Sixty dishes for a dinner for two: twelve starters, from shrimp bruschetta, salmon tartare and carpaccio to scallops in butter and baked brie; nine salads and soups, among them pear and blue cheese salad, warm goat cheese salad and pumpkin soup with shrimp; twenty-five mains, from mushroom risotto and salmon pasta to beef medallions in red wine, duck breast with orange, pepper steak and mussels in white wine; ten desserts, including chocolate mousse, crème brûlée, crumble and brownie with ice cream; a Valentine's breakfast and three drinks.
Every dish has a price per serving from average supermarket prices, so a dinner for two is costed before shopping. Below are six ready dinners with a total and cooking time; an evening where one oven and one person do everything fits in an hour and a half or two.
Every recipe has a servings counter: set two and the grams recalculate. Servings here are restaurant-sized, one course of four: a starter is 300–450 kcal, a main 450–700, a dessert 400–450; four courses come to about 1700 kcal per person, which is a dinner, not a week.
The order of the evening: dessert in the morning or afternoon (mousse, crème brûlée and panna cotta set for hours), starter and salad half an hour before dinner, the main last, since it needs 20–30 minutes of attention. Take meat and fish out of the fridge 20 minutes before frying, and heat the pan hotter than feels right.

Six such dinners are laid out above with the price per person.
Tomato bruschetta, mushroom risotto, berry crumble with ice cream and a non-alcoholic berry mojito: the budget menu above. The pricey items in this collection are always scallops, tenderloin, duck and salmon; cheese, mushrooms, rice and frozen berries give the same evening for a third of the price.
Salmon tartare, carpaccio, pear salad, garlic butter shrimp with rice, salmon pasta in cream, pan scallops, chocolate strawberries, chocolate mousse. The no-oven menu above is made of them.
Heart pancakes with strawberries and yogurt, a heart omelette with salmon and cream cheese, hot chocolate with whipped cream. The pancakes are baked in a metal heart mould or cut out after frying; all of it takes 25 minutes.
Desserts: mousse, crème brûlée, panna cotta, tiramisu and trifle only get better after a night in the fridge. The salad dressing, the sauce for the medallions and the caramelised onions can be made in the afternoon too. Fry fish, scallops and steak only right before serving: ten minutes later they are different food.
