20 Valentine's Day recipes

Desserts to share

Hearts, molten chocolate and berries: everyone's favorite part of the meal.

Romance without the long cook

Recipes ready in 30 minutes or less.

A perfect evening

The secret to a romantic dinner? Being at the table, not in the kitchen.

  • Dessert first

    Make dessert in the afternoon: all that's left is to take it out of the fridge (or bake the lava cake for 10 minutes).

  • Amounts for two

    On every recipe, set the number of servings: the amounts adjust on their own.

  • Light before dessert

    A fresh starter and a sensible main leave room for chocolate.

  • A homemade cocktail

    A cosmopolitan or a berry mocktail, served in pretty glasses, makes an instant impression.
