Tips and tricks for preparing a vegan Valentine's Day meal
- Many of these recipes can be prepped ahead of time! Do as much of the work in advance as you can to make assembling the meal that much easier. Nobody wants to be in the kitchen all night on Valentine's Day!
- Pair your meal with some nice wine. I've put together a guide on how to choose Healthy Wines.
- Create a restaurant-like ambiance! Use cloth napkins and pre-set the table before the cooking begins so you can sit back and relax once you're done.
- Light candles, some on the table of course, but around the room to create a soft glow.
- Choose a playlist of soft music to play in the background.
- Serve your dinner in courses so you can savor each dish, and your company!
Common Questions
Your favorite foods! Really, anything can be a Valentine's meal, but most people want to step it up and make it special. Pasta is a nice choice as it's easy to make but still has that elegant feel.
Get dressed up like you're going out, set the mood with candles and music, fully set your table, and prepare a multi course meal ahead of time to savor with your date!
