And not just any meal, but a Valentine\u2019s Day one at that.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the obvious thoughtfulness that will impress your date, a specially-prepared meal for February 14 has many other boons as well. For one, there\u2019s no need to deal with pesky reservations, or struggle to have a conversation in a noisy venue. And if you do it right, you might even save a little bit of money.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you might be concerned that your culinary skills aren\u2019t quite up to the mark. But if you\u2019re more Clumsy than Ramsey, we have some good news \u2014 if you plan it right, you\u2019ll still manage to earn some cred from your significant other without breaking too much of a sweat.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner 0=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner 0=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner 0=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner 0=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;COOK WHAT YOU LOVE&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd1111&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Averia%20Sans%20Libre%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text 0=&#8221;&#8221;]The first rabbit hole home chefs often fall into when trying to impress, is to equate \u201cfancy\u201d with fine-dining items like beef wellingtons and bouillabaisse. The harder to pronounce, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing could be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>It is more fulfilling to share a simple and delicious meal together, than to be \u201cdefeated\u201d by a complicated recipe sitting in the oven. In this case, success lies with two other words: Sincerity and story.<\/p>\n<p>Picking a cuisine you love demonstrates something that is more heartfelt, and being inspired makes us naturally perform better. This could still be something foreign, like recreating that delicious Florentine pasta you had in Tuscany, or something local like your mother\u2019s <em>rendang <\/em>that you are cooking for the first time. Whatever the choice, your personal experience with the dish will provide a wonderful conversation piece and deepen the process of getting to know each other.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t make an impression. Make it your expression.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12124&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_row_inner 0=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;PLANNING THE MENU&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd1111&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Averia%20Sans%20Libre%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text 0=&#8221;&#8221;]Now that you are in the right headspace, let\u2019s move on to designing the menu.<\/p>\n<p>First, it\u2019s a good idea to check if your date has any dietary restrictions. More people are avoiding dairy and gluten. Does your date have any food allergies or are they following a particular diet?<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t overlook flavours too. Some people are sensitive to spicy food, and others prefer savoury to sweet. That extra bit of consideration will go a long way.<\/p>\n<p>It also helps to find out if they are comfortable with the kind of presentation you are preparing. If you\u2019re cooking Asian cuisine, can they use chopsticks? Would they mind eating from common servings? Are they bad at things like cracking open a shell or peeling prawns? While learning about cultures through food this way can be fun, it may also prove embarrassing to some people.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, pick only items that you can prep beforehand. There\u2019s no way you can enjoy a meal when you\u2019re spending more time in the kitchen. So pick out things that you can cook an hour or two beforehand, then leave the last step (say to warm up in the oven or finish grilling on the stove) for the actual meal itself.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;TASTES, TEXTURES AND TECHNIQUES&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd1111&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Averia%20Sans%20Libre%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text 0=&#8221;&#8221;]To create that ideal home-cooked experience on Valentine\u2019s Day, the right balance will ensure it stays splendid yet is simple to prepare.<\/p>\n<p>A three-course meal is ideal. Dividing the items into distinct categories like an appetiser, a main and a dessert keeps things defined and easy to track. Ideally, have one item on the stove, one in the oven and one in the refrigerator. If you\u2019re feeling up to it, throw in a small starter. Less is really more here.<\/p>\n<p>When designing the menu, think about contrast and complements. Go through the palate range of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy and savoury, as well as textures like chewy, crunchy, creamy and soft to excite. Don\u2019t forget that visual excitement with varying colours is important too. And there\u2019s no need for fancy techniques or specialised equipment like sous vide. Just focus on finding the freshest ingredients and half the kitchen battle is won.<\/p>\n<p>And if you really want to ensure that everything goes perfect, rehearse it with a buddy![\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;ADD SOME PIZZAZZ&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd1111&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Averia%20Sans%20Libre%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text 0=&#8221;&#8221;]It\u2019s easy to make a meal feel extra fancy with a few tasty highlights. You could have an appetiser of Gillardeau oysters. Or accompany your bread with some Bordier butter. Cooking pasta? Add a dash of real truffle oil instead. Having these tweaks elevate your meal without much fuss.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, you could add extra little steps like including aperitifs, digestifs or even granitas as palate cleansers to up the game.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;GET A LITTLE HELP&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd1111&#8243; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Averia%20Sans%20Libre%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_column_text 0=&#8221;&#8221;]If you\u2019re pressed for time, you could always engage some outside help by ordering part of your meal \u2013 like dessert \u2013 from outside, so you can focus on the main course. You\u2019re not being lazy, just outsourcing some of the work so you can focus on the main meal and overall experience.<\/p>\n<p>Offers are likely to abound, like this Valentine\u2019s Day deal from Indulge Teppanyaki &amp; Grill House (below) at HomeTeamNS-JOM Balestier.

Play with warm lighting for a cosier feel, or add in fairy lights for whimsy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Use the appropriate tableware as they are a big part of the presentation. Throw in suitable decor, or use fresh flowers that your date can bring home later. And don\u2019t forget \u2013 scented candles will always help set the mood.
