- Picture this: You're both together in the kitchen, sizzling up some traditional Russian recipes. Laughters, shared stories, and delicious smells fill the air, as you both navigate through the recipe book, chopping, stirring, and tasting. Once dinner is prepared, you set the table, light some candles, and enjoy a beautiful meal you created together.
- With your favourite drinks in hand, you retire to the living room, where a warm and cosy setting awaits. You curl up together on the couch with a blanket, hit play on an intriguing Russian movie and delve into a cinematic adventure. As end credits roll, you realise how comfortable and perfect it has been sharing these moments together.
- As the night draws to an end, you might decide to dance slowly to some soft background music, taking in the warmth of each other, the ambiance filled with love and joy. Great food, a good movie, shared laughter and warmth - sometimes, love truly is in the simplest things.
Preparation steps:
- Firstly, select a couple of Russian recipes that you would like to try out. Some options can be borscht, pelmeni, or beef stroganoff for the main course and medovik or pirozhki for dessert. To accompany the meal, you can try making kompot, a traditional Russian drink.
- For the movie, make sure you have a good streaming service or DVD options since your partner enjoys watching something new. If you want to stick to the theme, you could opt for Russian cinema. Some recommendations could be 'Leviathan', 'Burnt by the Sun' or 'Stalker'.
- Set the ambiance right. This can be done with candles, a cosy blanket for two and perhaps some smooth background music for when you finish up your movie and wish to linger in each other's presence. Remember, the key to this date is the warm, intimate atmosphere you create with each other.
