Author Notes
Valentine’s Day 2015, in GP’s kitchen, will be all about aphrodisiac food, recipes and inspiration!
I recovered Isabel Allende’s book “Aphrodite” and I am going to go all through it: it’s a beautiful, fun and elegant book about food & love, perfect for a foodie’s Valentine, don’t you think?
