Don’t Snore Your Way Through Another Wedding Season — This Spring Serve Up Aphrodisiacs

This May and June, Life of Reiley, publisher of “Fork Me, Spoon Me: the sensual cookbook,” teams with author Amy Reiley to offer the ultimate, sexy wedding gift. This limited edition gift set includes an autographed copy of Reiley’s critically acclaimed cookbook and a collection of sensual, aphrodisiac foods, hand-selected by Reiley from among America’s leading artisan food producers. Sensuous temptations like clover honey-drenched honeycomb from the Napa Valley, organic dried lavender sachets, the southwest’s finest chipotles and Chocolove’s premium dark chocolate bars wrapped with love poems are all part of this exclusive set.

The gourmet delights, presented in a spring planter, are perfect for inspiring an aphrodisiac herb garden. The set also includes information introducing the gourmet purveyors and tips for using their sensuous creations. Each gift is packaged to order, allowing for limited customization.

The gift is perfect for heating up the happy couple’s marital kitchen, and it makes a great bridesmaid or groomsman gift. This collection will add a culinary spark to every bachelorette celebration. Just $49.95 (plus s&h), it’s an affordable way to add sizzle to the spring.

“Aphrodisiacs have been an integral part of wedding celebrations since before recorded time,” comments Reiley, a passionate cook and Master of Gastronomy awarded by Le Cordon Bleu. “The gourmet gift we’ve created can easily be used as a jumping off point for adding the romance of aphrodisiacs to any wedding celebration.”

To incorporate culinary romance into wedding festivities Reiley suggests simple steps including:

• Give the bride’s maids a sexy boost. Add lavender, a fragrance found to be one irresistible to men, to the bridal bouquets and watch the wedding reception sparks fly.

• Toss out the parsley! Garnish the meal with orchid or rose petals, both elegant, edible flowers with subtle fragrance and flavor and long aphrodisiac histories.

• Choose a wedding cake with exotic, aphrodisiac flavors like cardamom, saffron, rosewater or cinnamon. Top the cake with a light whipped cream frosting and candied rose petals.

• Be sure to include tiny cake boxes for all the unattached ladies to take home a slice to put under their pillow. Legend has it that sleeping on a slice of wedding cake will evoke dreams of a woman’s true love.

• Skip the cake fight and instead drizzle warm honey into the bride and groom’s cupped hands. An old, Eastern European custom, the couple is to lick the honey from each other’s outstretched palms. In doing so, they discover the tenderness of caress with which they should touch each other forevermore.

• Slip the groom something “stimulating.” An age-old Indian tradition has bridegrooms drink milk flavored with chiles and almonds to guarantee sustained sexual performance.

• Although the old Jordan almond is the ultimate wedding cliché, this candy-coated party favor is the perfect parting gift for making romance. Almonds are rich in protein (key for sexual stamina) and an ancient symbol of fertility.
