Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I gathered some chocolate recipes from the Just One Cookbook.com archive to share with you.
Recently my daughter kept getting sick (and still a bit sick) and I haven’t had the chance to squeeze in some time to make desserts for this year’s Valentine’s Day. Hopefully you will enjoy these yummy recipes from the past and I will try to add more dessert recipes for next year’s Valentine’s Day roundup!
As some of you are aware, I’m still a novice baker who only bakes and makes desserts occasionally; however, these recipes are my family and friends’ favorites and I hope you enjoy making these delicious chocolate recipes.

Well for a ‘novice’, Nami, you always come up trumps in your baking. Wonderful round-up and hope that your wee ones get back on top form asap! All this chocolate will definitely help.
I knew I would be treated with delicious chocolates when I swing over here, Nami:) Everything looks fabulous and beautifully presented! The hard part is to decide which one to go for. May be every day should be Valentine’s day!:)
I think I need to try one of each, Nami!
what sweet ideas you have for valentine’s day ^^ while i’ve not tried the others, i love the nama chocolate recipe you shared ^^! it’s an exceptionally elegant and luscious treat in my books ^^ novice? i think not ^^.. i always look forward to your bakes!
Actually that is quite the round up Nami! I’ll have one of everything lol.
For someone who claims to be a novice baker … you’ve posted an amazing array of gorgeous chocolate desserts. And the settings of each item is exquisite. colourful and unique.
Hi Nami, Simenon The recipe of nama chocolates gives a link to the chocolate soufflé. Also nice, but I was curious what the Nama ones were.
Thanks!
Thank you Lara! I fixed it.
This is such professional baking my friend, simply exquisite round up
Cheers

I love this
Every one of these treats looks extraordinary!!
Hope your little one gets better, Nami! Both of mine have been sick, too. :/
These all look divine! I’m not much of a celebrator of valentines day, but I think I’ll have to bake something for it now.
Lovely Nami, beautiful photos and recipes. Hope your daughter gets well soon
Oh Nami, I hope your daughter is feeling better…thanks for this amazing round-up of chocolate recipes…
Oh everything is amazing!
Happy Valentines day!
That souffle looks to die for, Nami!! Happy early vday =)
yum great recipe share!!
Oh these all look delicious Nami! I hope your daughter gets to feeling better soon. I was sick for a month and just recently got well. One thing then another, it’s no fun. I’m sure a yummy valentine from you will do the trick.
I’ll take one of each!
Hi Nami! Thanks for compiling this!
I’d tried your Nama chocolate recipe previously and they were simply awesome! Eyeing the Chocolate Gateau next…
Can I say I want EVERY SINGLE ONE!!
Amazing round-up! I seriously want to make it all!
I think I have to bring on the fat pants for this.
Nami,
Am just catching up on favourite blogs and posts!
Drooling here!
…errr and you’re claiming yourself as a novice baker – you must be joking! Your work truly shows how an awesome baker you are! Everything looks so wonderful on the screen and I’m sure they all taste amazing too. Hope your daughter is feeling better.
It looks to me like you make a lot of desserts and that you’re very good at it! Love your Valentine’s Day collection – very yummy xx
Oh my gosh Nami, everything looks so good. I think the bananas are my fave. I tend to be drawn to simple. Your chocolate ice cream is really amazing too. So sorry your little pumpkin has been sick. There sure is stuff going around right now.
Everything looks so pretty! And perfect for V-Day!
I know I’ll be making your chocolate gateau very soon. For sure.
I would eat each and everyone one of these sweet treats!! Wishing you and your family and Happy Valentine’s day. Hope your little girl feels better.
Craving something chocolate now!! Yours look scrumptious!
For someone who doesn’t bake much and is a novice, you sure do an outstanding job! Great selection. Hope your daughter gets well – there’s been some kind of nasty bug going around that takes some time to get over. Anyway, fun post – thanks.
Hope your daughter fully recovers soon. Lovely roundup.
My favorite is definitely the Nama Chocolates….I get someone to buy these delicious chocolate from the Japanese Brand, Royce….absolutely devine! Have a good weekend!
I hope your daughter gets better soon Nami! The poor little thing! And thank you for your very helpful references for recipes
Dear Nami, thank you so much for including my truffles into your chocolate recipes! It’s extremely kind of you
They are however nothing compared to the wide range of chocolate delights you have shared with us! And you still call yourself a novice baker??? You are just teasing us 
That’s all. St Valentine’s or not, I will certainly be making something chocolatey soon. With these inspiring photos I will not resist my craving!
So many beautiful desserts Nami. I am very impressed. I esp love your nama chocolate (cos I’ve tested it!) and your chocolate souffle looks amazing too.
Not sure if u celebrate CNY since your Hubby is Taiwanese, but if you do, Happy CNY to you and yr family! x
How much would my kids love to come to your house for these treats! They love, love, love chocolate. I just so rarely bake with it – mostly because I don’t eat. Every once and a while I surprise them with a chocolate treat though. These are wonderful treats for Valentine’s too! Enjoy your weekend Nami.

