Love food

The much used adage 'the way to a man's heart is through his stomach,' has been given a full turn in the Recipes for the Kamasutra. The philosophy that guides these recipes aims to bring sex straight into the kitchen, and expects to entice both men and women through aphrodisiacal ingredients and sensual food art.

The author, Komal Taneja, has conducted a foraging tour, searching out a variety of ingredients that tantalise the libido through external and internal stimulation. From innocuous fruits like the phallic banana, or the fleshy peach, to the various chilies and spices, the making of these recipes is aimed to evoke the cry of desire right from the onset.

The preludes to the recipes include text passages that arouse the senses even before the reader gets to the ingredients. And if that's not good enough, pictures from the real Kamasutra are thrown in to ensure that no leaf is left unturned in making the time spent in the kitchen as sensual as the journey post prandial.
The 60-odd recipes themselves look curiously different, yet captivating, and easy to prepare.

Divided by courses, they can be made for any hour of the day.
Between the pictures of the Kamasutra and the exotic food photography by Shailan Parker, the book is designed to make the gastronomical juices as well as the blood flowing. You may want to display it on your coffee table, but the kitchen (or the bedroom) may actually be the best permanent place for it.
