Moules Mariniere..? Mussels.. (if she likes then)
or
Pastry parcel - Salmon on a bed of Spinach / Chicken with Pesto stuffing
(Use ready made pastry)
Steamed seasonal Veg
Creamy Sauce..
A good bottle of White Wine
Dessert as described
You won't want something Too Heavy, If its a night of celebration you're after..!

Mussels (in a bag so real quick and easy) - with a crisp white
Then Pasta - quick, easy and romantic - with a nice red
Tarte Citron or Tarte Tatin - out of a box (Waitrose do a lovely one) - Maybe a lovely desert wine
Don't have an Alcohol problem do you..?..Then Pasta - quick, easy and romantic - with a nice red

3 Bottles during a 3 course meal..
That'll soften her up..!
with ragrds to her fav food, she doesnt gove much away tbh! shes doesnt like mussels but does like some other fish (had sea bass when i took her out) im no big fan of salmon though!
i know she likes a nice rose wine though!
had thought about the risotto route, also tempted by something like chicken cocovan? dunno if i can be bothered with a starter as such, she doesnt eat that much, but maybe somthing to nibble on before hand? (apart from me)

I'd get rid of her if she didn't do curry...
or mussels, but she likes a nice rose wine though! Sounds like a food nighmare waiting to happen than one.
Shepherds Pie, Goulash(sp?) with crusty bread and butter.
Fresh berries with melted white chocolate poured over before serving (sweet sticky and messy mmmm)
