While it might not help you get lucky with a Leo, Lobster for Leos, Cookies for Capricorns by Sabra Ricci takes a fun look at what happens to be one of the food world’s hot topics. Both Grub Street and The Huffington Post recently wrote on the perceived link between astrological sign and food preference. So if you’re one of a growing audience interested in combining your love for astrology and cuisine, this is the book for you. With a chapter dedicated to each sign, recipes include an Acai Berry Smoothie for Aries (who need “brainiac food”) and “nerve-settling” Creamy Five Onion Soup for Libras. And maybe, if you whip up some Ahi Tartare on Wonton with Wasabi Cream for that “make-the-beat-go-on” loving Leo, you might just get lucky!

a vodka blended from aphrodisiacs
February 14, 2012 By
When we heard that Hood River Distilleries was making a vodka inspired by the ancient traditional of aphrodisiacs, we were in-no questions asked! Ok, we were smart enough to stop and ask, “How does it taste?”
Packaged in a sexy, perfume industry-inspired bottle, Yazi is an invigorating blend of four types of ginger with the added complexity of cayenne, lemon, orange and red pepper. Its flavor starts out mellow and slightly acidic but slides into spicy toward the back of the palate. After a few sips, it makes the tongue tingle and lips plump from the subtle zing of spice. Although you can drink it on the rocks, the makers recommend Yazi as the base to an exciting (though mainly girlie) array of cocktails.

frangelico truffle: a sexy Valentine’s gift
January 31, 2012 By
We thought chocolate and peanut butter were the two great tastes that taste great together. But that was before Frangelico partnered with famed chocolatier Marie Belle to create the Frangelico truffle. The hazelnut liqueur-infused, premium chocolates come in Marie Belle’s signature, chic burgundy and blue boxes, perfect for making any girl (or guy) feel special. Present someone with this potent box of aphrodisiacs as a gesture of love and you will hopefully have a sure thing on your hands!
Frangelico truffles can be ordered from Marie Belle and are available at select department stores nationwide.
soup is good food
January 25, 2012 By
Soup can be sexy. It warms the body when we need it most. And its often loaded with ingredients great for the libido. But soup takes time to make. Soup from a can, however, is not an aphrodisiac experience. That’s why we’ve gotten into New England Country Soup’s all-natural, ready-to-serve soups in two serving pouches. The soup comes in a variety of flavors including Yankee White Bean, Sweet Chicken Curry, Clam Chowder and a super spicy rendition of Caribbean Black Bean (which is probably our sexy favorite). The soups don’t beat homemade but after a long day they can taste just as satisfying. Best of all, the company has an Eat Well, Do Good program. They will donate $1 to one of three American charities for every proof of purchase their customers submit. This soup is truly good food!
