EBRUARY is the month of love, so the story goes. For us, there’s no better way to show love than through food, so this month’s recipes are all made to share with those most special. Food expert Anne Shooter’s pink-hued dishes tick all the boxes for a romantic meal, pp. 36-43, while Noma recipe developer Nadine Levy Redzepi puts family first with her cosy dishes designed for meals at home, pp.24-31. For those looking to impress with their cooking skills, take our Valentine’s Night In shopping list as your guide and whip up a dinner to win their heart, p.23. Worried you might need a hand with your kitchen ambitions? Never fear, we’ve pulled together a range of romancecentred classes to help crack any tricky skills for a flawless feast, p.59. If the first date is long behind you and you’re ready to seal the deal, check out our top city wedding venues, favourite cake designers, and sweetest favour makers to help you on your way for the wedding of your dreams, pp.45-47. Meanwhile, if the approach of spring has you longing for escape, BBC favourite Rick Stein takes us to warmer climes with his Mexican feast recipes, pp.14-21, while The Permit Room’s classic cocktails with a Bombay twist will spice up any dinner party. For something
extra special, why not whisk away the apple of your eye for a romantic retreat? With our round up of Scotland’s top country house hotels, planning a trip couldn’t be easier, pp.33-35. Or, for a night out closer to home, we’re exploring the heart of the capital with a little help from the Edinburgh Trams, p.51, plus, reviewing new additions to the restaurant scene on p. 56-57. We all know the best way to the heart is through the stomach, so this month, feast with love. Sue Hitchen, Editor CONTRIBUTORS
