Our global network is filled with funny (and often not so funny) stories about how girls arranged a romantic dinner for their other halves. True, it didn’t always end the way they wanted and dreamed. Either a guy, having tasted a salad with shrimp, became covered in spots due to an allergy, then a candle accidentally fell, or a hungry husband, having swallowed the slices and munched on a light salad, demanded to fry the chicken with potatoes. In a word, a romantic dinner is an extremely responsible matter, it can even be compared to walking through a minefield. A step to the left, a step to the right - and you can not only be embarrassed, but seriously quarrel with your loved one. We hope that our instructions will help you avoid the most common mistakes and have a perfect candlelit evening.
Weekday evening - no best time for a tete-a-tete. Well, firstly, a long, eventful working day often exhausts all the nerves and squeezes out all the juices. So, when you finally crawl home, you have only one desire - to eat and go to bed as soon as possible. Is this a familiar picture? Secondly, your significant other may be late at work: all the food will get cold, and you, tired of preparing, will fall asleep sweetly on the sofa. Therefore, if it is not possible to reschedule romantic plans for the weekend, then you can consider the option of a candlelit dinner in a restaurant. So it will be more than just a regular dinner at home with an unpredictable ending. Then you can walk around the city a little, and at home drink, say, a glass of champagne as an interlude. But, if you still decide on the option of a romantic dinner at home, you should pay attention to the details. For example, do not vaguely hint to your loved one about the surprise that awaits him at home, but clearly say that you are preparing a romantic dinner, and a delay at work will cause your righteous anger. But the main thing is to think carefully about the dinner menu.
Psychologists have figured out what to avoid on a date. If you want to impress your partner, don't make the most common mistakes.
Do you remember a little earlier we talked about a girl whose husband wasn’t full of salad and asked for something more substantial? This option is very possible. Therefore, dinner by candlelight should not be too light (especially after a working day). Otherwise, your man will not devour you with his eyes, but the refrigerator, in which there may still be “something left to devour.” But at the same time, the food should not be too dense. A full stomach does not help tender feelings, rather, it’s pulling to the side.
Trying to win over your partner with an abundance of dishes is a bad idea, as is choosing complex recipes. Standing at the stove for many hours will not improve your Have a good mood. Besides, the purpose of dinner is not the food, but what comes after it.
Poultry is suitable as the main meat. It is easily digestible, and the feeling of fullness lasts for a long time. Pork or beef takes a long time to digest; fish requires some effort to get through the bones. Beans and soybeans would also be an extremely bad choice (need we say why?). The main course can be served with a light salad of vegetables or seafood. For dessert - ice cream, or a classic of the genre - strawberries and cream. By the way, the latter can serve as a good start for exciting intimate play.
Let's say you already know a lot about your husband, but if you have just started dating a man, then it would be good to clarify with him that he does not eat. For example, some people don’t like liver, others don’t like onions. Perhaps there are foods that your partner likes - nuts, honey, etc. Keep in mind that many (oils, spices, products) are also very allergenic foods. Even a small portion can cause anaphylactic shock in a person.
Strong alcoholic drinks rule it out right away. Still, both of you should be dizzy from love, and not from being “taken to the chest.” Champagne or wine - great option. But you shouldn’t mix them, it’s better to stick to one thing. It is generally accepted that red or rose wine should be served with poultry and meat. But this is not a strict prescription. In reality, only taste matters. Delicate meat can be complemented well by white wine. It is much more important to follow another rule: red wine should be at room temperature, but white wine should be served slightly chilled.
This is real art! The sommelier shares his secrets on how to choose the right wine in the supermarket, what dishes to pair it with and how to serve it.
A selection of several types of cheese will go with the wine; you can also add a plate of fruit. Be sure to put a bottle of regular water on the table as well. mineral water, but better without gas.
✓ Plastic glasses And disposable tableware(well, not to wash) you definitely can’t create a romantic atmosphere. Therefore, you will have to get beautiful dishes, tablecloths, and glasses from the bins. Try not to fill the entire surface of the table with dishes: otherwise you will end up with a grandiose anniversary banquet, and not an intimate dinner for two
✓ You can put a small bouquet of flowers in the center of the table, but not a lush composition, because of which you won’t even shoot your eyes. A small vase with one flower or a floating candle floating on the water looks very delicate.
