Book Description

January 7, 2003
Seduce, Stimulate & Satisfy Your Lover
What better than a lovely, lacy, tasty delicacy to set the stage for romance? It's called culinary seduction, and it will turn on both you and your lover's appetites for great food and passionate sex.
Hot, Sweet & Sticky shows you how to take common foods and ingredients with aphrodisiacal qualities and create sexy dishes that are sublime on the tongue and irresistible to the imagination. Enjoy your love-food, and then savor each other all night long.
Perfect for any occasion, the hot, sweet & sticky recipes include:
·First Seductions—Sultry starters with flavors, textures, and colors that are certain to stimulate.
·Breakfast Beginnings—As the dough for the cinnamon-chocolate buns rises, you and your partner can keep yourselves busy.
·Mediterranean Nights—Rich, robust flavors that offer the perfect opportunity to explore timeless, sensual recipes and celebrate romance.
·Late-Night Rendezvous—Seductive, practical meals that provide the spark for endless fireworks.
·And more!
Sex and food: The voluptuous textures, tantalizing tastes, and mouthwatering aromas entice, persuade, seduce, and satisfy. It's no wonder that a lovingly prepared, creatively presented meal often titillates and intrigues far more than the taste buds.
Hot, Sweet & Sticky is a luscious collection of recipes based on ingredients with age-old aphrodisiacal qualities, such as chocolate, strawberries, chilies, and oysters. No matter your taste, inside are the perfect appetizers, salads, main dishes, and desserts to stimulate and satisfy any appetite, any time.
So surprise your lover. Be brave! The pleasure of both sex and cooking lies in improvising and adventure. Toss aside your inhibitions and unleash the power of seduction as you guide the tongue and senses to new places. You'll both be gratified by the outcome as you nibble and taste the hot, sweet, and sticky allure of culinary seduction.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The cover of this little cookbook features a sexy couple eating in bed, and Garrett, in the first sentence of her introduction, warns that "this is not a book for the fainthearted." Both may tempt browsers, but they're not actually indicative of this book's contents. Garrett collects recipes mainly from California and New York restaurants (many of which will be familiar to foodies) and deftly matches them with settings and moods, often including anecdotes from the chefs themselves. Despite introductory explanations, some of the connections are a little hard to see: Turkey with Mole Sauce is part of a chapter on "Carnaval" because its "enticingly silky sheen" makes mole "one of the sexiest of sauces." The Rocket-in-Your-Pocket Salad is a simple and delicious (but very basic) arugula concoction-another name for the bitter green is rocket-that's found in her "Late-Night Rendezvous" section. While there are similar, better-produced books, such as Intercourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook and The Seduction Cookbook, Garrett holds her own with this thoughtful and never pushy set of menus and suggestions for presentation. She also tosses in quote-lets, poems, and examples from history to liven up this sweet, smart, but not actually very sexy, book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensuality in the Kitchen, February 6, 2011
This review is from: Hot, Sweet, and Sticky: 12 Romantic Feasts to Tempt Your Lover (Hardcover)
Many cookbooks and food writers attempt to connect food and sexuality, but few succeed without cliche and an overwrought writing style. Doreen Garrett is the exception: not only are the recipes imaginative and alluring, she never overstretches in her writing, blending historical detail with suggestive references, for example, to "pungent after-sex" when speaking of truffles. As a cookbook, it stands on its own, but the connection to romance is never neglected. Sprinkled with wonderful extracts of poems and quotations from a variety of arcane sources, the "twelve romantic feasts" range from a seductive picnic spread to a romantic cornucopia to accompany a proposal of marriage. Even if you just take this book to bed and read it aloud to your lover, you will arouse desire, but then you'd miss out on sex in the kitchen.
