The Grand Champion Guide to Gastronomic Ecstacy:
No book better expresses the very adult pleasures of gastronomy than Isabel Allende’s Aphrodite. A gorgeous gorging on the sensuous power of food, Aphrodite is combination memoir, encyclopedia, cookbook and myth tightly woven into all-consuming prose by one of the greatest literary minds of the modern age.
Honorable Mention:
Among the countless books exploring the romantic power of cuisine, we recommend Cooking for Mr. Latte as one of the sweetest culinary memoirs we’ve seen.
