Everyone knows the way to true love is via the stomach, and this menu is a traffic-free highway for sweethearts. Most recipes can be made ahead so there’s extra time for whispering sweet nothings. They’re impressive yet simple dishes: I have a vision that a gentleman who doesn’t often cook might make this meal for his beloved, and therefore it should be achievable for an infrequent cook.
Keep the table setting restrained: you’ll be gazing into each other’s eyes anyway. Mood lighting will help the Liqueur and the Turkish delight jelly gleam even more seductively, so go with classic candles or dial down the dimmers.
Take your time cooking the cutlets, turning carefully to keep the crumb intact.
TO SERVE:
Bookend this meal with the Spiced apple liqueur then put it away for another occasion. Every time you drink it, you’ll remember this lovely meal. Continue with the Panna cotta and have the Loaf on the table as a decorative feature to nibble with both savoury courses. Wrap up dinner with the Love cake, laced with legendary aphrodisiac ingredients, before wrapping your loved one in your arms.

The music for your Romantic rendevous is loving but not soppy – it’s more ‘woo, baby, you’re amazing’ than ‘oh darling, let me stare into the limpid pools of your eyes’. So, we’ve got a bit of jazz and Crazy Love from Van Morrison, plus lots of female voices before getting jiggy with old smoothies Barry White and Al Green.
