about amy reiley
Amy Reiley is one of the foremost-educated women in food and wine. In August 2004, became the
second American to earn a Master of Gastronomy from the French
temple of cuisine, Le Cordon Bleu. During her research at Cordon
Bleu Amy grew to notoriety as an authority on aphrodisiac foods.
She is still exhausted from the fieldwork.
Through her company, Life of Reiley, Amy has found many avenues to promote her aphrodisiac knowledge and unique take on life’s “consuming passions.” The Eat Something Sexy website, www.eatsomethingsexy.com and Amy’s monthly e-newsletter, Amy Reiley’s Aphrodisiac of the Month are considered the online authorities on aphrodisiac food history and science.
But Amy’s culinary knowledge is not limited to aphrodisiac foods. In June 2005, Amy was singled out as one of the five best female wine professionals in the world of the year by France’s Wine Women awards.And she is the creator of the award-winning Amy
Reiley's Pocket Vineyard and the companion Amy
Reiley's Pocket Gourmet, the first comprehensive PDA programs
on food and wine.
Amy currently divides her time between Sin City and the City
of Angels and can be found speaking, teaching and sharing her
love for foods of passion with all who will listen. Her best
work (outside the kitchen) can be devoured at Life of Reiley, www.lifeofreiley.com,
the website celebrating everything aphrodisiac.
Amy’s second book, Chile Aphrodisia by Rio Nuevo press, was released in June 2006. In 2009 she served as the editor on Life of Reiley's second title, Kiss My Bundt: recipes from the award-winning bakery (and baked over 68 cakes in 9 weeks for the project!) She is currently working on her next book, The Love Diet with Chef Juan-Carlos Cruz. Follow their progress at LoveDietBlog.com.
In addition to promoting both books, Amy speaks and consults on various food and wine topics. She divides her time between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, where she has designed a culinary classroom and test kitchen, providing industry innovators with a space in which to hold classes, tastings events and film/television shoots.
