Planning a romantic meal for Valentine's Day? Aphrodisiac foods contain things that are supposed to put you in the mood for love. Some are called aphrodisiacs because of their shape (think asparagus spears), some for their smell (think strawberries) and some for their ingredients (think chocolate pud).

There'll be some that you'll already be aware of, like chocolate and strawberries, but did you know that pine nuts are actually an aphrodisiac food too because they're full of zinc which boosts your sex drive?

Here are our top 15 aphrodisiacs and a selection of quick and easy recipes to get you in the mood for love!
