Drinks
Strawberry white chocolate martini
Be still our beating hearts. We have finally found the drink of our-dreams -- a strawberry martini flavoured with vanilla vodka and white crème de cacao.
Appetizers
Strawberry salad with sugared almonds
Some people believe strawberries are an aphrodisiac, others, that almonds bring good fortune. So get lucky with our "perfect bite" -- a fork crammed with crisp lettuce, scarlet strawberries and sugared almonds, all coated in a sweet-and-sour poppy seed dressing.
Deliciously easy tomato soup with Parmesan dumplings
Looking for the perfect quick and easy tomato soup recipe? Here it is, a delicious tomato soup that can be made in under 30 minutes. But don't let the speed fool you. This quick bowl of comfort not only offers up depth of flavour, but also is elegantly topped with Parmesan dumplings to make it a perfect entertaining first course.
Mains
Horseradish-crusted beef tenderloin with herb gremolata
Beef tenderloin. Tender. Loin. True to its name, this is the butteriest cut of beef, the best of the best that we love to haul out for celebratory meals. Coated in a crust of spicy horseradish and Dijon mustard and then served with a zesty gremolata of parsley, rosemary and thyme, this flavourful, satisfying tenderloin is tops.
Spicy pasta puttanesca
Quick and easy, spicy and fragrant, robust and satisfying, it's no wonder this Neapolitan dish, pasta puttanesca, is so popular.
Dessert
Raspberry meringue nest
It's always a challenge to improve on a classic, but, as always, Chef Lisa is up to it. Here, she takes the classic pavlova and transforms it from ho-hum to oh-yum. Meringue nests, with crisp exteriors and soft, light interiors, are packed with a homemade, sweet raspberry filling and finished with an airy pillowy topping. The perfect ending to your Valentine's feast!
