Venus in the Kitchen - Softcover
A collection of exotic and aphrodisiac recipes of varying complexity both for the kitchen and bedroom. Some are drawn from ancient Greece and Rome, some from hearsay and some, it seems, from trial and error.

About the Author:
Norman Douglas is the author of classics such as SOUTH WIND and OLD CALABRIA. He lived in Capri ( and in fact immortalised it in his books) for many years and died there in 1952. VENUS IN THE KITCHEN was published posthumously in the same year and became a cult classic.
Review:
'It is fitting, I think, that his last book should be as unserious and shameless as this collection of aphrodisiac recipes. With its air of scholarship, its blend of the practical and the wildly impractical, the crispness of its comments, this book will be one of my favourite Douglas's.' - Graham Greene
