There are few things more romantic than preparing your loved one a well thought out and delicious meal just to show them how much you love them. The lovers’ culinary tribute is a special occasion that is designed to do just that. This day of expression and giving is a holiday that any couple can celebrate on any day when you have free time on your hands and when the two of you are willing to roll up your sleeves and enjoy making a mess of the kitchen. The goal at hand is to each prepare your lover’s favorite home dishes over the course of the whole day from breakfast, lunch, to dinner and even to late night snack if you so wish. The first step is for you and your loved one to each craft a full day’s menu of favorite home cooked meals and dig up any favorite recipes you might have lying around the house. When the both of you have crafted your menus the next step is to share them with each other and set off preparing and dazzling each other with the specific selected full day menu they have ordered.

After a well organized trip to the grocery store (perhaps the night before) you and your loved one can spend the following day in the kitchen preparing a menu of your partner’s favorites. Spend the day together cooking, baking, and tasting. Set a romantic table setting, impress each other with your culinary wizardry and enjoy your favorite foods together with aprons, pots and pans, and oven mitts dirtied and used. If you enjoy trying this once make it a tradition every month or year. With each new menu and experiment create a shared recipe book that you both can pull out when revisiting a dish you never want to forget.
