Valentine’s Day Roundup

Valentine’s Day Roundup

If staying in for Valentine’s Day is your idea of a good time, we’d like to help. Our friends around the interwebz have posted some gorgeous ideas for spoiling your special someone(s), whether you want to keep it casual or really wow them.

Zen Can Cook


Chef Eric puts together some of the sexiest menus I’ve ever tasted with my mental mouth, and he has the photos to match. Every time he posts a new dish I’m essentially guaranteed a sex on a plate moment. His Special Menu for your Valentine is swoon-worthy.

Steamy Kitchen


Aside from loving the name of Jaden’s blog (and we’ve had a food/sex conversation to match – *rowr*), I also love her variety of recipes. This year her Valentine’s Day post is a fun one, especially if kids are on your Valentine list. Her video on making Cupcake Pops is a little bit of adorable.

Sassy Radish


Though it’s not specifically marked for Valentine’s Day, Olga’s Pine-Nut Tart with Rosemary compelled me to stop and take a moment to myself. Her photos are always gorgeous, but her palate is even better, and I love how the thoughts of these flavors dance in my head.

Toy with Me


If you want to go the salacious route, I’ve included a riff on the Dinner for Two menu from our Gilded Fork: Entertaining at Home cookbook for Toy with Me, my favorite new sex blog. Food Porn – The Ultimate Foreplay includes more of my ranting on aphrodisiacs, because dispelling such myths is an important part of my mission.