✓ And, of course, candles. But the latter should be in safe candlesticks and away from the edge of the table. It is advisable to have enough candles; not all men like to eat by touch.
✓ Dishes should be portioned so that you don’t have to cut or break anything with your hands. Fat hands They look unaesthetic and unromantic. But in any case, napkins must be on the table. The salad can be placed in special waffle baskets, and plates with all dishes can be decorated with lettuce leaves, or, say, olives.
We have already talked about candles above. It is better to choose light and relaxed music. We very much doubt that your companion will enjoy spending the evening listening to the songs of Stas Mikhailov. The network has a lot of collections of romantic instrumental tunes (for example, by composer James Last), retro hits and pleasant jazz compositions. You shouldn’t burden your evening with “serious” music and arias from operas either.
For every man, you can choose a melody according to your Zodiac sign; it will have an amazing effect on your loved one. Check it out!
From the point of view of rose petals, everything is debatable. It's up to you to decide. It all looks, of course, romantic and cinematic. But in the film it remains behind the scenes, who then cleans up all this beauty scattered around the room? So if you don’t want to plunge into the morning routine of cleaning your apartment immediately after a romantic evening, you can choose the light version. Scatter some petals around festive table. This will add ambience and will not create additional problems.
These are even a little more difficult than rose petals. We have already said that many oils and incense can cause allergies or asthma attacks. And not all people may like rich aromas. I immediately remember popular stores with natural cosmetics self made. You walk by and wonder how you can work there all day and not suffer from a headache? Therefore, the issue of choosing fragrances must be approached delicately. Perfect option- fresh but unobtrusive smell of flowers standing on the table: tulips, roses, spruce branches in compositions. Only lilies with strong odor, it is better to exclude. Good helper- aroma lamp into which you can drop a few drops of oil and enjoy subtle aroma, for example, sandalwood. We strongly do not recommend using an air freshener! The heavy artificial smell is more likely to evoke associations with restrooms.
Of course, you can’t sit down at the table, which is what you usually wear around the apartment. Home clothes, funny slippers with a dog, sports trousers with stretched knees, a robe or family panties can completely kill the romance. For a girl suitable option - Cocktail Dress, light makeup, simple hairstyle. For a man - shirt, trousers, overall - neat appearance. Many ladies choose the image of a vamp for dinner. They immediately appear in front of their partner in a bold dress or erotic lingerie. Well, why dinner then? But what about “there must be some kind of mystery in a woman”? Therefore, we advise you to leave the underwear “for dessert”. To get to it, a man will have to try hard: court the lady, give compliments, give a kiss and, who knows, give the treasured ring.
Not such a mandatory part of the program. But anyway. Men have an easier time in this matter, of course. Flowers, chocolates and best friends girls - diamonds - we will always be happy. But what should we give to our chosen ones? Cute Stuffed Toys, postcards and other attributes of February 14 are candidates for being sent to the trash bin. Well, our gentlemen are not so romantic! Get over it already, ladies. It is better to spend money: A) on yourself beautiful and well-groomed. fits well into this concept. B) on Tasty food. Choose good meat and expensive wine. After all, it’s important that a romantic dinner doesn’t happen every day and should bring a lot of positive emotions to you two.
Once, when I was preparing to photograph recipes for my application (https://appsto.re/ru/DLYYC.i), at the request of the photographer, three days before I went to “beautify”. With the haircut everything worked out right away, but with the manicure I had to tinker with it! How many new things I learned about this procedure then! The biggest discovery for me was how long it took me. Neither more nor less - a whole 4 hours! And then I started thinking about how much time our beloved girls spend looking beautiful and how they manage to work, raise children, and us in between! Now I admire their ability to manage time, and I only spent time on a couple of procedures.
But we, men, can do something too! Well, for example, we can prepare dinner in just half an hour! And at the same time, everything will be tasty, appetizing and not even very high in calories!
Here, for example, is one of the options. We will make an Italian Bellini cocktail from dry sparkling wine and peach puree according to the recipe of my friend and chef Ezekiel Barbuto, prepare a hot appetizer of bell peppers, which will whet the appetite a little, and for the main course we will serve chicken liver with peaches and a green mixed salad , which usually drives women's taste buds crazy.
