Beau Cook's Food Porn

Food AND Sex? In one book? I'd like to see that....

I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam….

Remember that scene from 9 ½ Weeks with Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke do stuff with food that meant you never looked at a honey dispenser the same way again? Former MasterChef contestant (Season 4, 2012), firefighter and now author, Beau Cook, has taken that age-old concept of combining food and sex and created a recipe book called Beau Cook's Food Porn - for those who love a bit on the side with their main course.

In a world where millions of Instagrammers are snapping every dish that lands under their nose, #foodporn is a widely used hashtag. So widely used in fact that at the time of penning this release the count was 138,787,303 and ticking over. Eating with our eyes has never been so popular. Beau Cook's Food Porn is a feast for your eyes as well as for your belly.

Food Porn. We all love the turn of phrase. Beau's inner teenager loved what this could be. Being sexually suggestive with food is fun so Beau went about developing a recipe book that took a light-hearted look at food and porn in a humorous and tongue-in-cheek way – or is that tongue in grapefruit? The book is illustrated with a range of bodies, ages, genders and culturally diverse models enjoying food in a variety of positions suggesting that this really is a book about real food for real people with real desires.

'I find the current definition of food porn so boring; no one actually cares if you have eaten a delicious meal and want to show the world… For me the true meaning of food porn is the combination of food and sex, I would love to see more people getting naked and having fun in the kitchen," exclaims Beau Cook.

Beau Cook's Food Porn will have you rapidly fanning yourself with a banana leaf and blushing like a peach when it shows you more than one use for spaghetti or what to do with a zucchini. Flick through glossy and colourful pages of licks and laughs and create Beau's delicious recipes to feed your lover this Christmas, Valentine's Day or for a special birthday.

Beau Cook is best known for his appearance on MasterChef, Season 4, 2012, when he made the final eight before being eliminated. A career firefighter who lives just outside Castlemaine in Victoria, Beau's approach to food is simple and homely with comedic irreverence as well as genuine passion. The fact that his name literally means beautiful cook is not lost on him either.
