Publisher's Note
"Me apprepiento de los platos deliciosos rechazados por vanidad, tanto como lamento las ocasiones de hacer el amor que he dejado pasar por ocuparme de tareas pendientes o por virtud puritana", ya que "la sexualidad es un componente de la buena sauld, inspira la creatcion y es parte del camino del alma...Por desgracia, me demore treinta anos en descubrirlo".

Isabel Allende has always been obsessed with what enhances the passionate life. With Afrodita, a combination of personal narrative and treasury of erotic lore, she becomes an authority on aphrodisiacs, which include everything from food and drink to stories and, of course, love. Here, readers will discover recipes from Allende's mother, poems, stories from ancient and medieval literature, paintings, fascinating tidbits on the sensual art of food, tips on how to attract one's mate, passages on the effect of smell on the libido, and more. Thanks to the author's extraordinary story-telling powers and naughty sense of fun, the marriage of sex and food works to make this book a compelling and singular reading experience. -- Allende is one of the most beloved and bestselling authors in the Spanish-speaking world today. -- Allende will continue to do radio, TV, and print publicity in Spanish, aimed directly at the Spanish-speaking population in North America, which will help sales of Afrodita in paperback.

Industry Reviews
"[A] lighthearted blend of memories, recipes and research on aphrodisiacs is a celebration of the senses and a testament to her recovery....[I]ncludes recipes by Ms. Allende's mother....[A] playful, practical guide that shuns the exotic and focuses on ingredients that can be found in most grocery stores."
Wall Street Journal - Elizabeth Bukowski (03/20/1998)

"Much of the book is derivative and on too many occasions just factually wrong....In the second half of 'Aphrodite', Allende is more persuasive as she...explores her private storehouse of food and romantic memories. The book is lavishly produced, well translated...and includes a fun compendium of aphrodisiac recipes..."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Diane Ackerman (04/26/1998)

"An elegant grandmother ponders the erotic side of food and the most delicious aspects of eros....The tales and anecdotes she offers whet the appetites; and her tidbits of erotic lore are food at least for thought, and perhaps more....Illustrations, tastefully sensual, are provided by Robert Schechter. Peden's translation has verve and immediacy."
Holt
