Rekindle the romance at home with a weekly date night, one on one, over an absolutely delicious meal for two.
Sweethearts, spouses, and parents Ashley and Gabe Rodriguez found themselves deep into marriage and child-rearing when they realized they were missing the connection of their early relationship, and needed to prioritize each other. They instituted a weekly date night at home to saut?, roast, mix, dice, and spend time reconnecting over delicious meals like:
- Crostini with Ricotta, Prosciutto, and Peas
- Tomato and Fennel Gazpacho with Dungeness Crab
- Fennel-Crusted Lamb Chops
- Dulce de Leche and Nectarine Creamsicles
Simply carving out time to talk, cook, and eat together can be the relationship-booster you need to keep the spark alive. Just don't forget the cocktail (try a Rhubarb Sour or a Grapefruit 75). Make date night an integral part of your week and woo your partner all over again with food, drink, and sparkling conversation.

Date Night Inis a must-have cookbook for any couple who wants to spice things up with special seasonal meals at home around a table for two.
