Sounds like an interesting read. Always interesting to learn about food and sex and how they go together.
Nice cover.

Thanks. I love the cover, too. Really lucked out!
Hi Laurie,
In the book, there are many aphrodisiacs highlighted. Some of them are mushrooms that grows only in Hawaii, durian, ginseng, truffles. Saffron is not the only aphrodisiac in the book, but it is the most important one because it involves a key plot point. I’ve done some writing on my blog about researching aphrodisiacs and have even started a food “porn” column there. So check it out sometime, My next book CRAVINGS has a chocolate theme and is set in the tropics around cacao plantations and so on. So I am still writing about those aphrodisiacs.
Best Regards,
Liz
Thanks for the information Liz. A food “porn” column sounds like fun. I will definitely have to check it out.
Cravings…with a chocolate theme sounds fun.
Thanks, Laurie, for everything.
Interesting interview!
Thanks so much for having me here today. Cheers!
It’s my pleasure Liz.
I’d love to hear more about your research on aphrodisiacs. What other foods besides saffron have been used for the aphrodisiac properties?
I like to cook but can’t remember ever using saffron in anything. I do remember reading that saffron is expensive.
What can you tell us about saffron, aphrodisiacs, your research?
Why’d you choose saffron to be the aphrodisiac focus of this book?
thank you for hosting
