The sex life of food is a delightful panorama about how our two strongest urges, food and sex, work with one another in surprising ways. Facts and ideas, lavishly flavoured with humour, lead from one observation to another. "Food is Love," writes Crumpacker. "If cooking is foreplay, eating is making love, and doing the dishes is the morning after." A few of the topics that will make readers hunger for "The Sex Life Of Food" include: Food as politics; Choosing the first bite; Cooking as seduction; Aphrodisiacs; The sensuality of the mouth; Jack's magic beanstalk; and Sex in the kitchen - literally and metaphorically.