I have a severe weakness when it comes to chocolate. You are killing my will power right now, Nami!
Thanks for pulling this post together!!! I was thinking about trying my hand at a chocolate souffle next week and here it is. I remember this post and so glad you brought it back!!! We had a chocolate souffle at a restaurant this summer and it was served with a late harvest Zinfandel. So good! Sounds like a great V-Day dinner, I mean dessert
, to me. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Excellent recap of your chocolate creations…!!!
Hope your daughter is better now. Kids used to be sick so easy, specially if they are at school.
love this roundup, though at the same time, feeling slightly bad because I wish i had a special someone to make all these lovely chocolate treats for hehe. oh well, there’s no stopping me from having some myself! you are so NOT a novice at bakign nami, pfft.
I would say you’ve posted some wonderful chocolate recipes for Valentines Day-thanks for the inspiration;-) I hope everyone is well and enjoying the blue skies we’re having today;-)
The nama chocolate looks delicious!
Chocolate anything is just fine by me and all of these look absolutely wonderful!
NO way are you a novice baker! Just look at that perfectly executed souffle!!! I hope you’ll have a healthy household soon! xo
wow, a great selection u have here, Nami..and they look s professional! I am bookmarking the souffle-always a challenge for me to get it risen and stay risen!
I hope your daughter get well soon! All these chocolate recipes made me feel relaxed already. I love chocolate
I love those Japanese truffles from last year. I didn’t get to make them last time but I am going to do so this year. The rest of the chocolate dishes look fantastic. Thanks for sharing them. Hope your daughter will feel better soon.
Oh i love that chocolate souffle!
Hi Nami,
I’ll try making Nama chocolate and Chocolate souffle for this coming Val’s Day, wish me luck LOL
Happy Valentine’s Day!
oooh! too delicious! pics are just beautiful, you are an artist, Nami. Hope baby is back to perfect health soon.
These are all wonderful choices for Valentine’s Day or ANY day! I did not know you had so many yummy chocolate goodies on your site. I’m going to check them all out.
I want all of it..and I want it now! hehehe…Wonderful collection of sweet Valentine Recipes. I love them all!!!!!
By looking at all chocolate I can taste the Valentine day’s approach!
beautiful, Nami!
Good collection ! Wish to try out all the recipes .
You call that novice, mmmmm questionable. Look at what you can do, its very impressive even for a pro. Anyways hoping you daughter get well soon.
Oh no
I hope your daughter gets well soon, it’s hard for little kids though, like my nephew he’ll get better but then he’ll go to school and someone else will be sick and he’ll become sick again.
I love your recipes from the past especially the NAMA Chocolates!!!!
Hi Nami, seeing your nama chocolate post (I was almost about to write “Nami Chocolate”
) made me remember it from last year. I used to be crazy for ROYCE when I was in Japan and it still makes me sad that I can’t get it here. I read that it’s all made from special Hokkaido cow milk/cream and not sold at all outside Japan, right? Anyway – you made me remember how I was planning on making it and never got around to it so this year I must give it a try. Am going to favourite the recipe now! 
These are all wonderful ideas for Valentines Day, Nami and not to mention delicious! Well, I wish you and Shen to have a Happy Valentines Day!
Every dish looks so sweet and delicious. I don’t even start thinking about Valentines day desserts yet-)) Very slow this year. I am thinking to make a chocolate soufflé or chocolate creme brûlée. Thank you for amazing round-up!
What a beautiful selection of chocolate treats, Nami! I think you’ve graduated from “novice baker” now…
I love all your chocolate recipes – especially the chocolate gateau. Great job, Nami!
All the photos are beautiful as well but my favorite is the Nama chocolate one. The contrast of colors is gorgeous plus tell a story. Happy V-day!
Wow! So much delicious chocolatey goodness. I bet there are plenty of happy Valetine’s out there now
Seems Delicious…A treat for the eyes and the stomach…
