1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing as a cookbook!, January 7, 2008

By	PSN (Merced, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I am quite disappointed in this book as an actual "cookbook." The prose is contrived and almost comical in its attempt to be erotic, but I can respect the fact that suggestive words and alliterations can be fun, or even inspiring, for some. However, as much as I enjoy the erotic in life, I purchased this book for the express purpose of finding some nice recipes, not just for titillating text, and it is sadly lacking in the recipe offerings. There are some very interesting tidbits on food history and origin, and some of the recipes are indeed delicious sounding -- there just isn't enough of them to satisfy what I was looking for when I bought the book. However, I do find it an amusing read.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than aphrodisiacs, February 17, 2006

By	Diane B. Savahge "Diane Brown, Author, The Se... (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This clever diary of an impish seductress does more than define aphrodisiacs: It helps you grasp the method of discovering the sensuality of food. Take the recipes seriously, but more importantly, read the prose for a complete understanding of the delights of culinary temptation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy!, June 2, 2007

By	R. Nadhazy (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There's nothing better then cooking for your lover and this book turns up the heat! Reilly describes different herbs, fruits and spices and how they can effect the senses. The scent of vanilla, the warm burn of chiles and ginger really do have a soothing, (and sensual!), effect. In the this book, you'll use the sexy ingredients to create such treats as creamy milkshakes, hot honey nuts and triple gingerbread. If you wanna treat your man to a filling meal, (while possibly wearing stilettos), try spending an evening sharing the task of making Moist Mango Meatloaf!

This a great gift that I'm passed on to many friends. You don't have to save something like this for special occasions; Fork Me, Spoon Me is a welcome perspective on food for any dinner, desert - or food play! EVERYONE who loves to cook should have a copy placed next to The Joy of Cooking!!
