A recent press release announced news of an Aphrodisiac Menu that will be available at Barking Frog, located in the Willows Lodge, a glam wine-country retreat in Woodinville Wine Country. The menu, created by Executive Chef Bobby Moore, who has an incredible Mini Lamb Burger in Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining (page 48), will be available throughout February. Here’s a shot of us during a booksigning when the book was first released in the fall of 2007.

The hotel also offers two romance packages designed for the month of love, the “Do Not Disturb” and the “Remember When” romance packages. 

Here’s the Aphrodisiac Menu, whose various courses contain ingredients reputed to stimulate aphrodisiac qualities. Ooh-la-la!
