Valentine’s Day: 6 gift proposals to surprise that special person

At the gates of the day of Valentine’s Day, we share some ideas to surprise (or conquer) that person who keeps you up at night. A sweet gift never goes out of style. To spend a special moment, the option is a romantic dinner or toasting by candlelight at home.

BTH HOTEL NOMAD

Chef Hugo de Armero has created a special three-course dinner, which you can enjoy with live music in a romantic atmosphere. In appetizers you can choose between tiradito chalaco (the fish slices are bathed in a yellow chili tiger’s milk, choclito with anise, bramble a la chalaca and sweet potato strings) and carpaccio Nomad (slices of loin in sachainchi dressing, mayonnaise pachamanqueara, smoked cheese, fresh aguaymanto and chips). As dishes, you will have Lomo Stronogoff (loin, in mushroom sauce and accompanied by risotto with blue cheese) or Roman Chicken (chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto and pesto, garnished with puree and vegetables). To finish, the dessert (to share) is a Cusco chocolate mousse filled with moist sponge cake with coffee liqueur, hazelnut cream, crystal orange peel and red fruit sorbet. The evening includes 2 glasses of sparkling wine.

VICENTE’S CAFE

“Although not all people are fans of sweets, a little chocolate always helps you feel happy. And giving it as a gift, on a date like Valentine’s Day, is an excellent option because not only are there chocolates but there is a whole variety to choose from and for every palate,” says Marielena Cárrdenas, founder of this cafeteria.

Having her own establishment – which coincided with the arrival of her youngest son – was her dream since she began studying pastry making. Now she has this cozy space in which she intends to pamper visitors. For the day of love and friendship, the cafeteria offers two gift options. The first includes: a cake (10 cm.), jar of mini alfajores, 3 decorated cookies, a Malbec Intipalka, a bouquet of roses and a little surprise (Price: S/.100). The second is composed of: a cake (10 cm.) and 2 decorated cupcakes (Price: S/.70).

PANUTS

Why not celebrate Valentine’s Day with a toast? Cava Sutra, from the Spanish winery Arráez, sounds like a good option since the bottle pays tribute to the “Kama Sutra”, a book dedicated to love and desire. With fine bubbles and foamy cream.; On the nose, white fruits balanced with citrus notes are felt; and in the mouth it is velvety. The store offers a promotion that includes two bottles and two glasses (price: S/.139).

QUNCHA MISKY

For Fernanda Huarcaya, the mission of this sweet venture is “to make known that vegan desserts can be very varied and delicious.” For Valentine’s Day, offer a lunch box cake: it is a decorated cake in which you can choose the flavor of the cake (red velvet or chocolate) and the filling (strawberry compote, fudge or buttercream). Makes 2 to 3 servings. You dare?

Price: S/. 35.
