Basic introduction Chinese name: candlelight dinner mbth: candlelight dinner popular area: European characteristics: romantic homemade method, dinner time, dinner place, dining table chair, desktop layout, diet type, background music, other supplements, special tips, menu introduction, menu 1, menu 2, menu 3, menu 4, homemade method We often see candlelight dinners in movies, but many people must not have done it. The following is. Production materials: whipped cream, milk chocolate, cake slices, intoxicating. Method of making: coat a layer of light cream on the cake slices, then overlap several coated cake slices, cut the milk chocolate into small pieces and sprinkle them on the cream cake at will. Note: When applying whipped cream, you should not overdo it because you like it. Too much cream will make you feel sweet and greasy, and it will also mask the rich taste of milk chocolate. Milk chocolate must be thin and small, which will make it too thick and affect the silky taste. Sweet words: soft sweetness, thick fragrance, like a wisp of tenderness around you. Put a piece on the tip of your tongue, close your eyes, let your mood ripple in the silky feeling, and feel the warmth and sweetness that slowly spread. Indulge in the arms of the person you love the most and feel the tenderness! Declaration of love: when the sunset is drunk, so is the sunset, and no one can hide it. Because of my heart, because my heart is already drunk. Come back, don't leave me alone, look for this fate because of your life. It is best to eat on weekends or holidays, because there is enough time to prepare and buy food during the day. Summer and autumn nights are the first choice. If you are interested and have enough time, you can do it all year round. But it's better to eat at seven or eight in the evening. There is plenty of time to communicate when eating, and enough time to continue romance after dinner and before going to bed. -Sooner or later, it can be adjusted according to the season. Choose the restaurant and balcony at home to eat. If you are in a restaurant, you'd better hang a beautiful picture on the wall near the dining table to set off the atmosphere. If you have a closed balcony, you can also use it. Imagine how comfortable it would be to enjoy the beautiful night view of the city while eating, if you could still see the sunset. Dining table, dining chair, rectangular dining table and round dining table are all acceptable, but the dining table is required to have a certain area to ensure that the dining table is not cramped after placing things. It is best to spread a beautiful tablecloth on the dining table, which can set off the visual beauty of food, cover up the defects of the table top and look elegant at the same time. Chairs, preferably with high backs and lace cushions. If you can have a set of beautifully shaped and exquisite dining tables and chairs, it will definitely add a lot of color to the candlelight dinner. Desktop layout After the tablecloth is laid on the desktop, you can place the items. Candlelight dinner can prepare a set of Chinese or western tableware, which is a little more delicate than usual, so it looks neat and luxurious, and at the same time it can set off the mellow beauty of food to the fullest. The most indispensable protagonist is a candle-a candle can be a western-style "tower candlestick" with branches on it, or a thick candle, and a "candle flower" that can be placed in a bowl and floated on the water. There are many kinds of exquisite craft candles on the market. No matter what kind of candle is used, it is best to put it on a plate to avoid "wax tears" polluting the desktop; Also, it is best to light candles in advance to avoid the influence of black smoke on dining mood. A variety of candles can be combined to create three-dimensional candlelight. By the way, bunches of flowers are indispensable on the dining table, and you can also take out a few to match the candles to set off the atmosphere. Imagine tasting delicious food and smelling the flowers. That feeling is so wonderful. You can choose your own refined Chinese food, but not too spicy and greasy. Hand carving and cold patching are the best choices-if you don't know the chef's carving skills, you should make some cold dishes yourself. It will be nice to put a few hot dishes with all colors and flavors. If you have the conditions or can cook western food or even Japanese food yourself-so much the better. You can choose drinks according to your own preferences, but you should drink less or no white wine-red wine or dry white wine or even beer is a good choice, and it is best to choose the corresponding goblet according to the variety of wine. You can also add a little aperitif and dessert, even better if you can taste cocktails yourself. What is the perfect encounter between wine and food? Wine plays a very important role in western-style catering. Different foods with the right wine will have a more harmonious taste and a more prominent flavor. As for how to match? There is a simple formula to follow-"white meat with white wine, red meat with red wine". In fact, the combination of wine and food is complementary. For example, tannins in red wine can soften the fibers of meat and make the meat feel smoother in the mouth, so red wine is usually used with red meat, such as beef, mutton and pork. The acidity of liquor can increase the refreshing taste, and it is suitable for matching with seafood, and can remove its fishy smell or match with lighter meat such as pork and chicken. As long as you choose the right wine, the delicious taste in your mouth will be added immediately. Background music It would be a pity if the candlelight dinner was not set off by music. Among the kinds of music, it is good to choose beautiful violin and piano music as the background music for candlelight dinner. Western music is the main part of background music, because there is almost no traditional folk music suitable for candlelight dinner in China-but we should