This lighthearted literary collection of aphrodisiac recipes contains a variety of legendary dishes which are said to enhance sexuality and restore faltering desire. While not every gourmet will be able to obtain skink, a reptile native to the deserts of Africa, or clean and truss young crane, or find leopard's marrow to cook in goat's milk (a recipe for offsetting timidity) the ubiquitous oyster is present in various recipes along with other items commonly found in American cupboards. The dry British wit of Norman Douglas, founder of the Capri school of writing, enhances this delightful excursion into culinary erotica. is a one-of-a-kind book sure to interest students of esoterica-and erotica. Makes an amusing gift for the significant other who has everything.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
It is fitting I think that his latest book should be as unserious and shameless as this collection of aphrodisiac recipes. With its air of scholarship its blend of the practical and the wildly impractical this book will be one of my favourite Douglases.
