Eat to Love, Love to Eat
Casanova is said to have braced himself with oysters and a cup of chocolate before venturing into a lady’s boudoir.

Throughout the centuries, food and drink have been used to enhance a person’s allure, increase fertility and improve vitality. Today, evidence that this practice is still followed is shown by star-crossed lovers who wittingly or unwittingly treat themselves to decadent aphrodisiacs.
And for amorous souls and food connoisseurs alike, the selection of treats from Delifrance–the premiere European styled café in the region are especially designed to ignite love this Valentines season with their Valentines offering.
Take the Delifrance Flaming Choco Lava Cake, aptly named by virtue of the chocolate which deliciously trickles through when cut. While a definitive treat to all sweet-tooths, the chocolate in this cake is said to contain phenylethylamine – the substance in the brain which according to psychiatrist Michael Liebowitz “stimulates romance and goes up when we meet the right person.” Aside from igniting romance, the Flaming Choco Lava Cake is all fired up once served—literally.
