These red velvet and white chocolate chip cookies are a sweet love themed treat to share on Valentine's Day. Simply add food colouring to your preferred cookie recipe to create this look. You can swap the white chocolate buttons for any other of your favourite chocolate chips, raisins or fruit to create the cookie of your choice. 

 

 

There are many complex recipes which you can make to impress your loved one. However, if you are not a fantastic chef, then there are still many options which you can use to express your love. In fact, if you aren't a culinary expert but still make the effort to try, don't worry as it's the thought that counts! A simple egg and toast with a heart shape cut out of the centre is a sure fire way of letting that significant person know you care.

 

 

Here at Vanilla In Allseasons we can take the pressures of cooking of your hands. If there is a special question which you are asked this Valentine's Day then do not hesitate to contact us, and we can create the perfect meal for your Wedding!

 
Bon appetit!

What better excuse to rustle up a fantastic curry as a midweek speciality? Or treat yourself on the weekend and invite your friends and family over?

Curries are fantastic meals to create as they are so diverse. The vastness of curries allows for creativity when making your chosen dish. Remember that there are many areas of the world which produce varied tasting classic curries. Will you stick with the popular options of a tikka masala? Or play it safe with a creamy korma? Why not up the ante with some Jamaican spice and make it hot with a curried goat dish? Or pay homage to South East Asia and whip up a tasty Thai green curry?
