Eat Me: Love, Sex And the Art of Eating

by Alexandra Antonioni, Marco Pierre White (Introduction)

Sex and the City meets the culinary goddess within. Food can play a prime role in the mating game, and here readers can find a collection of musings, anecdotes, quotes, and recipes to smooth the path of love. She takes us through the highs and lows of modern-day relationships, setting them against a backdrop of culinary flirting and romance. From first-date dinners to post-coital snacks (and comfort food when it all goes wrong), this little tome is generously interspersed with luscious recipes as well as relationship advice. A fun and quirky treat for foodies who are looking for Mr. Right.

f you are looking for a light week-end or vacation reading this is the book. It’s funny and spiritual. You’ll get rather sensible views on women-men relations. It’s a book with bonuses: it comes with a dozen of fine recipes and titles of melodies to accompany each stage of romance.  So, go get a pen. Or rather not, if it all sounds familiar :) :

The Beginning: magic, attraction, first date, crazy love, seduction dinner, aphrodisiacs, pink cloud, Sunday mornings, room service, mini vacation, indoor picnics, see you after work – bring your tooth brush, food for crazy passion, two simple words, first fight, the beginning of the end.

The Middle: the seventh haven, we get invited, the nick name, friendship for life, domestic happiness?, soul-mates, I hate Mondays, welcome to Lola, La famiglia, home alone, for better and worse, is it true? check it out. Want to impress La Famiglia? They will find you irresistible after a chocolate and raspberry roulade (recipe included in the book).

The End: thunders and lighting, the end is approaching…, one more time, the last dance…, food, superb food, the seven stages of the end, ouch…it hurts…. Cigliege sotto spirit0  (cherries in alcohol) and Survivor by Destiny's Child are on the suggestions list for this stage.

“All you need is love”, the author’s choice of ending the book, made me repeatedly return for more.

this book might be a surprise gift for non-cooking friends. At first they might look at it with a raised brow. A friend of mine who touched no kitchen ustencil in 30 years, started cooking and baking to everyones, hers included, amazement and delight, after this book landed under her Christmas tree last year with my note "Enjoy it!" Attached to it. I feel her personal life s also about to embark on a delightful journey she will enjoy.
