[NEWSLETTER] Wow your partner this love month! š
We thought to inspire you this month to bust out your pots and pans and cook a nice meal with your significant other. Often these small gestures mean the most to the person you love and itās a nice time for both of you to take time out of your busy schedules and really focus on the two of you.
What is also great is that you can either choose to make it a comfy chill Valentineās Day dinner or you can spice things up by dressing up and snapping pictures in your living room like youāre at a five-star eatery.
Men itās honestly the best of both worlds because when was the last time a restaurant gave you the best table in the place, control the music and let you bring your dog?
These TikTok recipes work for couples, throuples, boys nights or just chilling with yourself with a bottle of red and your fav movie
Risotto
Risotto is a great metaphor for a relationship. Both take time, attention and cannot be left alone. I know it may sound daunting but with two people working together to make the risotto, it will be easier.

Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce
I think pasta is synonymous with romantic dinner ideas maybe itās because of the dogs sharing a piece of spaghetti in Lady and the Tramp. But a spicy rigatoni with vodka sauce is so easy to make that you can spend more of your romantic evening together watching romantic comedies orā¦ making love.

Homemade Pizza
Whatās more romantic then pizza? Eating homemade pizza in sweatpants on your couch!1 You can even go as far as making the dough yourself or you can skip the process and go with store-bought dough. The best thing about homemade pizza is that you can personalise it however you would like.

Steakhouse Dinner at Home
This is a classic you can never go wrong with. Bring an elite steakhouse dinner home with a great piece of meat, cooked together perfectly with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This dinner requires managing multiple recipes, so it will be a fun activity to prepare you for your romantic evening inside.

Thank you manbox for sharing these amazing recipes with us. My partner and I are definitely trying out the mushroom risotto š„ for our Valentines day dinner. She loves mushrooms so much so I thought “why not”.
I was planning on doing the whole setup on my own, the plating, candles, rose pedals, champagne, deco just to name a few. However she opted in and I thought why not do the whole thing together. That will definitely give us more time together, talking, laughing and sharing memorable moments. ā„
Happy new month #Manbox!!
Since I’ve never cooked with my partner, I think making the Risotto dish together would actually be romantic for the both of us. And trying a new dish is just a cherry on top.
#MonthOfLove #Manbox
Floppy Pizza will do the trick for me even though I am not much of a cook I’ll even try making the dough myself to make it extra special for my partner. #manbox #romance#masterchef .
Oh wow! Thank you for cooking in idea. I was planning on taking my lady out, but now the tips you have given are definitely changing my mind! I think we will bond even more by preparing our own meals over some red wine or champagne. I must just make a list of all the ingredients we will need. Thank you #Manbox
With the loadshedding not giving us a break, I am planning on having a nice romantic braai with my person.
I have already bought her a gift, so now I am only left with spoiling her.
Great ideas to show our other half, just how special they are to you. All these ideas teach us that it is far more important to spend TIME with your partner, than spending money on gifts.
I gta try the steak house dinner…she wants surf n turf…will just add on
This article is perfect for me as I trying look for dishes I can prepare to surprise my wife with on valentines day. I will prepare dinner for 2 and make her pasta with vodka sauce as I know pasta is her favourite meal. Thank you manbox for coming through for the guy.
Homemade Pizza is the best recipe for Valentines Day, on the 14th February last year 2022 my girlfriend & I went to a restaurant it was all good we enjoyed ourselves. This year it’s a different year, I want to stay indoors and cook for her while she’s at work then later we can watch football matches together
thank you for these tips and recipes. i plan to surprise my wife with the steakhouse dinner this valentines and some extras.
