Each house is a fortress for the family living in it. From time to time, some families have a romantic dinner that binds the marriage bond. Best of all, if the evening comes as a surprise for the other half.
Where to begin
Discuss plans for the evening beforehand so that there are no other planned activities. It is recommended to arrange such an event at the end of the week, because in the event of a stormy night, the next working day will seem very difficult.
Another tip for a successful evening is to make sure that no one is interfering with you. No relatives and roommates should be at home. This evening is only for two. But what to cook for a romantic dinner for a loved one.
Making a menu
This one of the important issues in the preparation of dinner is solved quite simply, because there should not be a lot of food, and, accordingly, the time for organizing a dinner will be reduced. You need to start by planning your menu. You should not cook fatty and laborious meals. The main thing is that the food on the table should look beautiful and be tasty.
The most ideal menu option: salad and meat dish. You should not turn a romantic dinner at home into a regular meal, serving ordinary rice, buckwheat or fried potatoes. Light fruit or vegetable salads, as well as Caesar salad, are quite suitable. The main thing is that they should be light. Olive or sunflower oil is suitable for dressing, but fatty sour cream or mayonnaise must be completely excluded. Canapes or small light sandwiches can be made to complement the salad.
An increased appetite will pacify the hot dish. This can be lean fish baked with vegetables in foil. You can also bake chicken and potatoes in the oven (both the whole carcass and its individual parts - wings, thighs or drumsticks). Pork is also fine. The most important thing is that the hotter is low-fat and not too fried. The dish should be light so that after dinner there is no feeling of heaviness in the stomach.
A delicious romantic dinner will end with a dessert, of course, a light one. No cookies, pastries or cakes should be on a romantic dinner. It is best to serve ice cream in a beautiful glass, sprinkled with syrup or sprinkled with grated chocolate. You can also serve a large bowl of fruit (best sliced for convenience).
From alcoholic beverages, you need to focus your choice on the most romantic - wine or champagne. But best of all, of course, you should give preference to a drink that you both like. In this matter, you must remember that the purpose of dinner is not to get drunk.
By following all these simple recommendations, you can easily and quickly prepare a romantic dinner, which will soon become a habit and will delight your chosen one more and more often.
Additional recommendations
When serving the table, do not overload it with a large number of plates, glasses and other things.
An indispensable attribute for any holiday, and dinner is no exception, are candles, which should be in harmony with the general combination of furnishings. They should be medium in size, but in addition to being placed on the table, they can be placed around the perimeter of the room.
To create a special romantic atmosphere, you should light an incense stick or warm up an essential oil.
