What to do for Valentine’s Day

Whether you’re keeping things low-key or going all out, Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be complicated to feel special. From cooking up a favourite recipe and hosting a Galentine’s get-together, to picking up our Valentine’s Dine In (available in store 11–14 February) or getting creative with a spot of baking, there are plenty of easy ways to celebrate, always made with love, for the one you love… only at M&S Food.

Cooking at home is the easiest way to impress — and maybe steal a few hearts. Pick a recipe you’ll love (and they definitely will too) and let the ingredients do all the hard work.

• Fillet steak with smashed potatoes: Succulent fillet steak, perfectly seasoned and cooked just how you like it, served with golden, crispy-edged smashed potatoes, garlicky butter and tender green Tenderstem broccoli. It’s a classic for a reason – effortless, indulgent and always impressive.

• Truffle parmesan sausage and squash conchiglioni: Rich, comforting, and full of flavour, this dish brings together golden Collection Truffle and Parmesan Sausages with a silky squash and sage sauce that hugs every shell of Italian conchiglioni. Cosy, restaurant-worthy, and made to share with someone special.

You can't go wrong with a little bubbly. Opt for our Champagne Delacourt Brut – elegant and effervescent, with creamy bubbles and rich notes of brioche, vanilla, and a touch of tangy peach. Feeling fruity? Try our Champagne Delacourt Rosé, with a gorgeous pink hue and lively sparkle, bursting with raspberry, strawberry, and cherry flavours.

If you're going alcohol-free, our Fizzero Rosé delivers all the sparkle with 0% alcohol, combining crisp apple and pear notes with a hint of green tea for depth. Or enjoy the light, fragrant refreshment of our Sparkling Elderflower Pressé.

Try our trio of vibrant pink cocktails –perfect for a romantic night in or a fun Galentine’s soirée. Think a zesty grapefruit gin spritz, a fruity mojito, and a silky-smooth French martini.

If sweet and sour is more your style, our cherry tequila sour recipe is a must-try, blending juicy cherries with the sharp bite of tequila.

Or turn up the heat with a spicy paloma, featuring a kick of chilli and a coconut-and-lime rim that’s as bold as it is delicious.
