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.

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!!

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.

The majority of these recipes were seafood and I didn't find much that appealed to me. I would have sent it back but was too lazy. However, I do think it would make a nice uncommon item to gift on a special occasion.

Food is love...and this cookbook not only has some incredibly creative ways to incorporate seductive ingredients, it provides an interesting and amusing history lesson along the way. The prose weaves and connects the recipes...and the journey is one you don't want to miss. My favorite recipes are the gingerbread and the mango meatloaf. Never thought I was a big fan of mango, but after how it is seductively described in the book, I have found a new love. Really great recipe...interesting ingredients melded together, create a moist, delicious, and sensuous experience.

there is simply no better wedding, engagement or anniversary gift for couples. this book is fun, the food is delish and the recipes are easy. fork me spoon me is a no brainer!

I got this book as a gift from my boyfriend this V-day, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and accesible the recipes were. Even my boyfriend, who can't even make his own toast, was helping with the the love almond pesto pasta... yum! The cookbook also helpfully centers around certain ingredients with aphrodasiac qualities, like mint and chilis which makes the shopping easier.

We also really love the sauces, which can be made and used on anything we like - our favorite is sweet and hot apricot sauce, which is great on any sort of meat.

I'm so glad that this book helped me and my boyfriend get closer - and it sure beats our former diet of salads and canned pasta sauce.

This book makes a great gift - especially for someone you'd like to seduce! Incredible user-friendly recipes, and the stories make this more of a memoir than a cookbook! Grab a champagne cocktail, curl up and be prepared to get hot!!

What a fun book and the recipes are both helpful and exciting. I enjoyed this book so much I ordered several copies for friends.

Amy Reiley's guide to aphrodisiac foods is a fun, informative read. From historical information to modern recipes, this book is a must have for EVERYONE!
