I have to write…I have to get this boiling pot of passion off the stove and into a strainer! I can’t believe that the scrumptious word PROVOCATIVE escaped me! It was never invited onto the ruby red, satin sheets of my torrid love affair with everything wine and cuisine, until now. This handsome word is so powerful and still subtle, sophisticated and sensual; so much like the friend who used it when describing my blog.
Provocative is defined as suggestive, tempting, stimulating, exciting, inviting, sexy, arousing, seductive, alluring and tantalizing. I secretly want to believe my friend thinks that I am provocative too….shhh
I am captivated by cuisine, wine and tonight by the word provocative. I love being rapt; it ignites such a fire in me. Being spellbound is exhilarating and reminds me of the early stages when we flirt in a relationship. I think of those first glances, taking in the scent's and aromas of each other, privately our hearts are racing, distracted with thoughts of griping passion, ongoing glances to each other with naughty intentions...an arousing menu that demands your attention, a masterpiece of foie in my mouth (ohhhh Jason at Crush Seattle you make me melt), the shared passion when having a 10 course meal with a chef, a power play in love making, a solo or shared moment of intoxicating pleasure…it's all so intense and is really endless for me. I just close my eyes and I go there, where I hope you are right now while reading my blog. It's all so satisfying and delicious...so satisfying, right?
Intimacy is like that, it is so private and yet you want to share it, you want it to be understood… we all want to be understood.
We all have triggers that ignite our sensuality and I have realized how much I love Foie and that something about the possibilities of this dish drives me wild...it provokes passion in my soul. I will be exploring this erotic obsession I have with Foie Gras; stand by darlings for all the provocative details.

If you were the passion behind a Chef…
I have been curious about something. Do you think that a Chef is as seductive in love making as they are in the kitchen? I can’t help but ponder over this as I've never torn up sheets with a Chef, yet I feel like they are making love to me when I taste their food…such enormous pleasure and without a single touch. Mmmm… Ok, I need to stay on track.
Think about the time that a Chef spends planning, tasting, scrutinizing and preparing a dish and how critical this diligence is to the outcome. So what if they were equally devoted in their lovemaking…what if any lover was that devoted to pleasing you. Let’s see the sights of this delicious idea.
We'll switch out food with your body and make you the passion behind a Chef.
Imagine he can’t sleep at night because all he can think about is how he is going to please you more the next day. He drills himself on what he could he have done differently that would have satisfied you more, drove you more crazy. He wakes with fiery passion to thrill you tonight, considering all his skills and knowledge, he starts devising a plan. All the details are being created in his head, he knows how to arouse you; he knows exactly what to do. But instead of doing that same thing over and over again, he is a willing slave to creating new techniques and combinations; he wants to be unmatched and inventive in his craft. He has studied you; he has spent hours perfecting his skills. His passion to drive you wild has consumed him. He is determined to be the greatest and will work tirelessly to be successful at it. He is confident and eager; willing to go to battle to be the “Best”. He is addicted to you.
If you showed up in his kitchen, his hands would gently inspect your body, caressing all your textures. No part of you would be overlooked; scrutiny is essential to a great Chef. Gently, but with intent, he would come in closer, closing his eyes and take in your scent. Once he knows that you are indeed ready, he seductively begins his craft. A great Chef will never rush through making a dish; he waits and more importantly, he knows when every component is exactly where it needs to be. He’ll wait and tirelessly develop his creation until it reaches perfection. You’re not exactly sure what’s next, but you know he has a plan and that your body is about to ignite.
Is this only in the kitchen or does it translates into their bedroom? Can a great Chef have more than one great love?

Shhhhh...Don't Speak
When a gorgeous plate is presented to me, sometimes I just have to close my eyes for a few seconds. I can’t help it; I get so excited for what is about to come. It’s as if I am preparing myself for a crazy make-out session with a delicious, fantastic lover. I know it’s going to be extremely satisfying. I am excited, anxious, wanting to keep it going on for as long as I can in order to stretch out the pleasure. When I reopen my eyes it’s like awaking to a perfect caress. This dish was divine. The Chef was attentive with every component. Exacting standards coupled with a fiery passion; a personal love poem from the Chef to me. “Mmmm, what’s that you say lover”? Oh you are so gorgeous and I just know you are going to thrill me in every way.
I grab my chest and take in a deep breath, pick up my fork and close my eyes once again. OK, I think I’m ready to taste and feel the delight of this dish. Seductively I stare at this gorgeous plate of foie gras, “come here my darling”. Fireworks go off as I gently ease my fork out of my mouth. I close my eyes again, this dish is orgasmic. I whisper to my dinner partner, “don’t speak”…”shhhhhhhh”, he understands completely and I can’t even make eye contact with him, I am in my own little world and I sort of feel naked and vulnerable in a very intimate way. And yes I love it!
Prepared two ways, seared and as a terrine accompanied by perfect brioche pillows and a gentle marmalade. Smooth and velvety; perfect in every way…from a Crush to a masterful lover!
What's next? Thinking about wine and lovers…if I were to describe myself as a lover in wine I think I would be a Red Zinfandel, "fruity and spicey”.
What do you think you would be?

Surprised Me
When someone introduces me to a new creation or flavor I get unbelievably excited.
When you’ve been in the Food & Beverage Industry long enough you tend to see patterns and that means predictability and then who cares. Close my eyes and open my mouth…yes, it’s divine, but it’s not a passionate LOVER. New lover’s don't show up when cuisine is predictable. So the times I get caught off guard are so divine, it drives me wild!
Think about it like this, making love to your partner of 16 years….you know what to expect. Yes it’s great, but you know what’s coming next, you know the next move, it’s like a dance. But let’s say out of the blue they try a new technique and all love making momentum comes to a halt. Suddenly you look at your partner like a new lover. Who are you darling? I am curious, excited and frisky…let’s go!
So what flavor, what creation drove me wild…Carlton Oregon Winery- Cana’s Feast 2006 Sangiovese, that’s who. So I know nothing about Sangiovese when I arrive…what? True. I love that I know enough to make good choices but not enough to never be surprised or taken on a culinary/wine journey again. Not knowing is so much better sometimes. So I taste this wine, I take in the bouquet, I swirl, I flirt with all the flavors before I take it in. You’re pretty nice so far I say to my glass. It’s like a potential lover, I need to check it out, and once I roll it around in my mouth for awhile, I know we are a good match. Oh yes, this is going to be a great lover. I am told that in some ways Sangiovese is to Chianti as cabernet sauvignon is to Bordeaux. Sounds like a torrid and fantastic love affair to me.
Cana’s Feast 2006 Sangiovese made my palate feel like a gorgeous velvet runway for ripe, juicy cherries and smooth soft tannins to dance upon. The finish was so gentle, caressing and lingered for the perfect amount of time. I was ready for the next sip, not anxious, just ready. This wine delighted me, made love to me with each sip and best of all, it surprised me. ..the perfect lover!

The Art of Arousal
Arousal is slow and steady, never shocking, always seductive. A gentle caress in the right place and the right moment. Arousal approaches cautiously at first, but with every intention of causing you to catch your breath. Arousal requires thoughtful strategy and perfect timing with a passion to tantalize each sense and to provide an ultimate pleasure. This is what I believe the best Chef's and Wine Makers have in common. They desire to make love to you with each dish, each glass, over and over again until you beg for mercy.
This is what my blog is going to be about...the art of seduction through cuisine and wine, how it translates in my real life, how it stimulates and drives me wild.
