Valentine's Dangerously

How food writers Benjamin Lews and Rodrigo Velloso do Valentine's Day, with new recipes and recipes from their books

VALENTINE'S DAY RECIPES

Starting with

This salad will go straight to the lining of your heart - Show your sweetheart that you are into them by cooking something that will stick to his or her heart...literally! Fried goat cheese medallions help to make any rabbit food (lettuce, frissee, mesclun greens, etc.) taste great, and will really bond to valentine heart's arteries.

and

Chicken with 3 fresh herbs you'll want to eat in bed - These days people confuse good food with love. When you're with someone new the best seduction strategy is to make something really delicious like this. Chances are, they've been eating insipid food and a dish this tasty will make them all emotional and stuff. They won't know exactly where all these emotions are coming from or why, but the food will be an unlikely suspect. After all, good food is be bad for you. God forbid it is the food that's getting them all riled up. Instead, their minds will do a little transference: if it isn't the food making them feel this way, it must be you!. Seduction complete.

perfect with

Perfect basmati rice - When you make this rice, be sure to add a nice bit of butter. As long as you follow the rule to never eat more than you can lift, you'll be fine!

or

A passion for lamb - Are you stuck in a relationship based on uncomfortable silences punctuated by occasional arguments about nothing in particular by the filcker of TV light. Sigh. Remember when Valentine's was a sure thing? A passion for lamb is 100% guaranteed to take your relationship back to sunshine, rainbows, vibrating beds and Hello Kitty. It shows your passion for your little lamb chop. Who can resist?

perfect with

Crispy roasted potatoes - As in cooking, the side dish in romance is usually less complicated and time consuming. The "side dish" understands that the entrée requires a lot of work and care. Unfortunately, in romance, it’s very hard to make the entrée and the side dish come together…If you have this problem, good luck to you this Valentine's Day. May you pick the right one!

and for dessert,

Brigadeiros (little balls of love) - Chocolate! They say that eating large amounts of chocolate provokes a biochemical reaction very similar to the emotions we call love and lust. People who have been dumped recently will tell you this is true. We’re wondering what happens when you have lots of chocolate when you are already in love. Do you have an orgasm right there and then? If somebody tries this, please let us know…

or

Nobody's gettin' any pomegranate ice cream - If we don't get any, then nobody is getting any! One night, we were at this bar and one of of our friends was making progress with the best looking woman there. Heh heh, or so he thought until he suggested "let's have ice cream at our place." By the time this "from scratch" dessert was ready to eat, everyone had passed out cold - alone. So, if you're bitter about someone else's happiness this Valentine's Day, we have two words for you: icecream party!
