First date dinners

It can be tricky to negotiate the myriad pitfalls that stand between a first date and a second bite of the apple, but a little research goes a long way. It's best to find out whether your date is a committed vegetarian, or tee-total, before we serve up foie gras flambéed in brandy. Likewise, an insight into your date's likes and dislikes can save you both a lot of embarrassment, ill-will and wasted food.

Your date should feel special but not stifled, so subtle dishes done well are the order of the day. A full-on assault of oysters, strawberries and champagne is probably a no-no, but well-presented, lightly flirtatious finger food followed by a lip-smacking main course and a decadent fondue will be a sure-fire hit.

Starters

Maki rolls with pickled ginger
Lemon, chilli and white radish salad
Orange, potato and rocket salad
Lemon prawn pan fry

Main courses

Baked cod with a herby crust
Marinated salmon with chilli, lime and honey
Salad of endive lettuce with steamed red mullet
and coriander dressing

Desserts

Passion fruit meringues
Flirtatious fondue with strawberries
Espresso and ice cream (affogato)
Chocolate Desire for two to share

Menus for comfortable couples

Start your romantic meal as you mean to go on with oysters, reportedly a breakfast staple of Casanova. Many people swear they're best fresh from their shells with just a dash of lemon juice or Tabasco sauce. Get your teeth into the Rabbit saddle for a full-on flavour.
For a light dessert, the recipes for Caramelised oranges with honeyed ricotta and the Sautéed cherries with biscotti cantucci. Or, if you have room for more, finish the meal off with a chocolate-coated endorphin rush - Chocolate fondant with poached strawberries.

Starters

Double-baked goats' cheese soufflés
Guinea fowl with warm pumpkin salad
Baked camembert with thyme and garlic croutons

Alternative ideas

Whether you're attached but refuse to follow the herd or single and satisfied, buck the trend this Valentine's Day. Forget caviar and chocolate hearts - get together with like-minded friends and make up your own rules.

Throw caution to the wind and indulge in all the food shunned by romance-hunters. There's no need for niceties and dainty dishes when you're among friends. Tear hunks off a crusty loaf and spread with the pulp from baked garlic, then dip into hearty Camembert fondue. Or savour food deemed too messy for dates such as sticky spare ribs or we can make a Chinese-style buffet and let rip with the chopsticks.

Full-on first courses

Onion soup with cider and Stilton
Jerusalem artichoke broth
Baked garlic
Cheese fondue
Chestnut and mushroom-stuffed cabbage parcels

Messy mains

Sweet and sour pork
Egg fried rice
Stir-fried vegetable wraps
Chinese spare ribs
Forty garlic clove chicken with garlic

Defiant desserts

Chocolate biscuit cake
Cider sorbet
Irish coffee

Burns Night Menus

Burns Night Menus

Many people and organizations hold a Burns' supper on or around Burns' Night – 25th January. These may be informal or formal, only for men, only for women, or for both genders. Formal events include toasts and readings of pieces written by Robert Burns. Ceremonies during a Burns' Night supper vary according to the group organizing the event and the location.

The evening centers on the entrance of the haggis (a type of sausage made from a sheep's stomach) on a large platter to the sound of a piper playing bagpipes. When the haggis is on the table, the host reads the "Address to a Haggis". This is an ode that Robert Burns wrote to the Scottish dish. At the end of the reading, the haggis is ceremonially sliced into two pieces and the meal begins.
