Appetite For Passion Cookbook

In the popular movie Like Water for Chocolate,Ó food became a source of passion & cooking a kind of sorcery. This volume takes readers into this same passionate world of the senses, where cooking is a pleasurable adventure & each enticing dish creates an intimate connection between the cook & those who eat it. Here are more than 60 vibrant recipes that link passion & food in various ways. Some make imaginative use of ingredients such as figs & oysters, for centuries considered aphrodisiacs; but others take their cue from the earthy but complex flavors of Mexico & the American Southwest. Each chapter also contains a selection of healthful, low-fat recipes that still have culinary excitement. Includes aphrodisiac lore, & quotes about love & food.
