Date nights out at your favourite steakhouse or dimsum restaurant, for the most part, sounds really easy and convenient, but you can’t deny that snug, cosy and romantic nights in at home are ideal sometimes too. So, what’s stopping you? Is it because you can’t decide what to prepare? Don’t have the time? Perhaps you don’t quite know how to cook and are avoiding the discomfort of having to painfully watch your partner pretend to love each and every bite of your cooking?

If your answer to any of the previous questions was yes, after today, those will no longer be valid excuses. With what we’re about to share with you, you don’t need to be a MasterChef with several hours up your sleeve to be able to prepare a super scrumptious meal that you and your partner can enjoy in the comfort of your own home. We’ve also got a solution to get you out of the indecisiveness trap of not being able to choose what to cook (hint, hint, it’s a new app!). Good news though, because not only will you be able to save money cooking something healthy and delicious for you and your other half, but with these easy and mouth-watering recipes, we can also guarantee that your partner will be totally impressed by your outstanding cooking skills, too!
