The first ever basic cook book of its kind that treats dining as a total sensual experience and cooking as an avenue for creative expression. In this book, love is the ultimate objective and cooking for romance is the pathway to fulfillment. Recipes include the very best of the old and the new from the author s 40 year repertoire. Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of cooking will have no trouble following these easy instructions. Recipes include comfort food favorites like twice-baked potatoes, fried chicken, meatballs and spaghetti.
Nothing is left out.
There is advice on menu selection, background music for a romantic dinner, decorating to create the right mood including lighting and flowers, using food as an aphrodisiac, astrology and food, and what makes some foods more sensual than others. Interspersed throughout the text are choice cooking tips such as how to extract the maximum juice from a lemon by microwaving it. And there are historical, mythological and other anecdotes having to do with food and love. The subject is treated humorously but this is a serious cookbook. And although it is presented as a cookbook for lovers, it has something for everyone that you love.
