Bistro Steak with Buttermilk Onion Rings / Bon Appetit

Shoyu Ramen / Bon Appetit
From Bon Appetit – “Bringing ramen home takes a trip to an Asian market, three days of work, and your largest pot, but this low-stress (really!) labor of love might be the best soup you’ll ever make”.
Oysters in Gelée / Saveur
Pair Kumamoto oysters on the half shell with tiny, melt-in-your-mouth cubes of aspic in various flavors in this truly seductive recipe by Chef Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin, NYC.
Spatchcocked Lemon Herb Chicken / Gourmet
Roast chicken is always a good choice for an easy-to-prepare romantic meal for two. Cutting out the backbone and flattening it – known as spatchcocking a bird – allows the chicken to cook quickly and evenly, resulting in moist juicy meat. A flavorful marinade of lemon and herbs infuses the chicken with its heady scent.
Stuff Artichokes / Food Network
If you come from an Italian family you probably grew up on this stuff – and LOVE it! Pro tip from the chefs at Food Network Kitchens: Nestle your artichoke in a bowl of breadcrumbs so it stays upright while you stuff it.
Pistachio Rhubarb Trifle / Gourmet
Oh sweet seduction…this is the kind of dessert you will both “ooh and aah” over. A wonderful finale to your romantic meal for two.
