A tantalising menu to get you in the mood for Valentine’s day, put together by our resident love-doctor, Emily...
Tomato, Basil and Avocado Bruschetta
Basil stimulates sex drive, boosts fertility and increases circulation. Plus, the smell of it is said to be irresistible to men, though we’re not suggesting you switch perfumes! Avocado is rich in vitamins D and E, which help the body release energy, so you’ll have more stamina for the bedroom!
Oysters, Smoked Salmon or Caviar
These exotic tastes are not just impressive, but extremely rich in zinc which stimulates testosterone production to improve sexual potency in men. Testosterone is also thought to increase libido in women.
Char Grilled Green and White Asparagus Bundles Wrapped in Serrano Ham and Honey Laced Figs with Shaved Truffles
Truffles are considered to arouse the palate and body, whilst figs were celebrated by ancient Greeks in a frenzied copulation ritual. Asparagus is rich in potassium, vitamin A and vitamin E which boosts your sex drive and is needed to create sex hormones.
Raspberries, Strawberries and Rose Champagne
Red is the colour of passion and these tasty treats are also high in Vitamin C. Rose champagne is also known as the drink of love. Drunk in moderation, it lowers inhibitions, heightens sensations and creates a warming glow.
Basil White Chocolate Mousse
Chocolate contains a mild sedative which lowers inhibitions and acts as a stimulant to increase activity and desire for physical contact. It was apparently banned from monasteries for this very reason, centuries ago!
