My Review
Intimacy on the Plate is a unique cookbook that will both educate and enthrall. Included are a little over 200 recipes, all involving some form of aphrodisiac. The book is broken down by category (veggies, nuts, fish, fruits, etc), and the back of the book includes an ingredient list so you can easily find a recipe to try based on what you currently have on hand, or what you plan to buy the next time you go to the store.
This cookbook not only includes recipes, but it also includes some very interesting and educational science behind foods known to be aphrodisiacs. There were some I knew were considered to boost desire, and some that surprised me. Like almonds. I didn't know they were an aphrodisiac, and considering they're one of my favorite foods, I enjoyed discovering how unique they really can be.
The one thing I kind of missed was pictures. I know this is the Extra Trim Edition, and pictures were left out to make the book a little smaller, but I would have liked a few here and there to showcase what the finished product of certain recipes looked like. Even if it was in black and white, I wouldn't have minded.
Overall, though, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the facts behind the foods mentioned in Intimacy on the Plate. If you're looking for a new cookbook that will titillate your senses, give this one a whirl. I'd recommend it.
I rate Intimacy on the Plate 4.5 stars.
