When Food & Sex Collide / by Cynthia Catera

It's all fun and games...and cooking, until someone throws in the sex. But wait, with all the food prep, and sharp objects, it's this dangerous?!!! Well thank god "Sex on the Table" is only an expression. Ran by Chef Fed, a contestant of Chopped, the focus of the class evolves around aphrodisiac foods, such as red wine, strawberries, grapefruit, and mangos. We were taught several knife skills, pairings, and plate presentation. And my favorite part of cooking, besides the eating, is the great company in which it accompanies.
