Vegan Valentine’s Day Menu | Good Food

Sharing starters are perfect for Valentine’s Day. You can blitz together this super-silky hummus the night before, so all you’ve got to do is fry the whole chickpeas with spices until crispy and scatter on top along with pomegranate seeds. Serve with toasted pitta and crunchy crudités.

For a refreshing and flavourful no-cook option, start your romantic dinner with our mango salad with avocado and black beans. See all our vegan side dishes for more easy inspiration.

Main course: pasta all norma

Nothing says romance like Italian food, and this is up there with the best. This easy version of alla norma uses roasted instead of fried aubergine, which is tossed with spaghetti and a rich tomato and basil sauce – just swap the parmesan for a vegan alternative or leave it out. For another luxury pasta option, try our linguine with avocado, tomato & lime. We’ve got lots more vegan pasta recipes where these two came from.

Or, try our roasted cauliflower steaks topped with an olive and caper salsa for another flavour-packed option.

Dessert: vegan chocolate tart

Chocolate tart with slice taken out, served with raspberries on the side

All you need is love… and a slice of this indulgent chocolate tart. It has a crunchy digestive biscuit base and rich, creamy filling made with coconut milk. Serve with raspberries or strawberries. If you can’t get enough chocolate, impress your loved one with a batch of our vegan cherry & almond brownies.

Or for a more citrussy dessert, try our creamy vegan lemon cheesecake. Browse all our vegan dessert recipes – there’s something for everyone.

To drink: Passion fruit mule

Two glasses of passionfruit mule cocktails with lime wedges inside

For a tipple worthy of Valentine’s Day, make a mule with a tropical twist by adding passion fruit to the classic vodka and ginger beer mixture. Try our cosmonaut cocktail, inspired by the classic cosmopolitan, to get the pulse racing with its bright red colour.

We have lots more cocktail recipes for you to sip on.

For an edible gift: vegan truffles

For a final romantic touch, score serious brownie points with a tray of homemade vegan truffles. They’re easy to make – just pour a warm oat milk, sugar and vanilla mixture over dairy-free dark chocolate, cover and chill, then roll into balls and coat in cocoa powder.

If your special someone has less of a sweet tooth – and likes a chilli kick – try our scotch bonnet & mango hot sauce to get them hot under the collar.
