Exploring the world’s most potent aphrodisiacs for steaming up the kitchen or bedroom (or wherever), this cookbook from a leading authority on sensual foods leads readers down the road to romance or, if preferable, simply helps them get down and dirty. More than 40 recipes based on 12 main ingredients are featured, including vanilla-scented sea bass, moist mango meatloaf, ginger mojitos, and Persian love cake, all designed to promote overall sexual health.

My main issue with this book is that neither the sex nor the cooking is particularly original. Save yourself some money: take out your old Joy of Cooking and buy a copy of the Kama Sutra.
I found the book discounted on Amazon and bought it as a Christmas gift for myself! Well organized with a list of primary ingredients, then the recipes (no pictures), and also a sort of prologue/epilogue for each recipe; I found both interesting. The recipes are categorized, just like any cookbook. Several ideas looked appealing but I won't try most of them as I'm allergic to half the author's primary list.
Mmm, what can I say? This combines two of my greatest pleasures: food and sex. (Isn't that true of most of us?)
The recipes are based around most of my absolute favorite ingredients: figs, mango, chocolate, vanilla, honey, saffron, ginger, chile, mint, peach and rosemary. They're easy to cook, and they're definitely the sort of thing to serve to someone you plan to have more than dinner with.
