Aphrodisiac

Posted by Jaide Reina Jones on Monday, June 18, 2012, In : Cajun Recipe 
Almost every culture devotes part of its folklore to sexual matters, and a popular issue has always been aphrodisiac foods. You have all heard claims that certain foods can increase your sexual libido -- but are they true?

I decided to make a small list of common foods believed to have sexually stimulating effects, even though in most cases, their effects have yet to be proven. This list is by no means incontestable, since most of the claims are not based on fact. Nevertheless, here are some f...

About Me


Jaide Reina Jones Hi there! I am a New Orleans native now living in Lake Charles! I started cooking when I was 5 years old & have loved it from that very first day. When I am on stage (in the kitchen), my accent flows as thick as gumbo roux and I toss out one-liners as easily as I toss shrimp into my big black cooking pot. My clients laugh, learn and after I'm done get to eat the “show” – a meal that could include crawfish, alligator, crab, shrimp or other justly famous Louisiana delicacies. I have served my spicy Cajun fare to senators and congressman, movie stars and music luminaries. I am available for travel but only in the U.S. I am also open to be hired on to be your Sultry Chef!! "Y'all come back now, ya hear!"
