Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 * Exported from MasterCook * Menu: Valentine's Day Recipe By : The (Almost) No Fat Holiday Cookbook, by Grogan, page 28 Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Menus Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Sesame-Saffron Crêpes with Artichoke Heart Stuffing and Brandied Tomato Cream Sauce Asparagus Salad with Carrot-Orange Vinaigrette Browned Onion Risotto white wine OR non-alcoholic white wine Chocolate Hearts OR Chocolate Cake Roll with Sweet " Cream Cheese " Filling and Raspberry Coulis espresso or coffee See separate recipes In Roman times and in the Middle Ages, people placed great stock in foods that were purported to have aphrodisiac qualities, and I thought it would be fun to include some of these (tomatoes or " love apples, " onions, saffron, sesame, and chocolate) in our menu. Other traditional Valentine food associations which we have taken into consideration in our romantic dinner are the colors red and pink, creamy mixtures, heart-shaped cakes, and artichokes hearts. So get out your best tableware, light the candles, put on some romantic mood music, and serve this dinner to your valentine. (It's much easier to make than it sounds!) This menu could also be used for an anniversary, a small wedding supper, Candlemas, or May Day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
