Though the recipes may be good, the photos are too racy for your average household with children. Also, there are stories to go with some of the recipes that you wouldn't want them to read, either. The photos in the book are similar to the front cover: a nude body with food strategicly placed. Why does every recipe need a nude body with raw food placed on it? Why couldn't a picture of the finished product be photographed with or instead of it? This shouldn't be sold in a cookbook category at all. There are way more photos than recipes so my suspicion is, THEY are the aphrodesiac and not the recipes! I purchased this in a cookbook lot with other books from ebay. This one, I threw in the trash. It would have went in the fireplace, had I owned one. Thankfully, the rest of the lot was well worth my money. While this review may actually entice some into buying it, at least the ones who would be repulsed by it won't waste their money if looking at this online.Read full review
This is a decent book, with great recipies. However, my issue was that most of the recipies cost a great deal once you bought all of the ingridents, not to mention the time it would take to prepare, well none of it quite goes together!...Well that rate, it's more romantic to just go out and have someone cook for you. No point in getting a book to improve your sex life when you spend all your time and money in the kitchen!
I love the recipes in this cookbook! I have tried almost every one in the book and have won a few cooking contests with some of them. The catagories are different from the basics like beverages, appetizers etc. The author divides the cookbook by catagories such as pine nuts, black beans, chocolate, etc. and explains why the foods are aphrodisiacs. The recipes share charming stories about the food which give you something to talk about when serving your own version. Tasteful photos accompany the groups of foods. It conveys a subtle message but is by no means naughty.
I saw this book thru a friend. It is deliciously inviting without being distasteful. Pictures are risque but not as much as some commercials shown during prime time. My husband loves to cook and read cookbooks. I think this one will turn his eye a little and maybe give his cooking a whole new purpose. Giving one to each of my girlfriends so we can compare notes on recipes...
passionate food? Who doesn't love that?! This book was amazing for getting not only new recipes you can try (highly recommend the french toast!) but also for the suggestions made throughout. Very well written, colorful, and tastefully done. Try it for a breakfast in bed setting, and also for the romantic evenings alone. light some candles, and enjoy your creations! :D
