What Do Women REALLY Want? Chocolate! by Donna Barstow

There’s no other book like this anywhere. Family Circle named it book of the month!

Brownies, cupcakes, ice cream, it’s all here, and it’s not vanilla any more. Very handsome, with tons of reviews from food writers and critics.

Why I wrote this book. This is my first book! I think about chocolate, or desserts including chocolate, every day.  Apparently quite a few other people feel the same way, including editors, because I’ve certainly sold a lot of cartoons about it! (When I first started doing chocolate cartoons no one would buy them..silly men editors.)

Description. The chocolate-brown book cover is smooth, almost silky, and in contrast, the inside pages are thick and super-white. The publisher decided it should be a hardback, to be a real collector’s item.  There are over 120 full-page cartoons about ice cream, cake, brownies, cookies and of course chocolate. And the foreword is by the famous author of The Cake Bible (the best!!!) and 11 other cookbooks, Rose Levy Beranbaum;  she thought this topic was so special that she wrote her first introduction for it.

140 pp, 8″ square, hardback. This book is also bigger than the New Yorker books. 🙂 You can find it on Amazon, or if you want me to sign it, and, or, do an original, delicious sketch in the book, in milk chocolate ink, buy it immediately.
