Description du livre Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Isabel Allendes wonderfully sexy new book, is a marvellous concoction. Enjoy it. Carolyn Hart, Marie Claire This book of recipes, sensuous stories, aphrodisiacs and lovers spells is an irresistible fusion of Allendes favourite things. Lavishly illustrated, this fascinating, personal guide to all things erotic encompasses a multicultural history of seduction through food; ancient and modern stories and poems about sex and eating; titillating recipes and advice. Chapter titles include: Cooking in the Nude; The Spell of Smell; Death by Perfume; Table Manners; With the Tip of the Tongue; The Orgy; Sins of the Flesh; Love Potions, and Sauces and Other Essential Fluids. Just as the pleasures of eating can replace the pleasures of sex, so reading about food can provoke as much satisfaction as flicking through some soft porn. Isabel Allendes charming new book aims to reconcile the two appetites, offering sensual recipes to tempt jaded palates. I dont think her collection of tips and stories is meant to be swallowed too seriously; these are titbits for grazers; amuse-gueules in the French tradition. Not a pot-boiler; rather, a spicy word-salad Telling stories, playing verbal games and flirting with words like shuttlecocks, these are the real turn-on for Allende. In between offering up light, well-flavoured reminiscences sauced with humour she imparts a certain amount of kitchen lore and suggests new ways to make roast chicken romantic; one technique is to call the bird Valentino. a delightful book, juicy with affectionately prepared vignettes that turn out well every time like an expert chefs souffles.
