VALENTINE'S DAY BOX - VEGETARIAN

Serves 2, Valentine's Day Dinner,

Valentine's Day falls on a Monday this year, so what better excuse to celebrate Meatless Monday with the one you love. This gourmet, vegetarian four-course meal starts out with a Roasted Beet Salad with Crispy Baked Goat Cheese, followed by a smooth and creamy Potato Leek Bisque. For the main course, our Pasta ai Funghi pairs savory mixed mushrooms with artisan campanelle pasta, lovingly bound with a rich herb-flecked sauce. Make sure you save some room for one of our favorite desserts, molten chocolate lava cakes drizzled with a simple raspberry coulis and topped with sweetened whipped cream.

The meal will take about 1 1/2 hours total.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE KIT
Serves 2, 

Take a trip back to the 90s with everyone’s favorite interactive dessert! Popularized by star chef Jean-George Vongerichten and found on high-end restaurant menus throughout the land, this decadent dessert - a thin shell of chocolate cake encasing an oozing, warm, and rich dark chocolate center - is deceptively easy to make, relying on just a simple batter and a brief stint in a hot oven, and they can be prepared for baking far in advance. We serve ours drizzled with a simple raspberry coulis and topped with sweetened whipped cream, and include 2 4oz mason jars for baking.
