Valentine’s Day Recipe Roundup

February 7, 2014 By Manu 1 Comment

Valentine's Day Recipe Roundup

As Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought of putting together a roundup of a few of my favourite recipes.  It’s always hard to choose, as I like everything I publish (what I don’t like doesn’t get on this blog… ever!), but I think these are all fantastic ideas for a romantic dinner.  Some of these recipes are classics like Gravlax, Oysters Kilpatrick, Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, Sole Meuniere and Tiramisu.  Other recipes are more innovative and sophisticated like Parmigiano Reggiano Gelato, Purple Gnocchi, Strawberry Risotto, Chocolate Espresso and Chilli Mousse.  But then, when to dare if not for Valentine’s Day???  Ready to drool?? Here goes MsM’s Valentine’s Day Recipe Roundup!  Ah!  And don’t miss my next recipe as that too is Valentine’s Day worthy!
