{"product_id":"lustful-appetites-rachel-hope-cleves-9781509553631","title":"Lustful Appetites: An Intimate History of Good Food and Wicked Sex","description":"We take the edible trappings of flirtation for granted: chocolate covered strawberries and romance, oysters on the half shell and desire, the eggplant emoji and a suggestive wink. But why does it feel so natural for us to link food and sexual pleasure? Rachel Hope Cleves explores the long association between indulging in good food and an appetite for naughty sex, from the development of the Parisian restaurant as a place for men to meet with prostitutes and mistresses, to the role of sexual outlaws like bohemians, new women, lesbians and gay men in creating epicurean culture in Britain and the United States. Taking readers on a gastronomic journey from Paris and London to New York, Chicago and San Francisco, \u003ci\u003eLustful Appetites\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how this preoccupation changed the ways we eat and the ways we are intimate―while also creating stigmas that persist well into our own twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Hope Cleves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509553630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509553631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Rachel Hope Cleves","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372647698687,"sku":"9781509553631","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2e52019-c3f8-4d50-a2fb-f7a0da156410.jpg?v=1732726551","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lustful-appetites-rachel-hope-cleves-9781509553631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
