Of all salads, the Niçoise is my all-time favorite, with its fresh butter-lettuce; its carefully cooked, beautiful green beans; its colorful contrast of halved hard-boiled eggs, ripe red tomatoes, and black olives; all fortified by chunks of tuna and freshly opened anchovies.

“Spanish Fly” Lemony Carrots with Chili Pepper & Cumin

Jackie DeKnockUpdated on October 20, 2022August 17, 2015Leave a Comment1 min read

Ahhhh carrots! It may be the shape that does it for some people, but carrots also contain vitamins that are important in hormone production.

Chili peppers do double-duty – they heat up the body, increase blood flow and cause the brain to release endorphins – the feel-good chemical. Many cultures throughout history have used peppers as an aphrodisiac. Garlic is just used for slight flavouring in this dish, another bonus is that it contains allicin, which increases blood flow. The result may be improved stamina and sexual energy. Why not love your garlic!

“Don’t Stop Believing” Molton Lava Chocolate Cakes

Jackie DeKnockUpdated on October 20, 2022August 17, 2015Leave a Comment1 min read

How can you possibly go wrong with chocolate, it’s a clear winner in this department! Pure, dark chocolate has a centuries old reputation as an aphrodisiac. Chocolate contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which stimulates the same hormone your body releases during sex. It also sparks dopamine production in the brain. Watch out, it doesn’t take much. And the added bonus with this dish is that cinnamon heats up your body and, in turn, your sex drive. Vanilla is also a mild nerve stimulant, which can enhance sexual sensation. Ginger spices things up and increases circulation and body temperature. In fact, legend says famous French courtesan Madame du Barry provided ginger to all of her lovers to increase their desire and improve their pleasure. And last but not least, red wine increases blood flow, relaxes you, and lowers inhibitions. We have all bases covered with this dish…eat two servings!
