Well, the season of love is upon us again, and I don’t know about you, but single or taken, this is merely an excuse for an edible treat. If you’ve got the task of cooking this Valentine’s Day and you want to pull something special out of the bag, I’ve got you covered. All of these dinners are for two people and easy enough for one person to cook, but also perfect to cook as a pair. You can check out all of my Date Night Dinners, but here are my 6 top picks for 2026!
