Love and food are as intertwined as the rose vine that grew up the side of Juliette\u2019s balcony and sharing a meal, particularly a sweet treat, to celebrate love is a pastime that dates back through the ages.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the award-winning TV chef, cookbook author and dessert diva Grace Stevens, cooking is more than an activity, it is as an expression of love.<\/p>\n

Here are Grace\u2019s top takes on how to express your love through food this Valentine\u2019s day. These recipes are great to make ahead of time and to share with sweethearts of all ages.<\/p>\n

Heart-Shaped Macaroons:<\/span>
\n\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Grace, the sweetest spot in cooking is when you can use the skills you have learnt to spoil someone you love and see a smile sprawl across their face when they realise you created something special just for them. These heart-shaped Macaroons, although not the easiest to make, are the perfect gift for your darling. To get the inside scoop on making the perfect Macaroon or many other sweet delights, join Grace online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Madeleine\u2019s:<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Few nations can claim to do romance quite like the French, and Grace\u2019s Madeleines are the perfect vintage dessert to add a touch of French flair to your Valentine\u2019s day. And if you are like Grace and have a tradition of hiding a small treat in your children\u2019s lunch box on Valentines, they make the perfect stowaway.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Botanical Cocktail:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If, like Grace, you love soaking up the long summer days but prefer the cooler embrace of the evening for your picnic, this is the perfect cocktail for you. Using the floral and herbed notes from the garden gives the perfect balance between sweet and strong \u2013 not to mention it is far more refreshing on a sweltering summers eve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crustless mini quiches<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While Grace understands as the mother of four, that many of us long for the opportunity to go out with our sweetheart to enjoy a fancy restaurant this Valentine\u2019s day, the reality is that many of us will not be able to leave our children. Picnics are a fabulous way to entertain the whole family and with these crustless mini quiches, you won\u2019t even have to worry about picking up the crumbs.<\/p>\n

Most of us have at least one memory of sharing a meal, be it a nervous first date or a 20th wedding anniversary and are familiar with the wonderful warmth that envelopes us as we share and laugh over food. So, let\u2019s make this Valentine\u2019s Day a celebration of sharing food that brings us closer with its magical ability to make our love not only visible, but deliciously edible.<\/p>\n
