Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and this year it’s all about cozying up with an extra-special dinner at home, whether it’s with your spouse, significant other, best friend, or just yourself. Cooking a romantic dinner doesn’t have to be an all day affair. We like to keep it simple and uncomplicated, but opt for something that feels a little more indulgent and luxurious than usual.

Here are 30 romantic dinner ideas to inspire your Valentine’s Day menu.
