FOODING AROUND: ANG ISTORYA NG GAYUMA From: Illustrado Magazine  Chef Mico Galligues share recipes using ingredients known to stimulate desire. Read on                         

as he spills his top culinary secrets. 

Beyond the month of love, there’s always room for that mystic exotic potion we Filipinos                             know as ‘gayuma.’ Apparently, if you want to snatch someone else’s lover, or to cast a                               spell on your beloved, gayuma is what you need – nakakapraning! These mixtures are                           commonly sold around Quiapo and Baclaran. But be careful! They are not BFAD                         approved and maybe harmful to your health. So if you are not willing to risk ending up in a                                     hospital bed, I suggest you might as well look into aphrodisiac foods instead. 

According to ‘my friend’ Webster an aphrodisiac is a “food or drink that stimulates desire,                             derived from the name of Aphrodite (Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love, rose from the                             sea on an oyster and then gave birth to my best friend Eros – you know, the fashion                                   designer/photographer?). Here is a list of common aphrodisiac foods which you might                       already have in your kitchen – aniseed, almond, avocado, asparagus, banana, carrots, chili                         peppers, basil, chocolate, coffee, oyster, ginger, garlic, cilantro, rosemary, balut (duck                     embryo), edible snails, oregano, saffron, thyme, caviar, tuna, salmon, cherry, dates,                     strawberries, peaches, etc. 

Many articles and books have been written about these ‘hot’ foods and even Dr. Margie                             Holmes will tell you to eat some of these foods to spice up your relationship. Trust her, she                                   is a clinical psychologist, and trust me I’m a chef. So, I prepared some recipes with our                                 aphrodisiac ingredients for a unique Pinoy menu na siguradong nakaka­in love! Una                       siempre ang number one sa mga barako – ang pang malakasan nating ‘Soup Number                           Five,’ then ang pambato ng mga taga Cavite, Navotas at Malabon ang ‘talaba,’ ang ‘beef                             trio’ na sigradong makakataba ng puso, and a sinful dessert to cap it all.
