“fancy” french dinner
For Valentine’s Day this year I picked some ambitious french recipes and just went for it! The plan was for my husband and I to spend the evening cooking together, but he ended up down and out most of the day with a migraine so it became a solo project. I’m so so so happy with how everything turned out - it was all delicious!

For a truly unforgettable French dinner, consider exploring classic dishes that complement the elegance of the meal. Roasted artichoke hearts are a delightful starter that offers a unique flavor and presentation. Serving fondant potatoes, known for their creamy texture and rich taste, provides a comforting yet sophisticated side that pairs beautifully with various proteins. To elevate your meal even further, you could prepare a classic coq au vin or a coq au cidre, both showcasing the depth of French cuisine. Finish your dinner with a traditional crème brûlée or a rich chocolate mousse for dessert, adding that sweet touch to your romantic evening. Remember, the ambiance is key; soft lighting and gentle music can transform your dinner into a magical experience. So gather your ingredients and enjoy the process of cooking with love!
So cute 🥰
