Erotic Recipes by Chiao T'ung

Chiao T'ung takes his direction from ancient Taoist and other texts which combine discussions of male potency, power, and food creating s a humorous and satirical work about sexism and political jargon in contemporary Taiwan. Like Marinetti's Futurist Cookbook, Erotic Recipes issues from the premise of a male-dominated society in which what is good for the body, either food or medicine, is often translated into a concept of magic bullets that can help men possess women. Using political phrases for his recipes such as Strengthening the Base and Return My Countryland, Chiao T'ung unmasks the patriachal myths that surround much of contemporary Taiwanese culture.

Chiao T'ung, the penname of Yeh Chen-fu is the Executive Deputy Director of the literary supplement of Taiwan's China Times.
