Publishers Text

Throughout the history of civilization there have been foods recognised and acclaimed for their ability, not only to arouse sexual desire, but also improve sexual performance. This collection of recipes - some exotic, some amazingly familiar, but all immensely do-able - builds on the essential properties of individual fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices, even meats, that traditional kitchens understood, enhanced and harnessed.The book is divided into three sections: Starters, Main Course and Desserts and all recipes serve an intimate twosome. The section on Starters introduces simple recipes that are based on gentle natural relaxants and mood enhancers. It includes formulations for natural aids to enhance physical attractiveness and make the body more alluring. The relatively simpler postures it lists are ideal for those just starting out on their initiation to these pleasures - young lovers, newly weds and novices who are still discovering and getting acquainted with each other's physical attributes and erogenous zones, and their own sensuality.Next comes the Main Course, when the couple, confident and in tune with each other, has graduated to a more adventurous, experimental mood. The postures in this section are tougher, requiring greater strength, control and virility. The emphasis here is on energizing and invigorating pastes, oils and highly potent aphrodisiacal edibles.Desserts is the culmination: A highly specialized section meant for aficionados whose high sexual quotient inspires them to dabble in the mysterious, the unusual, the toughest of postures, magical aids and spells of the Tantra Shastra and the Atharva Veda, which are to be used at one's own risk only and definitely not recommended to the inexperienced.Aphrodisiac foods stimulate your mind and, thus, hormone secretion - which increases sexual desire in an individual, actually helping rejuvenate both body and mind. They also help combat the negative effects of fast-paced urban lifestyles by fighting fatigue and stress to restore vigour, vitality and sensuality. The bottom line is that, to remain sexually active, you have to eat your way to a healthy body.Aphrodisiacs relate to passion, which means pleasure, excitement and also the essence of living. Aphrodisiac foods are rooted in love, which is vibrant, colourful and, at times, naughty. This book attempts to address the concept of sexual arousal through food with innovative recipes that are simple, easy to cook with great intoxicating effect, thus, encouraging you to take the shortest route from dining table to bedroom! Hope you have a good time.All Recipes given in the book Serves 2.
