Valentines Aphrodisiacs Class

The Natural Epicurean is holding a speciality cooking class and bake sale on Saturday February the 14th!

APHRODISIACS - COOK TO LOVE, LOVE TO COOK
When: February 14th, 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Where: Casa de Luz - Cielo Room
Cost: $55.00 for a single attendee and only $27.50 for a friend or family member who enrolls and attends with you. $82.50 per couple.


According to The American Heritage Dictionary, "aphrodisiac" is defined as: adj: Arousing or intensifying sexual desire. noun: Something, such as a drug or food, having such an effect. [Greek aphrodisiakos, from aphrodisia, sexual pleasures, from Aphrodite.]


In this vegan and macrobiotic cooking class, we'll talk in detail about foods that are considered aphrodisiacs, but we'll also explain how presentation, ambiance, good health, and serving our partners affect our ability to arouse, to become aroused, and to fully enjoy this most delightful and precious part of our humanity. And then we'll cook and eat some delightful and sensual food.We explain that "love foods" can be divided into two categories: biochemical aphrodisiacs that have a direct physiological effect on our sex organs and the more important psychophysical group. (After all, there is no sexual organ more important than the mind.)You'll learn to cook a complete meal to delight your Valentine's Day sweetheart and then have the opportunity to taste this exceptional food.


The menu:

Artichokes with Lemon Butter
Porcini Mushroom Soup with Chestnuts
Tempeh Italiano and Toasted Pine Nuts over Seasonal Greens
Risotto Milanese (this is made with saffron)
Maple Roasted Winter Squash with Apples and Fennel
Chocolate Amaretto Mousse with Almond Tuile and Kumquats



After the class you can step outside and purchase some delightful vegan baked goods from our annual bake sale. More on what we'll be serving soon!
