Valentine’s Dinner at Home by Andy Cooks

Valentine’s Day is one of the busiest nights of the year for restaurants, but let’s be honest—crowded tables, overpriced prix-fixe menus, and rushed service aren’t exactly romantic. If you really want to impress, skip the chaos and make the Valentine’s dinner at home instead.

Andy Cooks has crafted the ultimate romantic Valentine’s dinner that’s simple to make but packed with restaurant-quality flavor. This elegant menu features rich, slow-cooked gnocchi with duck ragu and pecorino, a light and creamy whipped ricotta with peaches and hazelnuts, and fresh, golden focaccia for two. To finish, a classic apple tarte tatin brings the perfect sweet touch to a night of great food and even better company.
