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."
