Culinary movie night
This date idea not only involves spending quality movie time together but also involves tasty food. Enjoy a cozy movie night, but with a culinary twist. Cook your favorite Russian dishes together and settle in front of a classic Russian film or a movie of choice.
- Imagine this: The evening starts with shopping for ingredients at a local farmer's market. Then, you'll enter the kitchen together, sharing laughter and stories while you prepare your favorite homecooked Russian dishes. The wonderful aroma of cooked food fills the air, adding another layer of intimacy to your evening.
- After the meal is prepared, you move to the living room. A classic Russian film or a movie of your choice plays on the screen, and you cuddle up on the couch enjoying your delicious meal. Being able to laugh, talk or just enjoy each other's company with no interruption makes the evening special.
- The end of the movie can be the start of deep, meaningful conversations about life, love, and everything in between. A romantic, unique night filled with emotions, favourite films, and delectable food.
Preparation steps:
- Research some classic Russian dishes that both of you can prepare. If one or both of you aren't adept at cooking, easier recipes like blini or pelmeni could be a good start. But if you're more experienced, then there's nothing stopping you from trying to make Beef Stroganoff.
- Prepare a list of movies you both would enjoy. You can choose classic Russian films, or mix it up with some Hollywood blockbusters. The important thing is that you both will enjoy it.
- Make your home cozy. Clean up your place, set a comfortable milieu, and prepare everything for a projection – good speakers or headphones, a projector or a big screen TV, and a comfy couch or pillows.
Some tips:
- Choose a movie and a dish that you both love. This would make the experience even more enjoyable. Also, it would be nice to take turns selecting the film for subsequent date nights.
- Make sure to clean up after cooking. This avoids distractions when you are ready to settle down to watch the movie.
- Remember to keep a soft blanket nearby. It gets more comfortable with soft pillows and a cozy blanket when you are watching a movie. So, transform your living room into a cozy space with some soft pillows and a warm blanket.
