Luxury vegetarian recipes for Valentine's Day
Starter: seasonal salad
Set the tone for the evening with a luxurious creamy Jerusalem artichoke soup, or make the most of the short but sweet blood orange season with a warm winter salad of artichokes and feta. For a lighter bite, serve a delicious dip such as beetroot & mint or courgette & tahini, with plenty of spicy za’atar croutons to share.
Main course: easy veggie bakes
Pull out all the stops with a decadent treat of truffled parsnip & brioche pudding with hazelnut & thyme butter, or wrap halloumi into crispy filo pastry parcels and serve with a sweet potato tahini mash. For an aesthetically enticing vegan option, these falafels with spicy tomato & cashew sauce are sure to impress. Short on time? Dress up a pack of shop-bought ravioli with artichokes, leek and lemon for a memorable meal in minutes.
Dessert: indulgent puds
End on a high note with something sweet. Enjoy a delicious melt-in-the-middle chocolate fondant, or go for a gooey toffee pudding. For a fruity favourite, try our individual Chinon apple tarts, or if you're a fan of a chocolate sponge but want to ditch the dairy, try our vegan chocolate cake.
Brunch inspiration
Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to tuck into an indulgent breakfast in bed. Serve up a bright and bold brunch of griddled cornbread with devilled eggs & avocado or spinach baked eggs with parmesan & tomato toasts. For the sweet-toothed, our chocolate-filled pancakes with caramelised banana or pink-hued porridge with beetroot, apple & cranberry compote are sure to satisfy. If you’re vegan, our tofu brekkie pancakes will set the day off to a good start.
