If you’re looking for a way to celebrate the holiday of love this year, you may want to let go of the idea of “perfection.” At least, that’s what Town Crier columnist Christine Moore suggests in the Food & Wine section’s February cover story. A simple roasted chicken, salad and wine pairing can be the perfect representation of a relationship that is balanced, mutually supportive and fulfilling.
We also have gathered a collection of Valentine’s Day recipes, gift ideas and ruminations on love from Moore and past Town Crier writers dating back to 1997. From heart-shaped whoopie pies and breakfast-in-bed recipes to advice on how to keep your relationship vibrant post-holiday, find it all in this collection.
