The old saying is that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but cooking a sensual dinner for 2 on Valentine's Day is sure to melt any heart.

Step 1: Choose food for the menu
Set your menu for dinner. Traditional romantic fare includes rack of lamb for 2, filet mignon, and lobster. You can also cook your lover's favorites for dinner.

Tip
It's tempting to serve rich food, but try to choose a menu that won't leave either of you feeling unpleasantly full or sluggish. Stay away from recipes that call for lots of butter, cheese, cream, or other rich ingredients.

Step 2: Prep food ahead of time
Prepare as much of the dinner as you can the day before so that you only have to cook for a half hour at most on Valentine's Day.

Tip
Invite your lover into the kitchen and cook together while drinking champagne.

Step 3: Set the mood
Turn down the lights, and turn on romantic music. Decorate the table with candles and flowers to set the mood.

Tip
Cuddle up on the couch with a romantic film and enjoy a dinner and a movie for Valentine's Day.

Step 4: Start the meal
Start the meal by serving an appetizer like a soup, salad, shrimp, or mussels. Follow this with your main course.

Step 5: Serve wine and the meal
Serve the main course with a bottle of wine. Search online for a wine that complements the meal.

Step 6: End with dessert
Conclude the meal with a light, simple dessert. After a romantic meal, who knows what will happen next?
