Aphrodisiac foods
Enjoy the new year with Tietze’s Gourmet Catering Zurich
February belongs to love – and in the kitchen of Tietze’s Catering also to foods that have been regarded as little culinary love helpers for centuries. Aphrodisiac ingredients are more than just a myth: they awaken the senses, create a mood and turn a menu into an experience that touches the heart and palate. It is precisely this magic that we take up on Valentine’s Day and transform it into a gourmet experience that will enchant you and your guests.
Why aphrodisiac foods?
Even in ancient times, certain ingredients were regarded as mood enhancers: chili for warmth, pomegranate for passion, saffron for well-being, oysters for elegance and dark chocolate for pure sensuality.
In modern cuisine, we use these ingredients consciously – not as a magic trick, but as a flavorful composition that evokes emotions.
A Valentine’s Day menu that seduces
Every year, our team creates a special menu that is perfect for Valentine’s Day. It’s romantic, stylish and full of ingredients that have always been considered aphrodisiacal. For example:
Appetizer
Oysters with pomegranate vinaigrette – fresh, elegant and a classic of love cuisine.
Intermediate course
Saffron risotto with chili prawns – creamy, aromatic and with a subtle warmth to start the evening.
Main Course
Fillet of beef with rosemary, red wine and tender vegetables – powerful, sensual and perfect for special moments.
Dessert
Chocolate mousse with tonka bean – a sweet finish that melts in the mouth and awakens the senses.
Vegetarian menu

Not just for private use – also a highlight for companies
Aphrodisiac foods are not only suitable for romantic evenings.
A company event in February with a menu full of “mood food” makes for a special experience that connects, inspires and is memorable. A touch of magic, a little humor and a lot of enjoyment – that’s what makes events at this time of year so unique.
