How to Set the Mood for Valentine’s Day with Google Nest

1. Ask Food Network for Recipes  

If you are a Food Network junkie like us, you will be excited to know Google Nest can help you prepared a romantic dinner for your loved one thanks to the ability to get recipes in a snap. By using Bon Appetit, The New York Times, and The Food Network, you will be able to talk to Google Assistant on your Google Nest hands-free and get your sweetheart’s favorite dishes. 

You’ll be able to follow step-by-step cooking instructions for more than 5 million recipes. You can also have the recipes sent straight to your inbox. With such assistance, you don’t have to be nervous about adding the wrong ingredients that can cause a bizarre allergic reaction like in the movie Hitch.  

All you have to say, “Hey Google,” talk to Food Network” to get started.

2. Make Dinner Reservation  

Google Nest will soon be able to call restaurants on its own to make reservations for you with Google Duplex but for now, you can ask Google Assistant, “Hey Google,” make dinner reservations and you will get a list sent to your phone of local restaurants near you. 

You can also ask Google for restaurant recommendations.

3. Dim the Lights  

You can create a romantic evening with smart bulbs, like the ones from LIFX. Instead of getting up to walk across the room to switch the lights off you can ask Google Assistant to dim the lights with a simple voice command or schedule a time to dim automatically.

This can also be done with Belkin WeMo smart plug. This might be just the ticket to a romantic interlude.

4. Play Your Favorite Love Songs to Set the Mood  

Gather all of your favorite love songs to make the ultimate playlist or ask Google Assistant to play Valentine’s Day Love from Spotify playlist. Google Nest can play the kind of music you want to hear from YouTube Music, Google Music, Deezer, or Pandora. Choose the rights ones that remind you of your partner.

Save the Hip Hop or Rock for another time, love songs are essential to setting the right mood for a perfect romantic evening.
