Next week is Valentine’s Day, and it is the perfect time to show your family or that special someone in your life that you love them by cooking a special meal. While most of the year it is a good idea to cook healthy and to avoid full-fat versions of traditional Jewish Recipes, but on Valentine’s Day it is okay to create an authentic Jewish meal using authentic ingredients. So break out the butter and cream, because it is time to create a fabulous home cooked meal.
Because this is a special night, make a full meal with appetizers, a main course and dessert. When selecting an appetizer look for tastes and textures that your loved ones enjoy. If you are cooking for a variety of people, try to select a couple of appetizers that will appeal to a variety of palettes. For intimate dinners, plate the appetizers and set them in front of your dinner companions and for large dinner parties, create a buffet style table of appetizers that your guests can select the ones that they want.
The main course for a Valentine’s Day dinner also needs to reflect the tastes of the people that you are cooking for. If you are trying for a Kosher Valentine’s Day dinner, remember to avoid mixing dairy and meat during the main course, and make sure you buy meat products from a Kosher butcher. If cooking a vegetarian dish, richen the dishes by using traditional ingredients and spices.
The perfect dessert course for a Valentine’s Day dinner needs to include chocolate. If you are trying for a Kosher Valentine’s Day dinner then replace milk with soy milk and butter/margarine with a non-dairy margarine like Nucoa. These ingredients can be substituted part for part.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect day to experiment with traditional Jewish recipes. If you are trying to cook a Kosher meal remember to select from either rich parve recipes or succulent beef or chicken Jewish recipes.
