A sensual celebration of colorful, contrasting flavors.

Whether it's a quiet evening at home or a spicy night on the town, chile offers a wide variety of flavors to spice up your meals and your love life. Heat things up with such seductive delights as South American Ceviche and a Three Sisters Bloody Mary, followed by Secret Passion Crème Brûlée. 24 color photos.

About the Cook West Series: Savor the flavors of the West. Each book in the Cook West Series celebrates the tastes, colors, aromas, and ingredients that create the food of the American West.

Each title in the Cook West Series offers 50 original recipes and helpful tips to impress, inspire, and invigorate. Western cuisine is gaining in popularity, and rightly so! Where, but in the West, can one experience the marital bliss of chile and chocolate? Or a refreshing glass of prickly pear lemonade on a hot summer day? Soothe your soul with the creaminess of avocado or allow your taste buds to dance around a tantalizing olive. Enjoy the pleasantly stimulating aroma of roasting garlic or the zesty tang of cilantro. From rubs and sauces to delightful desserts, Western cooks have laid claim to a culinary art as original and distinct as the landscape itself. Conveniently sized and affordably priced, each book in the Cook West Series is the perfect addition for every cookbook library.

More About the Author

A passionate aphrodisiac foods advocate, Amy Reiley is one of the foremost-educated women in food and wine. In August 2004, she became the second American to earn the title Master of Gastronomy awarded by France's culinary temple, Le Cordon Bleu.

As the creator of Amy Reiley's Pocket Vineyard in 1999, Amy quickly established her place in this male dominated industry by introducing the world to the first comprehensive wine program for PDA's. In 2001 she launched the companion program, Amy Reiley's Pocket Gourmet, lauded by Newsweek as the first of its kind. Both the Pocket Vineyard and Pocket Gourmet were named two of Worth Magazine's "must have" PDA programs in 2002.

In 2006, Amy released her first book, Fork Me, Spoon Me: the sensual cookbook, cementing her role as America's leading aphrodisiac food authority. Filling a niche in the cookbook market, demand resulted in the book's second edition less than two years later. The book has been recommended in publications from Glamour to Epicurious to Playboy. Reiley has been featured speaking on aphrodisiacs on The CBS Early Show, Fine Living TV, BBC London and NPR radio, among others.

Amy's second book, Chile Aphrodisia by Rio Nuevo press, was released in June 2006. In June 2010 she released a new book, The Love Diet, with co-author Juan-Carlos Cruz.

1.0 out of 5 stars A collection of non-tested recipes, October 14, 2006
By 
This review is from: Chile Aphrodisia (Cook West) (Paperback)
As with others books of the COOK WEST series, Chile Aphrodisia seems to be a collection of recipes conceived in the mind but never tested in the kitchen. Most of the recipes ends up in a nasty taste or non attractive presentation. More than 90% of the photos doesn't illustrate the actual dishes, but other subjects indirectly related with the recipes. The author probably have a lot of creative thinking, but should try it first at kitchen and take an actual photo to express her creation. Not recommended for a serious or formal meal.
