Illus baords with design by William Webb, xiv, 192pp, index. B&W illus. Douglas is best known for his novel SOUTH WIND and for his hedonistic life-style. When he died in 1952, he left behind this small cookery book which is "full of recipes to stiffen up the sinews and summon up the blood of gentlemen who fear their ardour may be fading.." The Introduction by Graham Greene is excellent: "It is fitting that his last book should be as unserious and shameless as this collection of aphrodisiac recipes, to close a life in which he had enjoyed various forms of love.." Elizabeth David mentions the book in an essay in AN OMELETTE AND A GLASS OF WINE: "..let nobody waste his time looking into (this book) for advice on love-potions. Not once in the entire book does Norman suggest that he regards the idea of aphrodisiac recipes as anything more than a jovial diversion..the book (is) a different kind of fun..that is of reading about the spices and wines and herbs, the fruit and flowers, the snails, the truffles, the birds, animals and parts of animals which went into the cooking pots..".
