Do
aphrodisiacs work? What exactly are they? How can I use them? We answer these
questions and many more during the Simple Sexy Food virtual tour with clinical
sex therapist and foodie – Linda De Villers, PhD. There are many ordinary foods
that can have aphrodisiac effects – and we’re going to help you understand
them.
A Message From Linda De Villers PhD
I created this book to
help you enjoy the remarkable relationship between food and sex. These two themes
run brightly through my own life both personally and professionally, and are
inseparable from my sense of who I am. Having counseled and taught thousands of
people on the loving arts, and having fed nearly as many in my kitchens over
the years, I find myself in a state of barely contained excitement over the
opportunity to share what I know with you. I am the only author in this field
to be credentialed in both sexual health and food, having worked and presented
internationally and conducted research on the joint topic over the course of my
career.

About Simple Sexy Food –
Simple Sexy Food is an aphrodisiac cookbook like no other. Honest and
direct, detailed and informative, it’s packed with exclusive recipes, food and
sex tips, descriptions and histories of ingredients and even survey data about
what food people find sexy. And it’s the only aphrodisiac cookbook written by a
clinical sex therapist who also happens to be a foodie!
Cassanova
relished the food and meals that accompanied and enhanced his love affairs: he
recorded the sensual delight of special meals with his conquests; for him, food was the food of love. Why should it
be different for the rest of us? Food and love, two things that sustain us
physically and spiritually, have long been associated, and most of us, have a
delicious memory or two of when the combination produced a moment that was
nothing less than magical. With the right person, preparing and sharing a meal
can be a turn-on: intimate, caring, and sensual. The rituals of cooking and
dining together can cook up erotic possibilities and create intimacy and
romance for all of us. Linda De Villers is a passionate cook who has traveled
the world. In Simple Sexy Food, she
combines her culinary knowledge with 20 years of experience as a sex and
relationship expert to create a sensual self-help guide to help all couples
have more magical moments in—and out—of the kitchen.
What are the
essential ingredients for a romantic, sensual meal? Food that is luscious and
that is especially appealing to all the senses is important; meals are truly
“aphrodisiac” when they are experienced as a feast of sensual delights. But for
many couples, time—not exotic ingredients—is the ultimate luxury. Getting in
the mood for love requires relaxation and setting aside a moment when we can
leave workday concerns aside; a little intention—whether it’s a saucy surprise
or a seductive invitation—coupled with the pleasure of a special meal that
appeals to all the senses can spark moments of intimacy that create all the
excitement of spontaneous ones. For couples who have been together for some
time, those moments can create even more intimacy, sensuality, and fun.
In its
approach and philosophy, Simple Sexy
Food is surprisingly simple: Eating together regularly is one factor that
significantly contributes to the emotional closeness lovers experience with
each other. And in today’s economy, romantic dining-out budgets are shrinking;
there’s no better time to get couples in the kitchen, cooking up romance at
home. In Simple Sexy Food, Dr. De
Villers gives readers simple, fresh, modern recipes for seductive meals, small
bites, and drinks, as well as fun, imaginative, and non-intimidating
suggestions that will give even shy cooks and would-be seducers more confidence
in the kitchen and the bedroom.
Simple Sexy Food redefines aphrodisiacs. In her work
as a sex therapist and professor, Dr. De Villers has conducted extensive
studies of current attitudes towards aphrodisiacs and the kinds of foods and
meals that put modern readers in the mood. While classic aphrodisiac
ingredients like oysters, pomegranates, and artichokes are provocative to the
palate and the imagination, the most highly-rated romantic foods are simply
delectable “passions”—luscious, suggestive foods for romance like
chocolate-covered strawberries. Sushi and pasta rate highly, too, and for good
reason: sushi may not be a traditional aphrodisiac, but it’s light, sensual,
and undeniably sexy. In Simple Sexy Food,
timeless aphrodisiac ingredients are highlighted and employed in modern
recipes, but what sets Simple Sexy Food
apart from other aphrodisiac cookbooks is an equal emphasis on simply delicious
foods and meals that will please your partner.
Simple Sexy Food is a first: an aphrodisiac cookbook
written by a relationship expert. It will provide ideas and recipes for both
weeknight cooking and special occasions. On the recipe pages, it will serve up
tantalizing anecdotes from her extensive surveys on how a sensual meal created
a romantic moment between lovers and offer sexy serving suggestions. Because
Dr. De Villers is a well-known sex therapist, it will also provide a little
hand-holding—empowering advice from an expert on how to kick up your confidence
a notch in the kitchen and the bedroom. Simple
Sexy Food will educate and inspire readers by offering tips for making
readers feel sexy before they begin, give serving tips for spicing things up
romantically, and give inspiring scene and scenario setting ideas for creating
truly delicious moments.
