Anyone can make a reservation for Valentine's Day. But why not create your own romantic ambiance at home with a bottle or two of bubbly, and make one of these beautiful meals together?

1. Yes, you can have eggs for dinner, especially when salmon and asparagus are key ingredients in this frittata. This one's also great for those short on time.
2. Chicken kulambu is chock full of Indian spices, and is best served over warm rice.
3. The sauce for this easy Valentine's Day pasta can be made ahead. Toss it with fresh-cooked pasta when you are ready to serve.
4. A creole dish of sorts, this garlic butter and shrimp recipe uses a healthier quinoa as opposed to rice.
5. Do not let the looks of this roast beef with chimichurri intimidate you. Just roast this beautiful cut of meat in the oven.
6. A braised beef stew with roasted vegetables is perfect cooked with an earthy Brunello di Montalcino.
7. Catering to special diets? Try this vegan spinach and wild mushroom lasagna with a basil almond cream.
8. Chipotle, ancho and guajillo chiles makes for memorable adobo pork chops.
9. Sticking with spices, chicken enchiladas with three peppers and a homemade enchilada sauce can warm any heart on Valentine's Day.
10. This holiday would not be complete without sweets. In keeping with the spirit of wine, this white chocolate mousse uses a sweet Riesling as one of the key ingredients.

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at Lot18.
