Apartamento Cookbook #8: Tuber, or Not Tuber?

For the 10th anniversary of Apartamento Cookbooks, we’re delighted to bring you Cookbook #10: APHRODISIACS. Seductively illustrated by Sainte Maria, and filled with 16 recipes from lovers, ex-lovers, and food lovers from around the world, this volume unravels the obscure, the historical, the deeply personal, and the brand new world of aphrodisiacs.

Forget the clichés—this isn’t your usual chocolate-and-oyster story. Instead, sip a rosewater and cherry cocktail to mend a broken heart, fry up spiced plantains to keep it warm, test your luck with a steamy mussel game for date night, or pull apart a pavlova to divine whether he loves you or loves you not. Romantic, playful, shy, obsessive, enduring—every dish is proof that love never looks the same twice.

A decade of culinary antics has taken us from Winter Soups to decadent Cakes and Desserts to Sandwiches! (now back in print and ready for your kitchen). With APHRODISIACS, we invite you to yearn, to confess, to make a mess, and to never apologise for wanting more.

Featuring: Alessandro Giannatempo, Anna Archibald & Kevin Serai, Chuck Cruz & Hailee Catalano, Don Cabbage, Flora Manson, Gloria Kabe, Helena Fradera, Jamie Lee, Kitty Coles, Lila Steinkampf, Mehreen Karim, Mia H., Rosie Kellett, Stephanie Stamatis, Sydney Lynn Carlson, and Yukiyasu Kaneko.

About the illustrator: Sainte Maria is a Russian-born artist and illustrator whose hand-painted works have earned international acclaim and collaborations with global brands. Influenced by naïve art, children’s drawings, and Matisse, her practice blends graphic design, minimalist abstraction, and elements of Asian traditional art and Scandinavian design, creating a world that is at once pure, whimsical, and sophisticated.

We will donate 20% of the profits generated by this book to American Near East Refugee Aid (ANERA), a non-governmental organisation that helps refugees and neglected communities in Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan.
