Full Description
There's a reason caviar has a reputation as a love food, but a little vanilla or peppermint can work wonders too. You'll savour mushrooms like never before after experiencing their intuition-raising effects, and a munch of celery will resonate with new meaning as it boosts your sexual desire and psychic awareness. Change any area of your life when you select food for its magical energy and eat it with a specific goal in mind. This is food magic and it's served up here in spoonfuls of lore and fact.
