Here are nine of my favorite alternatives to dining out at a restaurant for Valentines Day.
(Plus, you get to eat the project at the end).
Tons of companies offer different types of kits for differing palates and varying interest levels.
For those whod like totry cooking scallopsfor the first time, try Blue Apron.
For a refreshing and satisfying dinner, try asushi kit from Williams Sonoma.
Why waste time doing two separate things when you could do them at once?
I’ve since deleted other normal movie theaters from my mind.
For those who dont enjoy indecisive moments in the wine store,try a kit that includes it already.
Most of these kits include the pieces, but rarely are they presentation ready.
(Read here for more ways to give the gift of meat.)
Get a little bougie and hire a chef to come and cook for you.
If your budget is real tight, hit up the local culinary school.
it’s possible for you to post the opportunity and rate, and see if you get any bites.
Whether it’s one friend or 12, it’ll be a truly memorable Valentine’s Day.
The dress code: sweatshirts and stretchy pants.
You get the guidance of a chef instructor, top-notch ingredients, and maybe youll even learn something new.
One-time classes,especially themed ones, are usually fun, light-hearted, and low-pressure events.
Fine, you could do a winepairing;after all, wine tastes even better with snacks.
It can also taste god-awful if you pair it wrong, and thats where the professionals come in.
Check out yourlocal wineriesor wine stores to see if theyre hosting any Valentines Day tastings.
(And again, similarly to cooking classes, you cando a virtual pairing classat home.)
Why leave all the fun to cured meats?
Order delivery (It needed to be said.)
At the risk of seeming obvious, ordering delivery needs to be on this list.
Its the go-to option because its brilliant.
No need to make reservations, unearth charcuterie boards, see other people, or even put on pants.
To some folks, nothing is more romantic than that.
