Sharing caviar is a ceremonious affair. Set in a glass placed out over a bed of crushed ice, a pearl spoon scoops out a small portion. Together you assemble individual bite sized morsels, slowly savoring each and every bite. Typically served with champagne, vodka or wine, eating caviar is an incredibly sexy experience. And the good news; it does not have to cost a fortune.




Caviar--the ultimate aphrodisiac. Throughout history, certain foods have been known for putting people "in the mood" and caviar is definitely one of them. Much of the mystique of caviar as an aphrodisiac comes from its being an egg and its symbolic representation of fertility. However, its also in the way it is served.

While caviar does not require adornment, it can be served with a variety of garnishes such as toast points, unsalted crackers, or blinis (small flat pancakes), chopped hard-boiled eggs, crème fraîche, sour cream, minced onions, and tiny new white potatoes. For my Seduction Meal treat, I served caviar with toast points, crème fraîche, snipped chives and shots of Stolychinia Vodka. Enjoy; as this is truly an affordable, indulgent experience.

Caviar should be always be served using a pearl or glass spoon, or even plastic utensils. Metals such as silver or stainless steel will impart a metallic taste.

There are many recipes that elevate to another level when adding caviar as one of the ingredients, such as my grilled lobster served over crab ravioli with cream sauce--try topping this with a delicate black caviar. Or for a special breakfast in bed try salmon caviar rolls.
