Cooking a romantic meal on a budget
It’s the month of love! Wondering how to make a romantic dinner for two on a budget? Here’s how to plan a cozy dinner at home:
- Create a special atmosphere with a few simple decorations like tea light candles, rose petals and some hand-picked flowers from the garden.
- There’s no need to buy a fancy-schmancy bottle of booze at an exorbitant price. Look for cocktail or mocktail recipes that you can rustle up with what you already have in the cupboard.
- Plan your menu around pantry staples that you don’t have to go out and buy, like deviled eggs, pasta alfredo, and ice-cream.
- Be creative! A meal doesn’t need to be elaborate to be good. Make a salad dressing using herbs from your garden or bake some funky cupcakes that you can personalise.
