"If food and sex are valued parts of your life, or if you’d like to make them more so, what you might need is a bit of inspiration, along with good information. This cookbook is designed to help stimulate and satisfy your creative appetites and get your home fires burning", writes Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Diplomate and Clinical Supervisor in Sex Therapy with the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists, Linda De Villers, Ph.D., in her delightful and engaging book Simple Sexy Food: 101 Tasty Aphrodisiac Recipes and Sensual Tips to Stir Your Libido and Feed Your Love. The author shares equal helpings of romantic advice and the delectable dishes to set the mood, and offers the easy and enjoyable recipes for sexy meals and love charmed evenings.

Linda De Villers understands the intimate relationship between food and love, and provides the background to this wonderful pairing. The author demonstrates how love making goes beyond the boudoir and extends to all aspects of the couple's lives together. In this case, sharing the joys of cooking and enjoying the tasty appetizers, entrees and desserts, leads naturally to further explorations of love in the bedroom. Linda De Villers presents recipes that are almost effortless to prepare, but which pamper the lovers as they savor the creations. The author reveals how the simplest of ingredients and effortless preparation work together to allow even the busiest of couples time to revel in both the culinary and the intimate arts.



Linda De Villers, Ph.D. (photo left) recognizes that different times of day require different attention to the menu and the needs of the couple. The author shares recipes that work for breakfast, for a pleasurable lunch, and an intimate dinner. Linda De Villers presents reasons and solutions for the different moods and necessities of each dining experience. For the author, the experience includes not only the food and its preparation, but also the setting the environment and election of attire for the occasion.

Linda De Villers provides a multi-faceted approach to the deep and personal relationship between food and love, and shares tips and advice for every aspect of the occasion. The author presents the idea of expressing love and personal attachment through food selection, shared preparation, the enjoyment of dining together, and for establishing a mood that leads to enriching the relationship. The author touches the following areas of food and shared intimacy:

* Introduction to simple and sexy food
* Aphrodisiac food history lore and facts
* Tease me anytime: Appetizers, soups, salads, quickies
* Daytime is the right time: Breakfast, lunch, brunch, afternoon delight
* Love feasts, or dine-in, or dine-on: sit down dinners, pampering your lover, complete meals
* Late night rendezvous: Desserts, drinks, and more
* Accoutrements: Kitchen, boudoir
* Resources: Kitchen, boudoir

For me, the power of the book is how Linda De Villers skillfully intertwines the joys of sharing the preparation and eating of an romantic meal, with the enhancement of an intimate relationship between lovers. The author creates a complete guide to sharing all things romantic, and offers the additional insight that all things couples share together are part of making love together. As a recipe book, Linda De Villers presents the complete guide to easy and fun to prepare dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and every meal for in between. Love can be expressed and shared in the arrangement and preparation of a breakfast in bed, a quick and snappy lunch, or a long, slow and smouldering dinner.

The author offers the additional dimension of fun and laughter, both of which are all too often forgotten, by today's time challenged couples. By slowing down, and sharing an appetizer and a glass of wine, as the ingredients are transformed into tasty and love building meals, the couple creates even more intimacy through the additional connection. The kitchen can heat up a meal, and build a roaring fire from a romantic flame. This book puts the elements of food and love together in a sure fire recipe for cooking in the boudoir as well as the kitchen.

I highly recommend the enjoyable and intimate relationship enhancing book Simple Sexy Food: 101 Tasty Aphrodisiac Recipes and Sensual Tips to Stir Your Libido and Feed Your Love by Linda De Villers, Ph.D., to any couples seeking a playful and idea filled guide to stirring up some enjoyable recipes together, enjoying the delights of a shared dining experience, and for adding more spice to their love life. This book will have couples cooking together in mre ways than one.
