A few years back I received the book, The New InterCourses: An Aphrodisiac Cookbook.  The book is beautiful to look at and gives a number of recipes you can create in your kitchen using foods with aphrodisiac properties.  While the book is currently buried in a stack of unpacked boxes in my garage (tell me this happens to everyone who moves?), if you know the best foods to stimulate your sex life, you can create your own fun recipes, too.

Aphrodisiac foods contain essential nutrients that help your body function its best, facilitating peak sexual performance.  As a bonus, they may help increase your desire and raise your libido.  The great news is that many of these foods may be staples in your kitchen already.  Check out this roundup of aphrodisiac foods, and get yourself cooking!  At the very least, whipping up a romantic dinner for your partner is one way to get him or her in the mood.
