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.