avoid using more passionate symphonies or jazz and electronic music, otherwise it will spoil the atmosphere of dinner. There are also some soft light music and daily favorite songs that are also good choices. -but be sure to control the volume of music and turn it down a little, which can produce a hazy aesthetic feeling. If there is a humidifier in the room, you can drop a little perfume in the water to create a wonderful artistic conception. If there are lovers' birthday cakes and red roses on the table, it will be extremely romantic. In dining, you can enjoy romantic warmth and rich and mellow love. Please don't smoke while eating and control your drinking. One thing to remind-slow down the speed of eating properly, because eating is not the purpose, and it is most important to create a romantic life and enjoy the beauty and warmth of love. Candlelight dinner can complement other love programs. Don't rush to wash the dishes after dinner-add a little "small program" after dinner, whether it's a heart-to-heart talk or a romantic duet, it's a good choice, mainly to keep romance and warmth going ... Special reminder, if the quality of candles is not good, lead pollution may occur when burning-so remember to open the window for ventilation after dinner or the next day to avoid polluting the indoor air; And properly control the time and frequency of candlelight dinner. Candlelight dinner can be cooked once in a while, and it is not necessary to cook it every night-this not only explains romance, but also does not hurt your health because of candles. Although the pollution of candles is very small, it is recommended to buy goods sold by regular manufacturers and shops. In addition, when chatting, proper humor and flirting will make the whole candlelight dinner more romantic. To let him (her) know your mind, you can not only choose to go to a western restaurant to taste delicious food, but also cook a sweet dinner for him (her) at home. This kind of food specially prepared for him (her) is full of deep love and will definitely give him a surprise. Enjoy a candlelight dinner. This Valentine's night belongs only to you and him (her). It doesn't matter even if you can only cook instant noodles. Here is a candlelight dinner menu to teach you how to cook candlelight dinner. The main course is dominant in western food, but without a suitable side dish as a partner, it is difficult to play the essence of the whole dish. If you can cook spaghetti, and it's spaghetti with tomato and beef stuffing, it would be great if you can. It is very common to use spaghetti as a side dish in western food, and the main course with it is steak. Pasta with side dishes: Ingredients: tomato sauce (it is best to use tomato sauce so that the taste will not be very sour and the taste will not be very stiff), a peeled and seedless tomato (cut into pieces), chopped green onion and minced garlic. Practice: First cook the noodles with salt water, then put them in cold water for later use, take a pot, heat it, add oil (preferably olive oil, if not, use common cooking oil), add onion and garlic after heating, add tomato sauce and chopped fresh tomatoes, stir fry over low heat, and add the cooked spaghetti to stir fry evenly after the soup becomes thick. This is a steak side dish.

Moderate exercise: 1. Wash and dry the steak with kitchen paper, evenly spread appropriate amount of salt and black pepper on both sides of the steak, and marinate for 10-20 minutes (the marinating time should not be too long. The steak will ooze water after adding salt, and then dry it before frying. 2. Put a little butter in the pot, heat it, add the steak and fry it for 50 seconds, turn it over for 40 seconds, turn to low heat, continue frying for 20 seconds, turn it over until you like it, and serve it out. (At first, the water in the steak itself was sealed with fire to avoid drying the steak; Don't press the steak with a shovel when frying. Add a little butter (about 15g) to the pot, heat it, add minced garlic and scallion, stir-fry until fragrant, add a little salt, minced black pepper (more), add a little water, bring it to a boil with high fire, turn the heat down, and circle it with a shovel until the soup is thick. Finally, pour the black pepper juice on the steak. Next, the rest is to put the plate, decorate it with a few vegetables and cauliflower, and fry a poached egg, which is more perfect. In addition, I need to buy some bread, preferably French round. Who knows that Taoism and France is a romantic city? Learn, hehe.

You can beat it with an eggbeater without a blender. 3. Put the whipped cream on the strawberry and decorate it. Tip: You can also use buttermilk with pulp flavor instead of cream, which has lower fat content and tastes good. Just try to find a little thicker yogurt when choosing, so that the shape is cute. The finishing touch: wine, beauty, flowers, candles, romance between wine and candles. A romantic Valentine's Day dinner, the atmosphere is as important as the food. How to create a dining environment full of Valentine's Day atmosphere? Let's do two tricks for everyone. First of all, of course, wine is indispensable for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner. The chef recommended the 2003 Saint Mirren Chardonnay from Garombo Winery in Australia, which is sweet and easy to please girls. Secondly, the dining table can be carefully arranged. Put a bunch of flowers and light up the dining table at once. Pin a rose on the napkin ring and give her a surprise when she picks up the napkin. Put some incense candles in the middle of the dining table, the taste should be light, and the fragrance will slowly spread out in candlelight. You must choose the right tablecloth, a little lace, or pure pink, which is not tacky but full of love. Finally, good tableware is very important, and chipped or faded tableware is absolutely intolerable. Tableware should not only be bright and clean, but also add a lot of points if there are some unique shapes or patterns.
