopping whipping, gradually add half of the regular and vanilla sugar in portions. Achieve the appearance of a stable peak-shaped state of the protein mousse.
3. Place 6 yolks in a separate bowl and combine them for whipping with the second half of regular and vanilla sugar. Beat until the mass has approximately doubled in size.
4. Gradually add “steep” thick protein foam into the yolk mousse and mix gently.
5. As the two egg mixtures are mixed, 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.
Under no circumstances should you stir clockwise or counterclockwise, because the airiness may disappear. It is better to mix with exciting movements from the bottom up.
7. Grease the baking dish with butter. Place parchment paper on the sides and grease it too.
8. Fill the mold with dough, distributing it evenly along the bottom and lightly rolling it between your palms so that all excess air comes out and unnecessary bubbles do not form in the sponge cake.
9. Place the form with the dough in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for half an hour.
To ensure that the sponge cake turns out tall and fluffy, do not open the oven door either during baking or afterwards while it is cooling.
10. As soon as a golden brown crust appears on the top of the biscuit, you need to reduce the gas and bake it for another 10 minutes. You can check the readiness with a match.
11. Let the biscuit cool slightly, then remove it from the pan 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 steep so that the impregnation does not soak the dough and there are no crumbs when cutting.
12. Using a chef's knife or thread, cut the biscuit into cake layers.
13. Beat boiled condensed milk with butter with a mixer to obtain a homogeneous dark beige sweet cream. Coat each cake with it. Stack them on top of each other and coat 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 enjoyment of this simple but so tender sponge cake!
