«Afrodita: cuentos, recetas y otros afrodisíacos» is a book of short stories and recipes by Isabel Allende in paperback (Planeta-De Agostini, 323 pages).
In Afrodita, Isabel Allende starts from a confession: she regrets the dishes rejected out of vanity and the occasions for making love that were let pass. From there she celebrates the relationship between food and desire through stories, recipes, personal reflections and illustrations, and presents sexuality as a component of health, inspiration for creation and part of the soul's path.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Isabel Allende collection and includes recipes by Panchita Llona and color illustrations by Robert Shekter.
For readers of Isabel Allende and for those who enjoy literature that combines gastronomy, memory and eroticism.
