On Food and Sensuality
“Never trust a woman who doesn’t like to eat. She is probably lousy in bed.”
This quote has been attributed to Italian director Federico Fellini. However, the source isn’t important — it’s the principle that matters. Implicit in its message is an understanding of how reverence for the act of eating can reveal the most sensual secrets of a female.
I am often amused at the reaction I get by expressing how closely food and sensuality are related. During a recent cooking class, I was enamored with the sight and texture of a decadent custard we had just prepared. As I drizzled the pearlescent yellow cream over a dish of succulent strawberries, I couldn’t help but to comment aloud, “This, right here, is sex on a plate.” There were some puzzled looks.
A few minutes later our chef instructor made a comment that was seemingly unrelated, but struck at the root of my sense of joy. Upon observing the creation of the dishes before us, he passionately exclaimed, “What else can satisfy you on so many levels?” Those who understood the connection offered me a conspiratorial smile. At that moment I knew which of the people in the room were expert lovers.
Think about it for a moment: eating and sex may be the only two acts that evoke all of man’s senses simultaneously.

Thank you, Steve.
Without your genius and vision, I would not have created a podcast. Or the world’s first food podcast channel. On iTunes. The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world…are the ones who do. You did, and for that I thank you.
My Favorite Ice Cream…
…in the whole wide universe. July is ice cream month, so when I’m feeling overheated and need a little something, I break out my ice cream maker. This recipe was created during our first year of The Gilded Fork, crafted by Donna Marie Desfor. The basil and orange combination is like sunshine screaming in your [...]
Gluten-Free: One Year Later
One year ago I went gluten-free in an effort to get my fibromyalgia symptoms under a semblance of control. After asking my online community for holistic approaches, I’ve received tremendous support from NFCA and the gluten-free community at large. What a wonderful, loving group of people you all are.
What I Learned in 2010
As the year draws to a close, I’m in a vastly different place than I thought I would be. That’s good news.
