Gastronomy and seduction combine to stimulate the senses in this light-hearted tale of two at-home gourmets amorously entangled with the same woman. Damocles and Dimitris live in the same apartment building, on the same floor. Not only do they compete for square footage, but also for the love of the same woman, Nana -- by creating new and succulent dishes to tempt and seduce her. Their rivalry is chronicled in 17 appetizing chapters, each furnished with its own recipes to summon up the epicurean delights of the Aegean. A delightful and delicious tale of food and sex and everything else that falls between.
