We did a nice aphrodisiac dinner on Valentines Day, but why not in the summer when everyone is already sweaty and wearing less clothes? Plus, we have different produce available now... you can't tell me that peaches bursting with nectar aren't sensual. For this dinner, we're going to 6 different courses reflecting the bounty of fruits and vegetables that have 'aphrodisiac' qualities.
We sincerely hope to see you then!
