valentine's day gifts

j's mother gave us this card & book for valentine's day when we saw her at her birthday dinner. j's brother & sister got the same book. some of the recipes which i DON'T imagine i'll be making: james' 5-minute chocolate deviled kidneys; eggplant, chocolate, and goat cheese pizzettes; hare and chocolate sauce; roast lamb with chocolate, anchovies, and capers; chocolate tempura; chocolate sushi (the latter two are NOT desserts - strictly savory!). some recipes which i might try: chocolate pound cake with white chocolate frosting; raspberry and chocolate tart; chocolate manhattans. after quickly flipping through the book, the most interesting recipe sounds like the one for white chocolate panna cotta with saffron and cardamom. i've never thought about using saffron in a sweet dish...
