Now that the Superbowl is over, it's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. I've compiled a menu of my favorite romantic recipes, including a roasted artichoke appetizer and an elegant champagne dessert.

 
In the Spotlight
Valentine's Day Menu
The appetizer in this menu allows you to get your hands on a shared baked artichoke with a spicy dip, or, you'll sit close together and lean over a steaming mushroom fondue. For the main course, risotto is simmered in white wine, and to top it all off, champagne turns into a sweet dessert in this sorbet recipe. Cook it with love, and enjoy your meal together.

Fruity Spring Rolls
Fruit-filled spring rolls with a simple yogurt-based sauce are a light, and colorful dish, perfect to accompany a home-cooked romantic meal. Feel free to use any kind of fruit you have on hand, but keep in mind that softer fruits like melon and berries will fare better in this recipe than harder fruits like apples and pears.

 
Vegan Rasperry Mocha Chocolate Cake
This is a sinfully indulgent recipe. Chocolate cake with just a hint of raspberry and coffee flavor makes an impressive dessert. You won't be able to tell that this moist and delicious recipe is egg-free, dairy-free and vegan.

Top Picks - This week's most popular recipes  from your Vegetarian Guide
If you haven't been checking out the recipes and resources available at the About.com Guide to Vegetarian Cooking, here's what you've been missing:

1) 30 Second Vegan Chili "Cheese" Dip
Okay, so this is hardly a recipe, but this comination is just so yummy I have to share it with you. I call it "30 second" not because that's how long it takes to make, but because that's how long it will last - it's that good! Tofutti brand cream cheese is a vegan cream cheese substitute that is fairly easy to find in most health foods stores and well stocked grocers.

2) Thai Style Spring Rolls
Spring rolls are a quick, no cook meal and are surprisingly easy to make. Be sure to make a dipping sauce to serve along with your spring rolls!

3) Chinese Hoisin Stir-Fry
Chinese style stir-fry, made with a hoisin-based sauce is a quick and simple stir-fry with a distinct Asian flavor. Though the recipe calls for seitan, you could substitute tofu with good results and vary the vegetables used as well. This stir-fry has plenty of sauce, so serve over rice or noodles.
