What to CookValentine's Day
10 Ways to Treat Yourself to Dinner for One
Single? Then prepare to be wooed -- by yourself. Valentine's Day is all about love, and it's time to show yourself some (without apology, embarrassment, or explanation).
There are a million ways to treat yourself: spa appointments and flowers, Netflix marathons and popcorn, loud music and solo dance parties, color coding closets and reorganizing flatware. But at Food52, we indulge by cooking -- for our family, for our friends, and for ourselves. So take out your prettiest dishes; dim the lights and strike a match; put on a little mood music. Go ahead, impress yourself. Then cook exactly what you feel like cooking. As RuPaul would say, "if you can't love yourself -- how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

Great post! I'm always on the lookout for solo recipes. I think it's really hard to find the energy to cook when you're by yourself. I've started a blog on the subject to try and regroup recipes etc. at www.singlyscrumptious.com I might showcase some of your recipes ;)

This gallery looks amazing- I am not single but my Valentine's about 10,000 miles away so some consolation food is needed. Only note: that carbonara plate...is that the tasting for the cook or the actual portion? looks like the former to me ;)
