'I cannot separate eroticism from food..... hence the idea for the book,a mapless journey through the regions of sensual memory,in which the boundaries between love and appetite are so diffuse that at times they evaporate completely.'
Encompassing a multicultural history of seduction through food,ancient and modern stories about sex and eating,titillating recipes (try marraqueta,a wickedly-shaped Chilean bread, a failsafe aphrodisiac Polynesian stew,and Reconciliation Soup,guaranteed to restore peace between lovers] and tantalising revelations of the author's own sensual odyssey,it is the author's fascinating guide to all things erotic - and edible.
