Going out on Valentine’s Day is not for everyone. It requires booking a table weeks, if not months in advance; a fairly sizable budget — at least those hoping to impress a date; and the negotiating of countless other loved-up diners, all of whom will be bustling at the bar ordering prosecco before taking up too much room on the Tube.
Rest assured, there’s another option: the meal kit to prepare and enjoy at home. These require a degree of planning, plus just enough cooking to show effort, but they are fun, straightforward and allow for staying comfortable indoors. February weather can be a drudge.
