"lovers" news and stories

All it takes is a plate or chocolate covered strawberries, or perhaps a spoonful of honey, to cast aside any doubts that food can be sexy. The Seduction Cookbook: Culinary Creations For Lovers is a cookbook that is all about making sexy, sensual meals for two. I think you can guess what holiday it night come in handy for, although it could certainly be a welcome addition of a little spice to any cookbook collection, as well.

The book starts with an introduction to "seduction cooking" and a few guidelines for preparing for your meal outside of the kitchen (what to wear, etc.). Once into the recipes, they cover everything from appetizers and salads to main courses, sides and dessert. And, should your evening go well, there are recipes for late-night snacks and "morning after" breakfasts, as well. Recipes include Endive, Orange and Fennel Salad, Baked Salmon with Raspberry Cabernet Sauce, Honeydew with Rosemary Syrup and French Toast You Can Sink Your Teeth Into. Author Diane Brown has put as much thought into serving the recipes as preparing them, and shares some insight on making the dining experience as pleasurable as possible - and not in the same way that a second slice of cake is a pleasure, although she certainly thinks you'll be just as satisfied.

When a phone call or e-mail isn't as intimate as you would like, there is a new technology that will allow you to share a drink with a loved one - no matter how great the physical distance between you two: glowing wine glasses. The glasses were designed by researchers at MIT. When one glass of a pair is picked up, its matching glass gives off a red glow. When lips are pressed to one glass, presumably while drinking, the partner glass glows brightly. The glasses contain liquid sensors and wireless links that trigger the light-emitting diodes.
