Valentine's Day : Introduction

Here you'll find all the recipe ideas you need to make a lasting impression for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner.

History of Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is celebrated every year on February 14. This date has become a symbol of love and affection between couples around the world. It is said to originate from Saint Valentine, a Roman priest from the 3rd century.

He secretly married young couples despite Emperor Claudius II’s ban on soldiers marrying. Condemned to death, Valentine died on February 14, and the Romans began to associate this day with love.

What are the traditions for Valentine’s Day?

Over time, the holiday has grown in popularity. In Europe and America, people exchange cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts to show their affection.

Some older traditions linked February 14 to the arrival of spring and the choice of a partner. Today, everyone celebrates love in their own way, whether with a romantic dinner, a tender message, or a symbolic gesture.
