Valentine's Day desserts

Planning a squishy, romantic, candle-lit dinner for two? Finish off your Valentine's Day meal right, with a sweet dessert for your sweetheart. We have recipes with all the ingredients that sing with love, like strawberries, raspberries, passionfruit and figs; and of course, lots of things with chocolate. Curtis Stone shows off his dark chocolate and strawberry tart, while Stephanie Alexander has whipped up a recipe for honey wafers with raspberry and rose-geranium sorbet. And don't miss the mascarpone mousse by Melbourne's Osteria Ilaria.

Persian love cakes never fail if you're looking to declare your undying love, in baked form. We have not one, but two love cake recipes (and one is by Lankan Filling Station's O Tama Carey).
