We’ve (I’ve) had a bit of a nightmare with restaurants for valentines and have now opted to have a nice home cooked meal and a bottle of wine. Please help choose me a dinner.

Ideally hearty sort of french cuisine, semi idiot proof. Three courses and pairs with a red.

Edit: Can I just say a huge thank you. Its really helped me with tomorrows recipe. I’m going for pan fried scallops to start,roast duck in a red wine sauce , glazed carrots and roasted potatoes, followed by raspberry sorbet and wafers. Also, each week I try a new recipe (when I can) I have added about 10 new recipes to my list. Thank you so much!
