Fork
Me, Spoon Me
The
Sensual Cookbook
by
Amy Reiley
Promising to stimulate
more than just your taste buds, Fork Me, Spoon Me: The
Sensual Cookbook unveils the pleasure seekers’
potions. Using sultry, provocative language, this tiny volume
offers easy-to-follow recipes highlighting ingredients known
for their arousal-inducing potential. Mint, recommended
by Shakespeare as a natural Viagra for middle-aged men,
is used to prepare shrimp-stuffed springs rolls. Ginger
root, known to raise body heat, spices up the morning with
breakfast in bed, feasting on triple ginger-bread. And saffron,
used by the Romans to scent baths of aristocratic gentlemen
and their inamoratas, infuses saffron-basil matzo ball soup
with love. Author Amy Reiley, the second American to earn
a Master of Gastronomy from Le Cordon Bleu, also includes
a chapter on sauces, quirky anecdotes and original info
about the aphrodisiacs used in each recipe. Raise your spatula
and fire up the oven, all in the spirit of sexy.
