I loved your “Valentines Day Fail” stories – good giggle! Thanks for the entries and remember, U Cook takes the stress out of this Valentines Day – or any romantic occasion for that matter 🙂
Congrats Nicole Pretorius! Enjoy your Valentines Day U Cook Box – happy cooking and Happy Valentines Day! xx
I remember the first Valentines Day dinner my husband and I went on. The complimentary bubbly (with plastic tasting cherry) was awful, he stood on a sharp piece of metal in the door way causing a blood filled shoe and the weather was miserable- our choice of destination is what you’d call an epic fail!
So, if eating in is more your thing – U Cook are giving away a tasty Valentines Day Box for you to enjoy either cooking together or to surprise your loved one.
There are two boxes to choose from:
One vegetarian; which includes a starter of tomato, red pepper & camembert bruschetta, followed by a main of Fig, Almond and Goat’s cheese salad, rounded out with a marbled raspberry cheesecake. (R545)
The non-vegetarian box boasts the same starter and desserts as the vegetarian box, but with the main course being a fragrant sundried tomato and artichoke stuffed chicken with herbed potatoes. (R595)
Both baskets also include chocolate and a bottle of wine (red or white).
TO WIN:
Tell me your most epic Valentines Day Fail to stand the chance of correcting it this Valentines Day with a delicious U Cook Box.

Towards the end of last year I got to try out a couple of recipes from http://www.ucook.co.za and it was such fun. U COOK is an on line platform whereby you choose your meal, they deliver the ingredients with a recipe and you cook it!
Fresh, vibrant and beautifully packaged, my ingredients.
The recipes were really thorough and I loved that I even learned a cooking tip or two. Below, one of my favourite kitchen gadgets. The Joseph Joseph Herb Chopper from Yuppie Chef.
While I should probably not enter Master Chef (Aah, plating!!), I had great fun, the food was my kind of food (healthy & Fresh) and really tasty. For more visit http://www.ucook.co.za.
