VALENTINE'S DAY MENU

Zorra of the very interesting "Kochtopf" has asked me to participate to her Valentine Cooking Round-up. As I'm always looking for a new challenge, I immediately started thinking about this event and how I could give a nice cosy touch to this special evening...

"What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lie."- Ralph Waldo Emerson -

Since, you'd probably not want to spend hours in your kitchen in order to prepare that Valentine's Day meal, those recipes are exactly what you need!

So, here's my idea of a Valentine's Day with a full menu (apetizer, main course and dessert) to help you make your choices. It's an all Italian culinary feast which I hope you'll enjoy wether you are alone or with your loved one!

*****
APERITIVO (APPETIZERS)
Mozarella Cake With Herbs
Olives
Marinated Sun-Dried Tomatoes Antipasta

*****
SECONDO (MAIN COURSE)
Blueberry Pork Chops
Hot Italian-Style Tagliatelle

*****
DOLCI (DESSERT)
Sienese Panforte
Limoncello Or Vanilla Ice Cream
