Chocolate, oysters, grapes, chilies, coffee and basil….what do they have in common? Throughout history, each of them has been considered to be an aphrodisiac. Royalty and common folk alike have sought to captivate the persons of their desire through feeding them aphrodisiacs, or consuming aphrodisiacs in order to appease those they loved. Is there any basis to such claims? Martha Hopkins, co-author of “The New InterCourses: an aphrodisiac cookbook” says: “Historically, the qualifying factors for aphrodisiacs were relatively simple: The rare an ingredient (caviar), the more likely it held aphrodisiacal qualities. Likewise, the more an ingredient resembled a sexual organ, the stronger its power over the libido (asparagus).” In some cases, it’s more anecdotal such as black beans and pinenuts which have been considered to be symbols and sources of fertility. Black beans for instance begin to grow in a pod, eventually becoming plump and emerging ready to create yet another life. The idea that black beans produced fertility has been so strong in the past that it even led one early Latin church father to forbid consumption of black beans by the nuns! Yet in other cases modern science has shed some light on why figures such as Casanova is said to have consumed dozens and dozens of oysters in a given sitting (they are low in fat and high in zinc which is key to sexual performance for both men and women) or why Aztec emperor Montezuma consumed as many as 50 goblets of a cold bitter chocolate beverage flavored with chilies and vanilla (the caffeine of chocolate provides a surge of energy while it delivers a dose of PEA and serotonin, chilies get the heart pumpking and cause the face to go flush while making us sweat, and the scent of vanilla has been shown to produce a feeling of well-being). In both cases, they relied on these storied foodstuffs to maintain their libido. Regardless of ingredient be they rare or abundant, and putting folklore and science aside, simply taking the time and effort to prepare a delicious meal for someone special could be considered to be an aphrodisiac.

It’s not all fun and frolic—and chocolate—around here. Aside from dealing with banks that limit access to your own money, or scratching your head when the France Telecom representative tells you that it’s going to cost you a mere €465 to keep your mobile number if you change to another one of their other phone plans (although it was a stretch to even get there; his first response was, “Yes. It is not possible”), believe it or not, there are some less-than-pastoral things about life here

My friend Jo and I have started a facebook group called Raw Vegan Sumtin , as a forum for information on raw vegan diet and nutrition. The group hosted an event last year to demonstrate how to prepare a raw vegan meal- the appetiser was raw hummus with crudites, the main course was raw vegan burritos with salsa and guacamole, and the dessert was raw chocolate dipped strawberries and bananas

By guest blogger Sharon Halkovics I’ll be honest. I cooked, and baked, and tried all kinds of new and different things this past weekend but wasn’t excited to post a blog about any of these items. What won my heart this week was a simple grilled cheese sandwich. I must give two big spoons up to this grilled cheese combination that starts with nutty, smooth-melting Fontina cheese with added layers of shaved ham, arugula, and royal fig jam. I served this sandwich with a simple side salad and was in absolute palate-pleasing bliss. Coincidentally, we’ve been talking up grilled cheese a lot around the office. So much in fact, we’ve decided to add a grilled cheese class to our line up of Home Cook classes. What better way to roll out ‘Melt’ …we think it’s a great class to take with your main squeeze or a close friend. We’re pretty convinced that you’ll be hosting super-chic grilled cheese parties after you take this gooey-goodie of a class

Last week CSR owner & CEO, Joan Brett, taught a group of local 3 rd graders from Mesa Elementary a few fundamental knife skills. Joan demonstrated how to slice, dice, and chiffonade their way to making zesty, colorful gazpacho. The kids (who looked very small in the shadow of their huge chef’s knives) all learned basic lessons on how to hold their knives, proper cutting techniques and knife safety. These kids are on their way to creating some fantastic dinners for their families! Keep your eyes on our June and July calendars as we will be posting our Teen Cooking Techniques Vacations . They fill up fast, so if you have a budding teen chef eager to stir things up in the kitchen, don’t wait to reserve their space in class.
