"Jack and I gave up going to restaurants on Valentine's Day years ago. We realized that it was way more romantic-and more fun-to spend time in the kitchen together than it was to eat at a crowded restaurant that we chose weeks or months in advance (because that's how far ahead you have to plan in order to get a reservation). I've rounded up some of our go-to date night dinner recipes below. They include classic Italian pastas, comforting risottos, soups, and more."
