Guide Review - InterCourses: an aphrodisiac cookbook
InterCourses: an aphrodisiac cookbook pays beautiful homage to these infamous ingredients. The seventeen different foods that star in this cookbook include some of the more popular such as asparagus, strawberries and oysters, as well as the less obvious such as coffee, chiles and basil. Each ingredient plays a starring role in the accompanying recipes. The recipes themselves share that elusive combination of creativity and simplicity.
Beyond the recipes, the book is an aphrodisiac itself. The authors illustrate each ingredient with well chosen quotes from both literature and individuals. Plus, their introductory writing on each food is a sensual experience all of its own. The photographs are beautifully erotic and tasteful at the same time. Whether you choose to cook any of the recipes in this book, simply reading it with your partner will be an aphrodisiac experience.
