A Seduction Meal does not have to be a full blown gourmet feast nor does it have to cost a lot of money. The  scallop recipe below is the perfect example.  Seared scallops that are basted with a thyme butter sauce, served over a bed of savory vegetables sauteed in butter, topped with a simple, flavorable jus. This scallop dish can be served as an appetizer or a main dish and is sure to please.

The secret to this dish is to not to overcook the scallops or they will become tough. As soon as they turn opaque and white they are done. As with all seafood, buy fresh. Scallops have a distinct, sweet odor when they are fresh. Between taste, quality ingredients, texture, and flavors the simplicity of a dish will shine on its own.

A hearty meal for a cold winter's night, Spaghetti Carbonara is 100% comfort food. And best of all, it can be made in 1/2 hour. I like to serve this with a tomato basil bruschetta and a bottle of chilled white burgundy like Domaine Vocoret 2006 Chablis. I typically do not add salt to this dish as the pancetta is salty. One of the best things about this delicious dish--Including the wine and bruschetta, this Seduction Meal is less than $40 for two.
