SHF#16: Recipe For Love

Perhaps it was a side effect of the last rounds sugarfree-ish theme, that this month we'd been sent to sashay down a more sensual side of desserts. Jennifer from Taste Everything Once wants to be tempted and enticed by recipes that stoke those romantic urgings.

On a quest for aphrodisiacs there was really only one place to go - google of course. Soon I found myself making a list and checking it twice, and working out which ingredients were the naughtiest by far.

Almonds would entice females whereas pinenuts would supply those oh-so-necessary minerals to fuel his performance. Ginger stimulated the circulation and vanilla increased feelings of lust. Chocolate and Coffee both stimulated the neurotransmitters while Alcohol, in carefully measured doses, removed our inhibitions and relaxed the mood. Passionfruit, well, it's all in the name and both berries and honey are associated with sexual viguor.

Once the list was compiled the hard part began. What ingredient would be best to accomplish the task?

Then it came it me...it was clear now. What I had in mind was my own version of the big bang theory.

Combine multiple ingredients and boost their effects and offer them in an assortment of bite sized delights - perfect for sharing. A nibble here, a nibble there.

I present the "ultimate platter of passion"

  5. Hi Christine

    the items are actually quite small, at most two bites - the whole idea was sharing and what's better than sharing with the one you love... take a bite or a sip and experience a little of everything.
