From starter to dessert, these delicious recipes will make your Valentine's Day one to remember.

We celebrate Valentine's in plenty of different ways, from gifts like bouquets of flowers, and bottles of bubbly, to weekends away and lavish meals out. I

If you fancy a day in this year, we've come up with a selection of romantic Valentine's Day recipes to get you both through the day - one tasty meal at a time.

TIP: Have a heart shaped cookie cutter to hand.

Breakfast

Egg Toast

We're starting really easy with this one. All you need is a heart shaped cookie cutter to make this lovely breakfast. Simply toast your bread, cut out a heart, place in a frying pan and crack an egg into the hole.

Bacon Hearts

If you desire a slightly more substantial breakfast then these bacon hearts will hit the spot. While your toast is toasting and your egg is frying just slice up some bacon (or buy streaky bacon to make it a little easier), grease a baking tray, make some heart shapes out of two pieces and pop it under the grill.

Appetisers

Caprese Salad

This classic salad has had a Valentines Day food makeover. Prepare everything as normal with sliced tomato, cut your mozzarella into hearts and drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Spread a touch of green pesto on to the tomato extra flavour.

Cheese Fondue

There's no better time than the holidays to indulge and this cheese fondue for two will leave you wanting more! Combine 1/2 pound grated cheese of your choice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 garlic clove, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of brandy. Slowly add the ingredients to a pan, warming it up over a low heat. Make sure to keep stirring to avoid lumps and bumps.

We recommend using a high quality, flavoursome cheese that melts well.

Once it's all smooth and melted, serve your fondue with bread and vegetables.

Dessert

Cherry Pie Hearts

Keeping on the heart theme, we have these delicious mini cherry pies, which are extremely easy to make. Roll out puff pastry and cut out around 20 hearts for the casing, using the whole sheet of pastry.

Lay half the hearts on a greased baking stray and scoop some cherry pie mixture onto them. Cover with the remaining hearts and press the edges with a fork. Bake in the oven on 180° celsius for 15 minutes and sprinkle with sugar to serve.

Peanut Butter Hearts

Wow your loved one with these peanut butter chocolate truffles, a real Valentines Day food treat. Blend a jar of smooth peanut butter with 1/4 cup butter, 2 tablespoons of milk and a pinch of salt to make the filling and mould into heart shapes by hand. Next melt your favourite chocolate and cover your hearts, repeating this until you have your desired thickness. Sprinkle with chocolate and salt on your last layer to finish. Yum!
