InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook is a 1997 cookbook written [1] by Martha Hopkins and Randall Lockridge [2] with photography by Ben Fink, and published by Terrace Publishing. [3]
It focuses primarily on recipes and foods appropriate for romantic settings and seduction, covering traditionally sexually-associated foods such as chocolate, strawberries, oysters, honey, and avocados, as well as less-traditional foods such as pine nuts, coffee, and chiles. [4] The recipes are illustrated with numerous personal stories interviewed for each edition and extensive, non-explicit erotic photography.
The book was followed by another edition entitled The New InterCourses, [5] which was released in 2007 circa the tenth anniversary of the book. [6]
Both books have received extensive media coverage, including The New York Times, Food Network, CNN, The Splendid Table, Los Angeles Times, [2] and many others. The original edition was given a 1997 Firecracker Alternative Book Award. [7]
In total, InterCourses has sold more than 325,000 copies, as well as foreign rights to England and Australia.[ citation needed ]
