Impressive Valentine’s Day Recipes

A love of good food is universal, it’s what connects us all… trust me, I’ve spent a lifetime trying to prove this very point. So this Valentine’s Day, skip the dinner reservations at a fancy restaurant and practice the art of seduction from the comforts of your own kitchen. Here are a few menu ideas to get you started. You could play it safe with steak or hearty pasta, or be brave and try making your own Thai, Spanish or Chinese meal. After dinner, settle in on the couch with a good food movie—for me, these are sexier than your run-of-the-mill romantic comedies. Here are my top ten faves.
