Roast Spatchcock Chicken with Grapes
This chicken is a simple but luxurious dinner that takes about 15 minutes active time to prepare, followed by 40 to 45 minutes in the oven. The grapes roast into sweet, jammy goodness alongside the potatoes.
Teriyaki Salmon
Teriyaki salmon is simple, quick and delicious. The sauce can be made in advance or right before cooking the fish. This fish is made start to finish in under 30 minutes.
French Onion Soup
There is something romantic about classic French onion soup. The onion broth can be made ahead of time, heated, garnished with a gruyere-topped piece of toast and run under the broiler for a cheesey, melty bowl of goodness.
Cioppino
Cioppino, or fisherman's stew, is a great dish for entertaining 2 or 12 and surprisingly simple to make. Make the broth ahead of time and freeze until needed. When you are ready to serve defrost the broth, heat it up and add your choice of seafood.
Mario Batali's Strawberry, Balsamic Vinegar and Cracked Pepper Panna Cotta
The strawberry Panna Cotta sounds amazing. My wife loves strawberries, and this would be the perfect dish. I really like how it sounds so creamy and rich. I bet this would be a perfect end to a date at home. I will have to give this a try.
