"This is Starter Kit, a series where our editors share the food, drink, and kitchen essentials they recommend when you're setting up from scratch. Here, Erin Bunch asks three chic chefs and professional party-throwers for the handful of items that can make your dining room (or kitchen nook) feel like a swanky, sexy bistro-no reservation needed. Dinner out for two, somewhere a little fancy with cloth napkins and candlelight, is the classic choice for a romantic occasion."
"You don't have to be an accomplished chef or professional hostess to pull off a special night at home, either. Sure, good food matters, but when you want to get romantic, the most important ingredient is intention. Promise you this: Even if you share a home with your amore and the dining table is used for looking at the bills, eating delivery pizza,"
Intentionality matters more than culinary skill when creating a romantic night at home. A compact starter kit elevates the evening: cloth napkins, grown-up glasses, candles, fresh flowers, choice luxury ingredients, something sweet, and a thoughtful beverage selection. High-quality, simple table items and restrained decor create a swanky, intimate atmosphere without feeling forced. Even a multipurpose dining table can be transformed into a seductive setting with intention and a handful of well-chosen pieces. The overall aim is to make a home dinner feel effortless, seductive, and distinctly special.
