But when we combine this day with food, we create something special. Food is what humanity uses to speak love to one another. Nothing tells someone that you care more than their favourite home-cooked meal, made from scratch by someone they love. Food binds us to one another, and we reinforce that bond every time we share a meal with someone we love.
As the saying goes, the key to someone’s heart is through their stomach, so what better way to make your loved one happy than to cook them a meal with your own two hands.
Go slow
While speed is certainly a prerequisite, especially if you’re short on time, days like Valentine’s Day are opportunities for us to spend more time than usual preparing food. You’ll be giving the gift of food and the most precious thing you can share on earth: your time. And giving your time is sure to make your loved one feel valued because, in an age of uncertainty, it’ll remind them of the certainty of your bond.
Develop flavour
Try these delicious recipes which take a little time to develop flavour. It’ll be like dining at home without the hefty price tag.
