Anna Williamson’s top tips for showing love through food are all about thoughtful gestures that make your loved one feel special, including...
'Bring them a cuppa and their favourite biccy in bed first thing... It's all about setting yourself up for the day ahead, and the more you flick your mindset into a positive space, the better. This seemingly small act can make the biggest difference to setting your other half up for a great day'.
'Make them a nostalgic meal - from your first date or their childhood perhaps? My husband will occasionally make me an Italian dish that we had when we first started dating. It immediately takes us back to those exciting early days, and it's a very subtle and yet poignant opportunity to reconnect over some delicious comfort food'.
'Have dinner ready after a long day at work without being asked. Doing something without even asking can be a huge affirmation of love for, and from, your partner. Trust me, if my husband has made me dinner without asking when I get home from a long day filming, I'll be very happy!'.
'Buying them a treat (like a doughnut/cookie) just because. It's not about big gestures all the time, but just letting your partner know that you were thinking of them during your day. If we have perhaps had an argument, one of my ways to apologise is to bring home a little treat that I know my husband will like'.
'Creating a cooking-at-home date night together. I like to turn something which can be every day and mundane into a little bit more of a date night event at home. Crack open a bottle of wine, get some music on, and enjoy a really good chat. You can catch up about your week over making a delicious meal from scratch together!'.
'Graciously letting them eat the last chocolate in the pack - it's surely the biggest test for any relationship! My husband does not like to share food at the best of times, so I know that if he allows me the last square of chocolate, I am truly in the good books'.
