I don’t think Valentine’s dessert should be heavy and elaborated.
I do think Valentine’s dessert should be delightful… and aphrodisiac, of course!

Honeymoon is where lovers begin their love life.
Most cultures use her as main restorative for health and for a healthy love life.
Attila died because of a heart attack: on his wedding day he drank a fatal quantity of hydromel to prepare himself for the coming, very intense, first night (poor thing!).
Cleopatra (the most aphrodisiac woman in history!) used to take care of her wonderful skin with a very natural moisturizing cream: ground almonds mixed to honey.
Yes madams and messieurs, this is all Isabel Allende taught me about honey (I’m in the Afrodita project at the moment). And this is how it conquered me enough to make me opt for this wonderful Valentine’s dessert! —Claudia | Gourmet Project
