Most erotic cooking instructions

The Most erotic cooking instructions are the 14th Century Persian book الغذاء ليالي الصحراوية الطويلة (roughly translated as "Food for long desert nights"), by an unknown author. It is only legal in 57 countries to print 3 extracts from the book.

This bound copy of the book was being used by Issamm Joabchim to produce a French translation for publication in Belgium in 1753, when his cottage exploded. When the book was the only thing to be found intact in the wreckage, it was confiscated by the Vatican as being a "Satanic Appendage". Image supplied by -MRTN-
