Food from Fifty Shades

Food plays a fairly large role in the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, so, for a bit of fun, we've put together a collection of "In the Mood" foods that will fire up your appetite...for various things.

According to the buzz-kills at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, sampling chocolate, oysters, and asparagus might make you feel more amorous, but it won't do a thing for your sex drive. FDA aside, we choose to believe that you can make a little magic with a mouthwatering recipe.

Why not try a few of these alleged aphrodisiac foods and recipes inspired by the novels and see what happens?

Pomegranate Margaritas

Pomegranate Margaritas Recipe
Christian comes to Ana’s rescue after she imbibes in one (or five) too many margaritas, tracking her cell phone to find her. Creepy? Yes. Kind of sweet? Yes. Next time, maybe she’ll take it slow with one of these pomegranate infused margaritas.

Caramel-Cloaked Chocolate-Hazelnut Torte

Caramel-Cloaked Chocolate-Hazelnut Torte Recipe
Early in the first novel, Ana describes Christian’s voice as, “warm and husky like dark melted chocolate fudge caramel…or something.” Sounds delicious, but we’ll settle for this caramel-cloaked torte.

Lemon-Shallot Scallops

Chicken-and-Veggie Stir-fry

Chicken-and-Veggie Stir-fry Recipe
The first time Ana has Christian over to her apartment, she discovers that he may not be as perfect as she thought. After a quick grocery shopping trip, Ana sees his “domestic” side and challenges him to chop red peppers for their chicken stir-fry. We’re hoping you have better luck chopping the veggies for this stir-fry then Christian did.

Mint Iced Tea

Mint Iced Tea Recipe
Thankfully Ana's stepfather, Ray, has instilled in her the fine art of drinking a hot cup of tea to unwind and think. With a plot this twisted and steamy, she may want to consider some iced tea to cool things off. Fifty shades of Earl Grey?
