What makes certain foods aphrodisiacs? Something in the imagination or something in reality?

There are two schools of thought: some believe food that looks sexy is sexy while others think that it's the actual ingredients that ignite our hormones. This year's Valentine's Day aphrodisiac recipes do it for both.

So take the plunge, add a dash of passion, and give these recipes from Miami - the country's hottest new culinary oasis - a whirl. Or, just book a romantic Valentine's Day weekend at one of these swanky new boutique hotels and try the originals!
