Date Night Pointers from Chef Rocco DiSpirito
Posted by Cate O’Malley on Paper Palate
Even though Valentine’s Day is now just a memory, you don’t need a Hallmark holiday to get romantic with your loved one. And lest you be lost when it comes to food and wooing your significant other, fear not. Celebrity Chef Rocco DiSpirito, in a recent issue of OK! magazine of all places, is offering up his Date Night Tips:
Get Spirited
A nice bottle of wine truly complements any meal, and it doesn’t have to break your budget. “All you have to spend is about $20,” says Rocco. “Stock up on a pinot noir or a pinot grigio.”
Don’t Worry About the Slip-Ups
Things can go awry in the kitchen, but don’t let that ruin the evening. “You can overcome any mistakes with a great attitude,” says Rocco. But make sure you have a backup plan: “Have a restaurant you love on call,” he adds, “just in case.”
