Keith Goddard’s Valentine’s Day Menu
The ultimate menu packed with delicious aphrodisiac inspired courses to help inspired the mood on the night ingredients that are sure to inspire love on the night:
The oldest and most famed things to be served on Valentines Day. Head to the best fish mongers near you.
- Dozen Oysters get them to open them at the fishmongers and then simply top with a dash of tobacco, splash of Worchester sauce, chunk of green tomato jelly and garnish with celery leaves. Serve with a splash of vodka if desired
Roast Veal with Roasted Seasonal Vegetables
The easiest but most delicious course yet – definitely one to impress
- Place a joint of veal in the oven – follow the instructions given as cooking time will depend on weight. Leave at least 1.5 hours for this though so do it as soon as you get in. Chop an assortment of vegetables and pop into a roasting tin about 40 minutes before the beef is ready. And serve
Chocolate mousse
Serve with a glass of Amaretto liquor and devour – with crushed amaretto biscuits
- Beat a large tub of double cream, in a separate bowl whisk egg white with caster sugar. Lightly melt 100 grams of chocolate and mix all the above. Serve in cocktail glasses
To really enjoy dinner don’t forget to lay the table, light the candles, have champagne on ice and some classical music.
