Afrodita: Cuentos, Recetas Y Otros Afrodisíacos / Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses: Cuentos, Recetas Y Otros Afrodisíacos"Me arrepiento de los platos deliciosos rechazados por vanidad, tanto como lamento las ocasiones de hacer el amor que he dejado pasar por ocuparme de tareas pendientes o por virtud puritana, ya que la sexualidad es un componente de la buena salud, inspira la creacin y es parte del camino del alma Por desgracia, me demor treinta aos en descubrirlo".

"Me arrepiento de los platos deliciosos rechazados por vanidad, tanto como lamento las ocasiones de hacer el amor que he dejado pasar por ocuparme de tareas pendientes o por virtud puritana, ya que la sexualidad es un componente de la buena salud, inspira la creación y es parte del camino del alma... Por desgracia, me demoré treinta años en descubrirlo". --Isabel Allende

Isabel Allende despliega aquí sus poderes mágicos como cuentista y, con un encanto peculiar, entrelaza las sensuales artes de la comida y el amor, combinando recuerdos personales, folklore de todo el mundo, leyendas históricas y momentos memorables de la literatura (incluyendo la literatura erótica), con porciones similares de humor y perspicacia.

El lector es el invitado privilegiado a un banquete de hechos fascinantes sobre los poderes afrodisíacos de los alimentos y las bebidas que Isabel Allende sirve con convincente admiración y debida irreverencia. Ofrece sugerencias, tanto antiguas como modernas, para atraer a un amante, encender el ardor sexual, prolongar el acto sexual y reactivar la decadente virilidad. Y revolviendo en el caldero de la historia, nos informa sobre los apetitos lascivos de personajes memorables como el emperador Nerón, Catalina la Grande y hasta la notoria Madame du Barry de Francia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

New York Times bestselling author of The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende celebrates the pleasures of the sensual life in this rich, joyful and slyly humorous book, a combination of personal narrative and treasury of erotic lore.

Under the aegis of the Goddess of Love, Isabel Allende uses her storytelling skills brilliantly in Aphrodite to evoke the delights of food and sex. After considerable research and study, she has become an authority on aphrodisiacs, which include everything from food and drink to stories and, of course, love.

Readers will find here recipes from Allende's mother, poems, stories from ancient and foreign literatures, paintings, personal anecdotes, fascinating tidbits on the sensual art of foodand its effects on amorous performance, tips on how to attract your mate and revive flagging virility, passages on the effect of smell on libido, a history of alcoholic beverages, and much more.
An ode to sensuality that is an irresistible blend of memory, imagination and the senses, Aphrodite is familiar territory for readers who know her fiction.

Simple yet easy must have for discerning coffee drinkers
Color: Black&Silver
I seem to never get the same results from my coffee machine and it varied even more with the new brand that we just bought. I now have to make more adjustments with the water temperature, based on age, type of beans, etc. That affects the amount of ground dispensed and consistency in the shot until I get a new batch dialed in. So the only way to regulate these changes is to weigh both the beans and water. Using this little scale has made things easier, less frustrating and more predictable. What’s awesome is that it will automatically begin the timer with the first drop and stop when the pressure remains constant. Simple yet easy and super convenient. If you are looking for a great little digital scale this should do the trick. Highly recommended.

Great Digital Scale!!
Color: Black&Silver
The Maestri House S2 scale has been clutch for dialing in my espresso shots. Memphis heat or not, this thing stays accurate and steady. The timer starts up quick, the readings are fast, and the compact size fits perfectly under my Breville without feeling cramped. It’s built solid, charges by USB‑C, and the precision really shows when you’re trying to get that perfect pull.

Has fit perfectly into my morning espresso
Color: Black&Silver
This seems to me to be an excellent small kitchen scale. I am new to the complexities of espresso making and have begun using this scale every morning to measure my dose and output. It is working just fine. Easy to operate, keep clean and store. I did not give it 5 stars because I have limited comparisons but I don’t expect and will not bother looking for anything better.

Perfectly fits what I needed for my espresso habit!
Color: Black&Silver
This Maestri House mini coffee scale is a great little tool for espresso and pour-over. The size is compact enough to fit under a portafilter or cup, and the 0.1g accuracy makes dialing in coffee much easier. I like the built-in timer, rechargeable USB-C battery, and clean black-and-silver look. It feels precise, practical, and easy to keep near the espresso machine. Great value for anyone who wants more consistent coffee.

Maestro House Mini Coffee Scale
I have begun to drink tea, pu’erh tea to be specific. I have several varieties and I have had a problem with getting consistent results. The varieties can be very different in size depending on when the leaves are harvested (leaves harvested in spring are much smaller). So the easiest way to get consistent results is by weight. This scale is very easy to use with a ceramic tea scoop, set the tea scoop on the scale, zero it out and add tea leaves. This has made my results much better, without the wild swings in strength I had been getting before trying to eyeball even measures. This scale gives me accurate measurements to one tenth of a gram.
