February 12: Valentine's Day #1: Aphrodisiac recipes (chocolate desserts)
It may seem cliché but chocolate and Valentine's Day remains a popular combination! The Aztecs discovered chocolate as an aphrodisiac and gave it as a gift to prove virility. They were definitely on to something because now, we know that chocolate produces the endorphin linked to love. That makes it pretty difficult to remove chocolate from the Valentine's Day picture!
Food stylists love chocolate for its versatility. It is best known as a sweet indulgence, but it also features well in sauces and coffee. Drinking chocolate is popular all over the world. Quick appetizer recipes offer a sweet start for every meal and Dishfolio food photographers find colorful dessert spreads featuring chocolate. Rather than just buy that box of chocolates, let these online food recipes inspire you into a new Valentine's gift for your loved one!
