«Afrodita» is the book of stories and recipes by Isabel Allende and Panchita Llona, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (326 pages, in Spanish).
Allende weaves cooking and eroticism from a personal and playful perspective: her own memories, folklore, historical legends, and erotic literature. She offers ancient and modern advice for attracting a lover, kindling desire, and prolonging the encounter, with recipes by Panchita Llona that turn food into a game of seduction.
The 1999 edition includes illustrations by Robert Shekter and the recipes are signed by Panchita Llona.
A read for those who want to discover Isabel Allende outside the novel, in a personal, culinary, and erotic register.