It is advisable to do all three recipes in parallel, but if you are not confident in your abilities, cook as convenient for you. And by the way, let this happen before her eyes. It will turn out: you will receive applause, somewhere something will not work out as planned - there will be something to laugh at!
So, men (and maybe ladies), let's get started! And let's start with a cocktail, so that your chosen one's appetite will work up a little, she will relax a little and stop rushing to the stove, because today the place there is already occupied!
For a cocktail (about 4 glasses) you will need:
So, open the peaches, drain the syrup, and put a few halves in a blender cup.
Blend the peaches with a blender, adding syrup with a spoon until you get a thick puree.
Place 3-4 teaspoons of puree in a wine glass and carefully spoon the prosecco into the glass.
If you want to garnish your cocktail, cut a strawberry in half and garnish the glass!
Hand the cocktail to your loved one, take a couple of sips yourself and slowly move on to the pepper appetizer. The recipe is very simple and incredibly tasty. It is magical both hot and cold. While you are cooking, you can tell us that for this recipe it is best to take peppers grown in our strip. Their taste is more pronounced, their skin is thinner and, it seems to me, more tender.
To prepare you will need:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Wash the peppers and once the oven is hot, place them in and bake until the skins on the peppers begin to “bubble.” It will take you 10-15 minutes.
Take it out, let it cool slightly and remove the skin with a knife. Do this carefully so that the pepper remains intact as much as possible, otherwise all the juice that has formed inside it will leak out, and this is the most delicious thing.
Place the pepper on a plate and peel the garlic. Place it on a board, crush it with a knife and cut it smaller.
Sprinkle garlic pepper on top, add a little salt and pour olive oil.
Serve it with a second glass of Bellini.
And take a break from the stove yourself and finish off all the pepper. which was prepared after satisfying the first hunger. But don’t get carried away with cocktails, the last dish for today awaits you.
You need the following ingredients:
Clean the liver from the films and cut into equal, but fairly large pieces. The liver should look like the photo below.
Heat two frying pans, pour oil into one of them, and leave the other dry. In the one with oil, throw the liver and fry it for 5-7 minutes. It should become slightly elastic when you press it with your finger. Try cutting one piece. Inside, she should be “on the edge.” That is, there should be no blood, but clear “juice” should be released.
While the liver is cooking, cut the peaches into slices. Each peach can be cut into 6-8 pieces. Place the peaches in a dry frying pan and fry a little.
Meanwhile, remove the lettuce from the bag, wash it and leave it in a sieve or colander to drain excess water. Then take the jam and add 2-3 tablespoons to the liver. Add a little salt.
Stir the liver and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. While it is stewing, take out the salad and place it in a deep plate, pour a little oil and stir.
Place the salad in the center of the plate.
Remove the liver from the stove. Arrange it with the peaches.
Drizzle a little balsamic vinegar over the top.
Voila! Pour the girl a new portion of champagne, take off your apron, light the candles and enjoy the conversation. Have a good evening!
P.S. Men, I have advice for you, or even a request! I understand that you are always focused on results, that’s how we are designed, but preparing dinner, especially for your girlfriend, is also a process. And sometimes it is much more interesting than the result itself! Enjoy him, and let her enjoy you this evening too!
First of all, you need to choose what exactly the upcoming evening will be like: traditional or unusual. Candles and chocolate-covered strawberries are great, but what's stopping you from having a themed date? For example, in the style of the 20s? Or in the spirit of your mutual favorite movie? Based on the theme, you can choose music, menu, entertainment and even costumes.
There are two ways here: either discuss the date in advance, or surprise your partner. The last option is, of course, more romantic, but there is a risk that this evening your crush will plan something or simply be late at work.
To prevent the surprise from being spoiled, ask in advance to come to your place under a plausible pretext (if you do not live together) or plan a joint meeting with friends who, of course, will not come
Subdued light and pleasant aromas are conducive to romance. and flowers are a classic, but you can experiment and make them up original composition. Well, add garlands, lanterns and aroma sticks. And don’t forget about the main symbol of love - the heart.
Another decoration solution is to rearrange the furniture. Try to remove dinner table and have a picnic at home on the floor or move the bed to the center of the room and make it the main date spot.
And, of course, pleasant music. Make it from your favorite songs or turn it on.
When planning a romantic dinner, try to adhere to three rules:
Here are a few dishes that you and your partner will love.
