Dinner for your beloved with your own hands. Pork tenderloin with potatoes and apples. How to create romance at home

With the combination of the words “romantic dinner”, I personally always have only the most pleasant perceptions. Such an evening is always filled with some magic and mystery. Two loving people can forget about everything for a while and plunge into each other's aura.

And it does not matter in honor of what event such an evening is organized. It can be another wedding anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day, a meeting after a long separation, or just reconciliation after a quarrel. What matters is the atmosphere of the evening. How everything will be arranged and organized.

And we have already touched on such a topic in the article. You can follow the link and see how you can easily create a simply unforgettable atmosphere.

And today let's talk about what you can cook for such an evening.

Of course, you need to think about the atmosphere of such an evening. Purchase candles and candlesticks in advance. They can be placed throughout the room where you plan to have a date. Create pleasant lighting that relaxes and makes you melt into the room.

However, do not organize an evening in the kitchen, and even more so in the bedroom. Each place in the house has its own purpose. Since the dinner is romantic, then the room should be a living room. By the way, the room can be decorated with balloons or hearts.


Consider in advance what kind of music will sound in your room. Get it ready so you don't get distracted later. Write a rough script for the evening.

Prepare the tablecloth and dishes. And plan your menu ahead of time. Here is an example that we can offer you.

Salads and appetizers

Since a dinner for two involves romance, it would be quite appropriate to prepare such appetizers and salads that will be decorated in a somewhat unusual way. And it's great if, at the same time, they can treat each other in small pieces.


You can choose which appetizer best suits your mood: chicken salad with pineapple in tartlets or puff pastry roses. Or maybe you would like a seafood salad more.

Salad in tartlets

Delicate and at the same time beautiful salad in tartlets can increase the level of romance. Still would! It looks almost like "Raffaello", only instead of a piece of paper there is a beautiful bread base. You want to eat it, and it is also convenient to hold it with your fingers so that your partner bites off this crispy basket with a delicate filling.


We will need:

  • Boiled chicken fillet - 200 gr.
  • Boiled egg - 2 pcs.
  • Canned pineapple slices - 200 gr.
  • Walnut - 35 gr.
  • Hard cheese - 80 gr.
  • Tartlets - 1 pack.
  • Mayonnaise, pepper, salt - to taste.

Cooking:

1. Cut the boiled chicken fillet into small cubes and combine in a saucepan or large bowl with canned pineapple pieces. If the pineapple in the jar is located in large pieces or rings, then it is better to cut it in size in the same pieces as chicken meat.


2. To grind nuts and cheese, you can use a grater or chop them with a knife in the form of straws. Add to previous ingredients.


3. Cut the eggs into cubes or use an egg cutter to chop and add to the salad pot.


4. Season with mayonnaise at your discretion, and add salt and pepper to your liking and mix well.


5. Spoon salad into tartlets, and garnish with herbs and nuts if desired.

A delicate salad for a beautiful serving is ready!

Puffs with cheese and sausage (rosettes)

You gave your beloved orchids, and she loves roses? So let's surprise her with an amazing rose-shaped appetizer. The combination of puff pastry and boiled sausage with cheese melted inside the “flower” resembles a hybrid two-color rose, and crispy “petals” melting right on the tongue will definitely blow your beloved away!


We will need:

  • Boiled sausage - 200 gr.
  • Puff pastry - 200 gr.
  • Chicken egg - 1 pc.
  • Cheese - 100 gr.

Cooking:

1. Cut the boiled sausage into thin plastics. Ideally, their thickness should be about 3 millimeters.


2. Cut the cheese with oblong thin plastics, which melts well when heated.


3. In a separate bowl, whisk a fresh chicken egg to a white foam with a whisk.


4. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangular uniform thin layer. Divide it with a knife into ribbons about 3-4 centimeters wide and 3 millimeters thick.


5. Lay sausage slices on each ribbon so that the oval parts extend beyond the edges of the dough. Lay the strips of cheese on top of it, trying to leave small distances between them so that the cheese does not flow out during melting, but remains inside the snack.


6. Gently roll the ribbon with sausage and cheese, pinch the tip of the dough so that the “snail” does not fall apart. Gently turn the edges of the dough and pieces of sausage slightly so that it looks like a rose.


7. Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet, distribute folded “roses” over it.

Be sure to lay out the roses so that there is space between them - after all, the dough will swell during baking and expand to the sides.

8. Spread the “petals” with a beaten egg so that the rosette takes on a ruddy appearance in the oven.


9. Send a baking sheet with a snack in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 25 minutes.

10. Put crunchy edible flowers on a dish and garnish with herbs.

Let the sweetheart rejoice at man-made roses, which she can then eat!

Seafood salad

Now in any hypermarket you can buy any seafood, even fresh, even frozen, dried or ready-made. You can even find a whole assortment of edible sea creatures.

In fact, sea delicacies in appetizers and salads provide not only interesting flavor combinations, but also provide good nutrition. Therefore, it would be great to cook them as an appetizer for a romantic dinner.

