Cooking Up Seduction Teaser

My friend Dr. Jenn and I met at a Good ol' Gals event and we new instantly we where both very passionate people with a lot in common. After lots of fun conversations filled with lots of laughs we said to one an other "we must combine our talent" (giving the world 2 Jenn's for the price of one). We put together a series of fun 5 to 10 minute videos about food and how sentual it can be.

Chef Jenn and Dr. Jenn are announcing their DVD release party for there “Cooking Up Seduction” video series. “Cooking Up Seduction” is a video series where the culinary arts meet the sensual art and we would like to invite you our DVD release event.


An opportunity to meet Chef Jenn and Dr. Jenn live and in person on Thursday, April 15, 2010 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Tango Wine Company in Little Italy.

Dr. Jenn (Jennifer Gunsaullus), PhD, is passionate about making sexual topics educational, safe, and fun. As a relationship & intimacy doctor, Dr. Jenn counsels individuals and couples to improve healthy communication and deepen intimate connection.

Chef Jenn has degrees in Culinary Arts and Culinary Nutrition, as well as a Sommelier Certificate from Deutsche Wein-und Sommelierschule wine school in Koblenz, Germany. Chef Jenn has taken her international training to numerous San Diego cooking schools and currently runs the Regional Occupational Programming (ROP) culinary arts program in San Marcos.

They believe that passions for food and sensuality are universal and appeal to a very broad audience.

The Jenn’s love to have information about the DVD release party posted or can be interviewed for more information about their recent foray into private parties!
