The best Valentine’s Day dinner is the one you make at home, and this collection is built around that idea.
A stovetop shrimp and asparagus risotto or a filet mignon with a fresh herb sauce are the kind of restaurant-quality mains that are more impressive when someone made them for you. The dessert options lean into what February does best: crème brûlée torched at the table, a chocolate cookie that doesn’t require chilling the dough, a blackberry white chocolate pots de crème that looks like it took all day. Add a champagne cocktail or a bourbon smash and you have a full evening without a reservation.