We have all been accustomed to such a Japanese dish as sushi and. But not everyone is able to cook them on their own. It is much more original to create a culinary miracle from the same ingredients with your own hands. For example, prepare a salad from a sea cocktail and serve it not in tartlets, but in interesting green small barrels made from cucumbers.


We will need:

  • Sea cocktail - 250 gr.
  • Boiled chicken egg - 2 pcs.
  • Rice - 0.5 cups.

  • Spices, salt - to taste.

Cooking:

1. Dip the defrosted sea cocktail in salted boiling water for 7 minutes. Then recline in a colander, let the water drain and cool. If the delicacies are too large, then it is better to cut them into small pieces.


2. Boil rice in lightly salted water, drain in a colander and let cool to room temperature.


3. Chop the onion into small cubes and fry them in sunflower oil.


4. Grind boiled eggs in the form of cubes and send to a large bowl. Add onion, rice and sea cocktail to them. Stir so that the ingredients are evenly distributed among themselves.


5. Combine mayonnaise with sour cream and ketchup, beat well until smooth. You can add your favorite spices.



7. Cut washed fresh cucumbers into four centimeter pieces.


8. Carefully cut out the core with a spoon, leaving the bottom.

Fish under a vegetable coat

There are a great many recipes for cooking fish. But for a romantic dinner, you need something tender and fragrant.

The main thing to remember is that fish and other ingredients should not contain bones and all kinds of scales that can ruin your mood. Remember that white wine goes great with fish.

The best option is to bake the fish in the oven. And in order not to prepare a separate side dish, and to make the dish look original, you can make a vegetable “fur coat” for our sea meat. So the vegetable juice will soak the fillet and you will get a very fragrant, juicy and incredibly tasty light dish.


We will need:

  • Fish boneless fillet - 500 gr
  • Onion - 1 pc.
  • Chicken egg - 1 pc.
  • Carrot - 1 pc.
  • Lemon juice - 1 tbsp. l.
  • Potato - 3 pcs.
  • Mayonnaise - to taste
  • Sunflower oil - 50 ml.
  • Flour - 50 gr.
  • Salt, spices, herbs - to taste.

Cooking:

1. Peel fresh potato tubers, carrots and onions.


2. Defrost fish fillets, rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into manageable portions. Sprinkle with salt, flavor with your favorite spices and pour over lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes and soak.


You can take any fish without bones. But telapia is best obtained under such a fur coat.

3. Mix mayonnaise with egg and chopped favorite herbs. Roll the fish pieces in the resulting marinade and let marinate for about half an hour.


4. Cut the onion into half rings and sauté until translucent. Remove the half-finished onion from the pan, trying to leave as much oil as possible in it for further frying the fish.


5. Roll the marinated fillet pieces in flour and fry on both sides until golden brown.


6. Put the onion on a baking sheet, spread the fried fish fillet evenly on top.


7. Potatoes with carrots can be chopped into small strips, but it is better to chop with a grater.


8. Fill the vegetables with literally two or two mayonnaise, lightly salt and add fragrant ground pepper. After thorough mixing until smooth, spread the vegetable mass in a layer over the fish.


9. Send the baking sheet to the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 35 minutes. Then you can add grated cheese so that after baking for ten minutes a tender cheese crust appears.


If the dish will be served cooled or after heating, and not immediately after cooking hot, then it is better not to add the cheese, because this layer will harden, it will only break or cling to the fork in separate pieces and create a taste inconsistency in the dish.

10. Cut into portioned squares or rectangles, put on plates and garnish with herbs and slices of fresh vegetables at your discretion.


We wish you to enjoy a juicy fish dish!

Enjoy your meal!

Easy to prepare and very tasty biscuit cake

Now in stores and culinary departments, you can choose from a huge number of cakes the one that will suit your taste and appearance. But at one time it was the most famous "Kyiv" cake. Since far from everyone was able to buy it, and not as often as we would like, because it was instantly dismantled from the shelves. But on the other hand, our mothers and grandmothers learned how to bake magnificent biscuits no worse than this dessert classic.


The main secret of the lightness of the biscuit lies in the egg whites whipped into foam. A huge biscuit can be cut into cakes with a thread or a culinary knife and smear them with any cream to make a real cake.

We will need:

  • Chicken egg - 6 pcs.
  • Vanilla sugar - 10 gr.
  • Flour - 150 gr.
  • Sugar - 200 gr.
  • Boiled condensed milk - 1 can
  • Butter - 100 gr. +5 gr.

Cooking:

1. Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks and place them in a dry bowl. Beat with a mixer until foam forms.


It is very important to ensure that even a drop of egg yolk does not get into the thicket with proteins, otherwise it will not be possible to beat the eggs to the desired consistency.

2. Without stopping whipping, gradually add half of the regular and vanilla sugar in portions. To achieve the appearance of a stable peak-like state of the protein mousse.


3. In a separate bowl, put 6 yolks and combine them for whipping with the second half of regular and vanilla sugar. Beat until the mass has increased by about 2 times.


4. Gradually spread the “cool” thick protein foam into the yolk mousse and mix gently.


5. As you mix the two egg mixtures, gradually stir in the flour, sifting it straight into the bowl. Knead a homogeneous liquid dough without lumps.


