PRODUCT: 5 Courses of Romance: The Ultimate Valentine's
Aphrodisiac Menu
CLIENT: Axka.com
MEDIUM: Blog/Article Entry
Copy Excerpt: Cooking a romantic dinner for your Valentine is always a fun
surprise but why not ensure a memorable night (and cozy morning) using
ingredients that suit the occasion. I’m talking about 5 courses of Aphrodisiacs!
Whether you’re looking to stroke the flames of desire or wanting to rekindle the
romance, try out these recipes expertly curated from Good Housekeeping UK,
Handbag, and Fridge Check.
HOT AND SOUR PORK SOUP
Start off the night by turning up the temperature literally and figuratively with
this hot and spicy course. Red chilies are said to be full of a chemical called
capsaicin which stimulates circulation and nerve endings. Give your Valentine
that warm and tingly feeling with this fiery pork soup.
QUEEN OF HEARTS TARTS
This seafood appetizer course shows your Valentine exactly how much you love
them. Salmon is an amazing source of protein which is essential for good
stamina. Wink. More importantly, If Salmon is a natural source of Omega 3s,
which is good for overall health and for higher serotonin levels and vitamins that
boost the libido. As an added detail, shape these tarts as hearts to show your
affection.
NUDE (Raw) OYSTERS WITH THREE SAUCES
These legendary aphrodisiacs are best served nude…Take those instructions
how you will but for a more potent effect, serve oysters raw. Oysters are filled
with zinc which increases testosterone levels, the fuel to the libido engine. If
the thought of eating something raw scares you, research which oysters are
right for your palate as they differ in size and taste. Shucking can also be a tricky
affair so either thoroughly study techniques and practice or leave it to an expert.
While purists will insist on using only lemon and Tabasco, here are recipes for
three sauces that perfectly flavour this essential course.
CHICKEN AND MANGO STIR FRY RECIPE
Now for the Pièce de résistance. Supercharge the night with this potent
Aphrodisiac-rich main course. Boasting ginger, garlic and chilli, this stir fry
recipe will trigger a tidal wave of mood boosting endorphins and increase your
heart rate. Hopefully you can make it to dessert once you set off this love bomb.
MOCHA VELVET CREAM POTS
Make room for dessert to punctuate your night. You definitely can’t go wrong
with chocolate and these Mocha Velvet Cream Pots are super simple to boot.
So don’t worry if you’re not the Iron Chef, use this decadent dessert to show off
your culinary chops. Best of all, chocolate increases dopamine levels which are
the hormone responsible for pleasure. The other ingredient is coffee which
stimulates blood flow. Finally, crank up the romance and feed them to each
other. Add these 3 elements together and you’ve got the perfect ending to your
Valentine’s dinner.
