Hardcover book by Isabel Allende entitled «Aphrodite – A Celebration of the Senses». 
“I cannot separate eroticism from food, and I see no reason why I should, quite the contrary.”
Aphrodite is a testament to pure joie de vivre. Under the sign of the goddess of love, Isabel Allende opens up a true “celebration of the senses” to us. Playfully, exuberantly and cheekily, she praises the pleasures of bed and table, introduces us to the world of delights and recounts her highly personal experiences in this seemingly inexhaustible field.
The volume brings together erotic stories from the Orient and the Occident, evocative images, poems and anecdotes, as well as poetic descriptions of the aphrodisiac effects of scents and spices. It also includes a wealth of tested and daring recipes by the great chef Panchita, who is none other than Isabel Allende’s biological mother.
