Apartamento Cookbook #10: Aphrodisiacs
Shipping calculated at checkout
A playful, design-forward take on aphrodisiacs—16 illustrated recipes and reflections—for cooks who enjoy ideas as much as cooking.
At 40 pages, each recipe gets a two-page spread with bold, naïve-style illustrations by Sainte Maria—whimsical linework and color that nod to children’s drawings and Matisse.
Contributors include professional cooks, food writers, and stylists from Europe and the US. The recipes are carefully composed, but the charm is in the “why”: a Dom Top Slab Pie that prizes intentionality—no compromising on the required ingredients!—saffron tortillas “for when you need to win someone back,” and an octopus ceviche that cites ancient ideas about restless desire.
This is a mood piece you can cook from: thoughtful dishes, memorable stories, and a theme that invites conversation, gifting, and a creative date-night menu. Best for readers who appreciate style and concept alongside practical, doable recipes.
Hardcover. Line drawings.
