Les Cinglés Du Chocolat Hardcover French Edition

About the Item

Les cinglés du chocolat Hardcover French Edition. Text in French small Size. Dimensions: 8.5 in x 5.5 in x 0.5 in. Les cinglés du chocolat by Sandra Boynton, Jean-Jacques Brisebarre, Sylvie Girard. Published: 1987. English title: Chocolate: The Consuming Passion. CHOCOLATE continues to delight chocoholics everywhere. Packed with Boynton's famous hippos, bunnies, pigs, and other animals, this gift-perfect book is a whimsical commentary on the individual's relationship to chocolate, its varieties, and its sources. From the several sorts of chocolate connoisseur-including the gourmoo, who eats only milk chocolate-to the several shapes of chocolate itself (bunny, kiss, glove compartment bar), Boynton's apologia for chocolate misses nothing. Myths are chocolate is not fattening, she argues, especially when the caloric expenditure of carrying it home from the store and hiding it from company is factored in. Directions are to remove stains, lick them. Plus, how to grow chocolate at home, a foolproof method for determining if chocolate is in season (does the name of the month contain the letter A, E, or U?), and a recipe for Hippo Pot de Mousse. "Fourteen out of ten people like chocolate," says the artist. This is the only guide for people who like chocolate the way they like to breathe. Résumé in French: Léger, drôle, amusant, le livre illustré avec humour analyse et présente tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin au chocolat : profils chocooliques, fabrication, comment s'en procurer, quelques clichés, quelques recettes, réactions et psychologie … de quoi faire rire une accroc du chocolat comme moi ! Bref, avec une petite touche de mauvaise foi (et de crise de foie) propre aux chocophiles aigus, ce livre est à lire en mordillant quelques carrés de chocolat !
