        by AJ Orchard

        The Food and Sex book spells out all the ingredients needed for a wide range of recipes and sexipes and clearly instructs readers what to do with them for great food and sex.The aim is to encourage creative, imaginative and adventurous treatment of food and body, resulting directly in well-being; interest for old and young alike. Something for everyone.There are 149 great recipes and when all the ideas in dice sex, oral sex techniques, orgasmic challenge, sixty nine, and orgasm on demand are added up, the 34 sexipes expand to 122 super sensuous suggestions; all organised in sections.Recipes: Meat: Red & whiteFish & seafoodVegetablesSpicySalads & mini saladsOmelettesSoupsSauces & gunksCurry powdersBBQBreakfastsSexipes: ToysAu Naturel (well, mostly)TiedOn demandThe recipes and sexipes are easy to follow, with direct and explicit language leaving nothing in doubt. The essentials that should always be on hand for good food and good sex are spelled out clearly in the introduction and the photographs are helpful, sometimes erotic and suggestive, but never prescriptive or pornographic.The food part is for thoughtful cooks; people who want to cook good food, well prepared from good ingredients. From simple dishes to the more complicated; scrambled eggs in the microwave or asparagus soup with poached eggs and pancetta for breakfast, to barbequed salmon, or ray wings in saffron milk sauce for dinner. It is about good, interesting cooking; some is quick and easy, some takes longer and is more complicated.Even those 'ordinary' fall backs chili con carne and spaghetti Bolognaise are enthusiatically included as well as the 'different' aubergine and dolcelatti sandwich, and mussels poached in cider with chorizo thyme and leek.The sex part is for thoughtful lovers, which both partners will enjoy. Women might want to select their favourite sexipes for their partners to read through prior to sex or lovemaking. Men might want their partners to read through some of the light ‘bondage’ sexipes in the ‘Tied’ section to show them that it is not all about pain, sadism, and weirdness, and to ley them know what will be happening. By following the sexipes men will also be able to show they can do bondage in an erotic and loving way, not to mention use their fingers and tongues more effectively!

        Ferdinand Fox's Big Sleep

        by Karen Inglis

        A delightful rhyming picture book story about a friendly urban fox – also available as an educational App (Note: the story does not depend on the rhyme so could be translated.)  "Ferdinand Fox curled up in the sun as the church of St Mary struck quarter past one. His tummy was full, he was ready for sleep, and closing his eyes he began to count sheep..." Beautifully illustrated, this is the first of six delightful rhyming stories for age 3-5+ about Ferdinand, a kindhearted urban fox. When Peter Maceever spots Ferdinand Fox sleeping in his garden he tiptoes out to take a photo, certain that the fox will run off. However, at the click of the camera Ferdinand simply opens one eye and then goes right back to sleep - he has far more important things to do - like dream about cake and ice cream! As the story progresses, and Ferdinand continues to snore, the clock chimes from one through to five o-clock and we see Ferdinand’s favourite food through colourful dream bubbles. The story ends with Peter Maceever back looking out of his window at the end of the day: “The sun had moved down, the shadows were long, and the fox that had slept in the garden – was gone.”  Based on the true story of a fox that once slept in the author’s garden.  Other stories in the series (not yet illustrated): Ferdinand Fox and the Hedgehog Ferdinand Fox and the Lost Boy Ferdinand Fox, the Kiteens and the Alley Monster Ferdinand Fox and the Break-in Ferdinand Fox and the Close Shave
