While a night out on the town isn’t possible at the moment, that doesn’t mean you have to skip date night altogether. Get a little competition going and host your own version of Chopped, or take turns alternating and preparing resort-level meals at home.

Check out these luxury vacation-inspired recipes:

First up, cocktails. Create your own Heavy-Handed Gin and Tonic like the one you’d enjoy at Whiteface Lodge’s KANU, located in Lake Placid, New York.

For the appetizer, start your night with a cucumber zucchini salad with hearts of palm, as you’d find on the menu at Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona. It’s simple, light and refreshing.

Prime Delmonico, from the Tap Room at Pebble Beach Resorts in Pebble Beach, California, offers a great excuse to fire up the grill. This recipe requires little more than a prime cut, salt, pepper and a grill.

Don’t forget the sides, with potato broccoli gratin with garlic, just like Gaby Brasserie Française’s at Sofitel New York in New York City. Bulk up the side dish to serve as a main for vegetarians or enjoy paired with your steak.

On to dessert, create your own key lime tart, using the flavors of Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa at Riviera Beach, Florida. You can basically taste the Floridian sunset with this one.

Phnom Penh as we imagined it stretches beneath us: a picturesque, low-rise mix of Southeast Asian and French Colonial styles. When the inhabitants of those buildings look back at us here in the Fairfield by Marriott hotel in Chip Mong Tower, they see the future.

Amansara Review

It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
