Book Reviews of Seduction and Spice: 130 Recipes for Romance
Book Review: Culinary Fantasies
Summary: 5 Stars
Rudi Sodamin believes love is the ultimate aphrodisiac and he has also discovered foods we cook with daily that are aphrodisiacs. "Seduction and Spice" is filled with sensual recipes that are as fun to read as they are to try. With a red velvet cover, decadent desserts and gourmet feasts this is a collectable cookbook like no other. Some of the recipes you may want to try include:
Marinated Tomato Salad with Garlic Croutons
Chilled Asparagus with Vinaigrette Dressing
Roasted Garlic Soup Provencal
Red Snapper with Wild Mushrooms and Asparagus
Poached Salmon with Saffron Sauce
Crispy Ginger Duck with Poached Pears
Figs in Red Wine with Mint Sabayon
Mascarpone-Mint Ice Cream with Vanilla-Lemon Syrup
Cardamon Tea Sorbet
Chocolate Truffles
Some of the recipes need ingredients like fish stock, although no recipe for stock is given. There are quite a few recipes that require expensive ingredients like lobster and saffron. To be honest this book is a culinary fantasy with sexy and suggestive sidebars filled with information for the intellectual appetite.
I found it strange to happen upon a recipe for two that required an entire rack of lamb with 8 chops. Many of the recipes serve 8-12 so you will have leftovers if you are just cooking for your lover.
The impressive cover is only topped by the page after page of tantalizing full-color pictures. I can recommend this highly for reading in bed. If you love reading cookbooks then you will find the information on avocados, mint, arugula, chives, celery, truffles, onions, peas, garlic, mushrooms, tomatoes, sesame seeds, coffee, vanilla and chocolate to be highly entertaining.
