      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      FOREWORD:

      THE SEDUCTION COOKBOOK

      It was the umpteenth time we were compelled to leave the dining room table before I had served dessert. Groping, kissing, and undressing each other, it seemed the humble feast I’d prepared had inspired us. What is it about eating together that gets us so excited? I wondered, as a finger full of whipped cream from our forgotten dessert was offered to my lips, then kissed away.

      Eating together is one of the most bonding experiences humans can share. Studies of aromas and arousal show that the scent of food provokes the steamiest response, the theory being that our distant ancestors congregated right after the hunt, where the chances were increased of finding a mate and procreating successfully. The visual beauty of food, with its shapes and colors, induce many other senses to react. Tastes that stimulate our palates also cause physical responses. The ritual of dining evokes romance. But without scientifically or culturally analyzing the body’s response to food, I have found the repeated outcome: When I prepare a sumptuous meal for my significant other, we find ourselves making wild, passionate love to one another.

      How can you work this culinary magic on your mate? The Seduction Cookbook delivers alluring menus and foods styled to fit your seduction method, whatever it might be. Would you like to test the powers of aphrodisiacs? Prepare a simple, yet inspiring, omelet for the morning after? Plan a tantalizing Valentine’s Day menu? Sup on sensual finger foods? Serve a fireside late-night snack? The Seduction Cookbook offers tips and techniques for finding the way to your lover’s heart with sensual foods.

      INTRODUCTION:

      WHAT IS SEDUCTION COOKING?

      Cooking and seduction are delicious arts that involve head, hand, and heart. Great lovers are inspired by passion, as are great chefs. How can you excite your lover’s appetite? With seduction cookery, defined by utilizing recipes that are easily prepared, allowing a cook to spend less time in the kitchen and more time enchanting a lover. By exploring foods that appeal sensually to sight, taste, smell, and touch. Through serving menus that turn a dining experience into a culinary orgy. Devising dishes that sate but don’t stuff. By sharing foods that make you ravenous for more…food or sex!

      Seductive foods make us feel energetic, provide a sense of well being, and increase stamina. Coincidentally, the foods long considered aphrodisiacs are those packed with vibrant freshness, visual evocations, heady aromas, and nutrients needed for peak sexual performance. Do aphrodisiacs really work? Well, not many have been proven scientifically, but remembering that a little imagination can go far in the art of seduction, serving these sexy foods with a provocative story tempts a lover just through the telling.

      Above all, serving it forth with a sense of humor and a healthy sense of adventure will reap the greatest rewards. Be curious. Try new things. Get your hands dirty. Wear a blindfold. Be a human dish. Flirt. Dress up.

      Dress down. Don’t wear anything at all…. if all else fails, showing up naked with the dessert course should get things moving in the right direction!

      I have perfumed my bed with myrrh,

      aloes, and cinnamon.

      Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning;

      Let us solace ourselves with loves.

      —Proverbs 7:17-18

      WRITE A SEXY INVITATION TO DINE

      Send a single rose with a handwritten message tied to it.

      Use a tube of lipstick to write on your lover’s car window or bathroom mirror.

      Deliver a pair of sexy underwear with a request to wear it to dinner.

      Send a singing telegram—write your own lyrics to a popular tune.

      Write a message in a secret code that only your lover could crack.

      Transmit an electronic greeting card, writing your own lascivious prose.

      Cut out magazine headlines to fashion an anonymous ransom-style note.

      Make a box of handmade Erotic Fortune Cookies (see recipe) spelling out specifics for your seduction dinner.

      Place a personal ad in the local newspaper.

      SEDUCTIVE STARTERS: GETTING WARMED UP

      Warm things up or get wildly carried away with these alluring initiators. You could even make these seductive starters the highlight of your dining experience by preparing a buffet of luscious tidbits.

      Design the stage for your evening of seduction. Dim the lights and fire up plenty of candles. Create exotic lighting by draping scarves over lamps. A log in the fireplace is sure to heat things no matter the season, or a sultry breeze wafting through sheer curtains on a warm night imparts an alluring atmosphere.

      Set an elegant table with a simple floral arrangement to make a romantic statement. But don’t limit yourself: A couch with cushy pillows and
