Tasty Aphrodisiacs…

I love food, not as much as I love my family, friends and soon to be husband, but outside of people, I love food. I love shopping for fresh produce and meats, I love cooking, I love the look on Jason’s face when I really scored on a recipe. I love the excitement of trying a new restaurant or the anticipation of an old one (god bless the Shag roll at Uchi). I love interesting tastes, flavors and combinations of both. I also love the idea of food contributing to love.




I bought this cookbook (InterCourses: an aphrodisiac cookbook) about 4 years ago when Jason and I moved in together. The photography is stunning and the recipes are interesting. Although I don't know much about if they work or not, and I don’t really use it that often as a cookbook, I love the stories that come along with each recipe, about a moment in time, the flavors that contributed to it and how all together it makes a sweet memory. We recently went to a book signing by the author here in Austin. It was in a lingerie shop which just added to the fun. I have to say that meeting the author has renewed my desire to add some spice (and love) to the kitchen.

  1. My old roommate was a model in this book (the 1st edition)! I don't know which page, but she's covered in pine nuts, hee hee.
