I was excited to receive this book, and I have been enjoying perusing the recipes -- it is full of such diverse dishes as lobster guacamole, spicy tuna sushi rolls, spiced pumpkin pancakes, red lentil soup with ghee-infused croutons, and chocolate mousse with brandied whipped cream. Most of the recipes offered in this book seem nutritious and they all look tasty.
This book also offers a different twist -- it looks at the use of aphrodisiacs, in cooking, to spark your sex life and enhance sexual health. It includes a lengthy alphabetical list of foods, including spices, said to have aphrodisiac qualities, looking at both the history and folklore and the proven health benefits. The recipes incorporate these foods, and they include appetizers, entrees, salads, desserts, and cocktails.

A Message From Linda De Villers PhDI created this book to help you enjoy the remarkable relationship between food and sex. These two themes run brightly through my own life both personally and professionally, and are inseparable from my sense of who I am. Having counseled and taught thousands of people on the loving arts, and having fed nearly as many in my kitchens over the years, I find myself in a state of barely contained excitement over the opportunity to share what I know with you. I am the only author in this field to be credentialed in both sexual health and food, having worked and presented internationally and conducted research on the joint topic over the course of my career.
