many other words can describe the night of love, loving and lovers. Sexy, Sensual, Erotic, Sexual, Heartfelt, Beautiful...and so on. I was happy to see many happy, smiling faces in the dining room last thursday for the night where we as cooks have a unique opportunity to really set a couples night in motion and turn up the heat. Get the blood rushing so to speak. I love cooking for valentines day. I love cooking any day and night, but have always really enjoyed this evening. Here is how it went down...uh, did I really just write that? Cheers to Cupid and the lovers out there alike!
