the first christmas i was back in trinidad, victoria sent me a boxful of books. all the books were great but i have to say my favourite of the lot was Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses by Isabel Allende.

this is a book for anyone who enjoys the sensuality of food. in theory it’s an ‘apothecary of aphrodisiacs’, but it’s so much more, it appeals on a much more visceral level.

it’s not just the sexaulity of the book or the recipes. it’s combination of them in such an open and appreciative manner.

i’m rereading it at the moment and longing for vic in our own kitchen.
