But it's a little known fact that the most celebrated exemplar of the form, the prophet Michel de Nostradamus, was also the Gordon Ramsay of the 16th century. He was particularly good at making jam. Nostradamus's "love jam" is apparently so powerful and efficacious that "if a man were to have a little of it in his mouth, and while having it in his mouth kissed a woman, or a woman him, and expelled it with his saliva, putting some of it in the other's mouth, it would suddenly cause ... a burning of her heart to perform the love-act". The recipe is contained in Nostradamus's third book, the Traité des fardemens et confitures. This "Treatise on Make-Up and Jam" appeared in 1555, although the date on the manuscript is 1552. http://books.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1744158,00.html#article_continue Jun 06 08, 5:03 AM
