An Asian-inspired feast spices up December's
chill, not to mention adding a punch of amatory flare.
Common ingredients like fresh ginger, savory seafood,
and stimulating cilantro add inspiration to romantic
encounters. A lively shrimp soup with hints of lemongrass
and chili provides cold comfort and a libido boost,
while ginger-spiked dumplings peak both palate and
carnal appetite. Spices like cinnamon and anise make
the season sing and taste buds ring.
Add exotic flare with a table decorated
in red and gold, set with chopsticks for dining, or
offering your loved one a seductive bite. After your
appetite is sated, treat your mate to a pot of jasmine
tea, lovingly poured for each other in true Asian
form.
Make your holidays salty and sweet, naughty and nice,
with a little persuasion of the Orient.