6. You should get a creamy biscuit dough.


In no case do not mix clockwise and counterclockwise, because airiness may disappear. It is better to mix with exciting movements from the bottom up.

7. Lubricate the baking dish with butter. Place parchment paper on the sides and grease it too.

8. Fill the form with dough, evenly distributing it along the bottom and slightly scrolling it between the palms so that all excess air comes out and unnecessary bubbles do not form in the biscuit.

9. In an oven preheated to 180 degrees, send a form with dough for half an hour.

To make the biscuit tall and fluffy, do not open the oven door either during baking or after it has cooled down.

10. As soon as a golden crust appeared on the top of the biscuit, it is necessary to reduce the gas and bake it for another 10 minutes. Readiness can be checked with a match.

11. Let the biscuit cool slightly, then remove it from the mold and remove the parchment paper. Cover with a clean, dry towel and let it rest for about 6 hours.


The biscuit must be allowed to infuse so that the impregnation does not soak the dough and there are no crumbs when cutting.

12. With a culinary knife or thread, cut the biscuit into cakes.


13. Beat boiled condensed milk with butter with a mixer to get a uniform dark beige sweet cream. Lubricate each cake with them. Laying them on top of each other, smear the sides with cream so that they are also soaked.


14. The top of the cake can be decorated with grated chocolate, biscuit crumbs, nuts, etc.


Enjoy your enjoyment of a simple, but such a delicate biscuit cake!

How to make a romantic dinner at home unforgettable

An invitation to dinner at home is a serious sign of trust in a gentleman(and sometimes this can be regarded as a readiness to start an intimate relationship!). Therefore, at the initial stage of relations, the organization of a romantic dinner should be approached with all responsibility! But even then, when you have already lost count of dates, such an option for spending an evening together does not lose its relevance!

Here are some tips on how to eat delicious food together:

  1. Have a little surprise. In principle, etiquette does not require a woman (especially when she is the inviting party) to give any gifts to a man - a homemade romantic dinner itself is already her “contribution to the common cause”. All the more pleasant for a man will be some non-banal, but not too expensive surprise - for example, a chocolate bar with his initials.
  2. Prepare something complex and spectacular yourself. No matter how the modern society equalizes the rights of the sexes, men still appreciate thriftiness and culinary zeal in women. Alas and ah! It's them, the peasants, who are allowed supermarket salads and restaurant pizza. And a romantic dinner at a woman's house suggests author's delicacies.
  3. Have a dinner in style. Choose a specific theme (for example, 19th century European or beach party) and organize everything in your chosen style - from the selection of food and music to your own outfit and interior decor. I think you understand that this is not an option for a man to visit your home for the first time, but in order to add variety to an already established relationship, it will fit perfectly!
  4. Dress up, do makeup and hair. Despite the fact that you are not going to leave your native land, your solemn appearance will create a romantic mood for both of you much better than the most exquisite dishes!
  5. Use aphrodisiac products in the dinner menu ( e.g. seafood, ginger, honey) is your "secret weapon" in the kitchen!

How to ruin a romantic dinner at home

If the path to a man's heart runs through his stomach, then the path back can also pass through it! Do you want to get rid of an annoying boyfriend or effectively break up with a guy? A homemade romantic dinner can be the perfect tool!

So, 5 bad advice from Beautiful and Successful:

  1. More alcohol! It is desirable to have different things - so that you want to try one thing or the other ... As a result, you are definitely not threatened by a stormy bed continuation of the evening - you can carefully lay the bainki on the couch for a tipsy macho. Or, as an option, send home by taxi, and arrange a “debriefing” the next day!
  2. More simple hearty homemade food such as borscht or dumplings. Do not forget to accompany with comments like: “We’ll get married, you’ll carry your salary home, and my mother will cook this for us every day!”. If a man is not embarrassed by such a prospect, get ready for the wedding!
  3. Diet menu. For example, by using a salt-free diet. A man may take pity on you, poor thing, and offer to go to a restaurant. Or politely retire after tasting your "sweets". In any case, you will save on products!
  4. Careful selection of musical accompaniment. Of course, it is better to know in advance the musical preferences of a man and act “from the opposite”. But there are also win-win options: an hour of listening to songs from Soviet films - and the rest of the evening is absolutely free!
  5. Attracting a man to his own interests and hobbies. Flip through fashion magazines with him, don't forget to constantly ask him about his opinion about the new Prada collection and the combination of leopard print with pink flowers, tell about the new outfits of all your girlfriends, and at the same time explain how many calories are in each of the dishes of a homemade romantic dinner and why it is everything is strictly forbidden to eat after 6 pm. If a man is really interested in all this, you can really remain friends!

BUT sometimes it's worth having a joint "unromantic" romantic dinner at home! For example, in the "beer + fish + football match" option. Or "pizza + horror". Or "a kilo of ice cream + dancing to the hits of the 80s."

Let a man see that you can be different– emotional, foolish, even lazy! Because the “ideal woman”, always holding the knife and fork correctly, is ... uninteresting and even frightening!
