DANIELLE PEITA GRAHAM
Why do we all go weak in the knees when our partners whip up a gourmet feast for us? Because cooking, like romance, triggers the same reward hormones - dopamine and norepinephrine - that make us feel loved, as studies have shown.
Cooking as a sensual activity is often explored in movies (Julie & Julia, Chocolat, Like Water for Chocolate etc.). Cooking together envelopes us in a sensorial experience of textures, flavours, colours, sounds and aromas, inducing a heightened awareness of each other’s touch, voice and presence. Throw in some role-play, enjoy some wine and let the spontaneity of romance take over as you cook up an unforgettable memory of a special Valentine’s Day meal together.
Artisans need the right tools to create their masterpiece. Present her with a brand-new set of modern-chic cookware as a surprise lead-up to a night of sensual culinary discoveries. The Danielle Peita Graham collection of cookware and kitchen accessories from Motherswork has everything you need, including an easy to follow cookbook with recipes that Danielle has developed over the years.
The Kitchen Essentials kit ($119.00) comes with 1 x parent and child knife set, 1x kitchen scissors, 1 x Chef’s cloth bag for your knives and scissors, 1 x Around the Table at Home cookbook.
