Cuisine: Valentines Day
Rise to the occasion with homemade chocolate Soufflé
As Valentine's Day draws near, the romantically inclined among you are officially in full-on scheming mode.
You could partake in a heavy, pricey, pre fixed meal with one hundred other canoodling strangers at the city's "most romantic" restaurant - or you could go the trés romantique route and woo your beloved the homemade way.
For dessert, might we propose a soufflé?
Jacques Capsouto, owner of soufflé-centric French bistro Capsouto Frères, is here to deflate the myth of soufflés as kitchen catastrophe. All that's required is a little heart, a soupçon of practice time, a foolproof recipe and someone to share it all with.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
This luxurious looking dessert is so simple to make! The two key things to ensure you do are:1) Grease and dust the mould so they slip out easily when you turn them out onto a plate; and 2) don't overfill the mould! You don't need to use expensive chocolate for this. And though I made these in dariole moulds, you can make these in ramekins or even a muffin tin.
