Valentine’s Day often comes with a side dish of culinary pressure. But when chefs cook for the people they love, the approach is far more personal (and far less performative).

That’s why we asked seven of Canada’s top chefs to share the meals they actually make for their life partners on Valentine’s Day. Neither showpieces nor trends, these are just the dishes they turn to when they want to slow down, connect, and make the moment feel meaningful.

For its fourth instalment, #Bridgerton turns its focus to forbidden romance once more. This time, however, the story ventures beyond the familiar stomping grounds of aristocracy, swooping viewers down the stairs and into the servants’ quarters. It’s there that we find our leading lady, Sophie Baek (@yerinha_), scrubbing the floors and — to kick off the season — sneaking into a particularly fateful masquerade ball. In a sparkling silver disguise, Baek earns the affection of Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson). An artistically-inclined bachelor, Benedict’s disdain for formality and enthusiasm for alcohol makes him a bit of a black sheep amongst the Bridgerton brothers.

At the link in bio, #LukeThompson gets candid and spills all things filming Season 4 of Bridgerton, including his favourite fan experiences and the best Regency ‘fits.

What’s better than bubbles? A romantic cocktail. The Cupid Spritz by Dillon’s Distillery is fresh, light sip made with vodka, Niagara Grenadine and fresh lime, finished with a sparkling cherry. It’s gorgeous in a glass and simple to shake.
