]]>Starter
You ideally want something light yet super tasty. An easy option with great results is an antipasti spread of olives, pickles, cheeses, and crackers. This kind of ‘help yourself’ starter can help ease any tension and nerves at the start of the date.
Main
A simple yet effective main that’s sure to impress is steak with some tasty sides. Go all out and get some high-quality cuts of meat that will fry up well. Alongside this, you could rustle up some simple yet satisfying herby potatoes. Just boil some potatoes and once cooked add to the pan some butter, dried parsley, and thyme as well as seasoning. Have some steamed veg of your choice to accompany the steak and potatoes.
Dessert
A fancy meal wouldn’t be complete without a sweet treat to finish it off. For something delicious but not too heavy, try poaching various fruits with spices and sugar and serving with ice cream.

]]>Cacio E Pepe
Cacio e pepe or a similarly simple pasta dish is a great way to impress your date without worrying too much about method. If you’ve got the funds, splurging for really good parmesan, fresh ingredients, and fresh pasta if you can get it will make this meal absolutely delicious without much stress or even much cleanup. Buy a take-and-bake bread to go alongside it and you have a completely fresh meal ready to go.
Hot Pot
Hot pot is a nice option for a date night because it’s a communal experience. You’ll make up the soup and “cook” the ingredients together, so you can each make exactly the soup you like and there won’t be any conflict on flavor. Also, because the prep involves a lot of individual ingredients that don’t rely on each other, you don’t need to worry about the whole thing coming together. If one of your ingredients doesn’t prep right, no worries, there’s still a bunch more that won’t be affected.

If you’d like to go a more emotional angle, why not cook your date a dish you grew up with? If you’re able to ask your family for the recipe and method, then you’ll have someone there to walk you through it so you won’t be trying to figure the whole thing out alone. This is a great way to bring you and your partner closer together and help them learn a little about you.

“I’m so inspired by traveling and eating out,” Rodriguez shares. “I also get a ton of inspiration from other cookbooks. But when it comes to date night, I just ask myself (or sometimes my husband), ‘What do you want to eat?’ I don’t worry about ease, if the kids will eat it, or if it’s super nutritious. I simply make the food that we are craving, because it’s date night and we should look forward to the food — it should feel special and, I think, a bit indulgent.“
That’s the type of recipes you’ll find on her profile, so hurry up and plan your perfect date night!
