Preparing and eating good food in welcome company is invariably a sensual experience. But some fares seem sexier than others.

Is there anything erotic about downing your morning toast, snacking on crackers or biting into a corned beef sandwich?

Compare that with savoring a velvety, creamy bisque, a luscious chocolate mousse or a chilled, pureed Burgundy peach soup.

Are some foods really aphrodisiacs? Scientists can't confirm that for a fact, but the belief that certain ones stir the libido may be all the convincing that's needed.

To plan an amorous meal for your valentine, think of gentle, creamy, mellow dishes that offer a smooth, silken texture and the hint of subtle perfume.

Conjure up a light pureed soup, a garlic-perfumed aioli sauce, an exotic Middle Eastern baba ghanoush, a salmon mousse, ripe fruits, smooth puddings, sweet mousses, French creme brulee, Mexican flan, bread puddings and cream puffs. And, of course, everyone's favorite in any form--chocolate.

Here are a few ideas to help you start your Valentine's Day planning.
