Dinner for Two
Valentine's Day Recipes
Cooking at home on Valentine's Day means no reservations and no rush. Most of these recipes serve two or are easy to halve, and none of them keep you in the kitchen all evening.
Make dessert first: the strawberries and cheesecake jars set in the fridge, and the lava cakes can be filled in their ramekins up to a day ahead, ready to bake while you clear the plates.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an easy romantic dinner to make at home?
Garlic butter steak cooks in about 12 minutes in one pan, plus resting time. Serve it with a green salad or roast potatoes, and finish with chocolate lava cakes, which bake in about 14 minutes while you eat.
Which Valentine's desserts can I make ahead?
Tiramisu and no-bake cheesecake jars are made ahead and chilled, and chocolate-covered strawberries keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Lava cake batter can be poured into the ramekins and refrigerated for up to 1 day, then baked straight from the fridge for 2-3 minutes longer.
