Try this gourmet three-course dinner for Valentine’s Day, you won’t regret it

“Every special occasion, especially living in quarantine conditions, when we don’t have the opportunity to go to a restaurant, provides a great opportunity to create a cozy vacation at home and to diversify everyday life. Well, for us, a holiday with a touch of romance revolves around food, because it is the main element of the festive atmosphere in our home, ”says the famous blogger.

Vilma Juodkazienė, a food expert at retail chain Iki, confirms that a romantic dinner on Valentine’s Day is especially suitable for creating a festive evening. Especially since some foods, in addition to their taste properties, have other advantages. “Certain products have long been known to act as aphrodisiacs and evoke romantic feelings. Foods that spark passion can be figs, avocados, asparagus, bananas, hot peppers, strawberries, seafood, so they should definitely be included in the festive menu, ”says V. Juodkazienė.

Great opportunity to show attention.

Kristina and her husband tend to plan the entire script for the night and, in addition to cooking a gourmet dinner together, on special days like Valentine’s Day, they try to do what makes them both happiest. For example, spend time watching movies after dinner.
“I am in favor of having vacations at home every day and seeking pleasures in the smallest details, but occasions such as Valentine’s, friendship, engagement or wedding anniversaries give an impetus to take a step and show our other half more attention, spending more time together, assuming true values, appreciating those close to us and thanking them, ”says K. Pišniukaitė-Šimkienė.
The blogger offers you to set up a restaurant at home on Valentine’s Day and invites you to try her own exclusive menu.

“Thinking about the Valentine’s Day menu, I wanted the dishes to be reminiscent of a restaurant, not a home kitchen, but it was just as important not to have to get tired of using pots all day. Therefore, these dishes combine the gourmet taste, the Instagram image and a relatively simple and fast production, ”says the food blogger.

For a romantic three-course dinner, she offers a puff pastry tart with pesto sauce, serano ham and burata, risotto with shrimp, and for dessert, Kristina asks if there could be anything more romantic than a chocolate and strawberry duo.
