Product Description

"Sex and the City" meets Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver in this delicious combination of love, sex and the art of eating. This is the ultimate book for all those with an appreciation for the mouth-wateringly scrumptious, both in the kitchen and the bedroom. "Sex and the City" means the culinary goddess within, in this delicious offering on love, sex and the art of eating. Alexandra Antonioni argues that food plays a significant role in the seduction and binding of individuals, and offers a collection of musings, anecdotes, quotes and recipes to enhance the smooth path of love. Alexandra takes us on a journey through the highs and lows of modern day relationships in terms of food, from first date encounters to the inevitable tv dinners. She extols the virtues of love, sex and food whilst providing menus, relationship advice and personal anecdotes on various love-related subjects. We now live in a world of serial but temporary monogamy, where a smorgasbord of endless possibility exists, where a broken heart is no longer terminal but easily and endlessly restorable, rejuvenated and reinvented with the helping hand of a culinary masterpiece or two. Today we seek not so much Mr. Right as Mr. Right Now. Thus each relationship can be argued to exist somewhere in: "The Beginning", "The Middle", and " The End". Each stage is described by Alexandra in humorous and toe-curlingly familiar detail, coupling the well-know art of love with the less well-known art of culinary bliss, offering advice, experiences and menus not just for the seduction dinner (Beginning) or the comfort food zone (End), but a delicious selection of post-coital snacks, lazy Sunday breakfasts and morning after brunches for all those stages in between.

'A sizzling page-turner that's neither a cookbook nor a love story, but should add some spice to your sex life.' **** Star Mag

The Independent
'whisks would-be temptresses through the key stages of a relationship by pairing intimate situations with select recipes.'

Daily Record
'a quirky treat, sitting somewhere between a guide to serial monogamy and a cookbook for the sensuous.'

Customer Reviews

eat me
Really enjoyed this book, a lighthearted look at the modern relationship, it made me laugh and i had a few deja vu moments about my own past relationships. The menus are gorgeous without being too complicated i loved the seduction dinners and the comfort foods at the end. I'll keep this book in the kitchen for when the urge to cook kicks in.

Yummy...
'Eat Me' explores the link between romance, sex and love in relationships, but only in a really good humoured and playful way. It includes recipes and menus to seduce a potential mate; what to eat for breakfast if you've only arrived home in the early hours of the morning; menus crammed full of aphrodisiacs to ensure the most intersting of nights and what to eat to mend your broken heart.

Some of the anecdotes in this book are really funny, I particularly liked the chapters on terrible dates, what best to eat at 4am and the perfect post-coital brunch.

Kind of like '9 and a half weeks' but with a sense of humour!

She seduced me....
I guess as a man I wasnt Alexandra's intended audience, but I thouroughly enjoyed discovering some of the secrets of a master seductress, I hope I get the opportunity to be on the recieving end of them sometime. I loved the gentle innuendo and perceptive analysis of the journey from being in lust to the end game.
