Produktbeschreibung

The Zen of Chocolate combines original bittersweet wisdom with succulent photos. Written by an award-winning author, these delectable and meaningful sayings convey the insights found in every square of chocolate and every dusting of cocoa. Chocolate has inspired wonder and delight for millennia. Long considered a healthy drink and now proven to be a healthful food, chocolate triggers an intense experience. Imagine a chocolate fantasy like chocolate pizza, a chocolate store where everything is free, or a chocolate restaurant that makes everything with the confection. Chocolate fudge and chocolate syrup can be enhanced with other natural wonders like honey, or it can be paired with flavored coffee. While savoring the flavor, the mind expands and receives wisdom by the bar. Milk chocolate, hot chocolate, dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate liquor, baking chocolate, cocoa and chocolate nibs can be folded into desserts, candy, chocolate bars, chocolate mousse, cookies, cheesecake, brownies, pastry, truffles, and even marzipan. With so many options, the inspirational saying flow through a mind that is relaxed and energized with chocolate! Inspiring photos enhance each original saying in a full-color book that makes a perfect gift. A tempting collection for every chocolate lover, foodie, and anyone seeking peace, The Zen of Chocolate satiates with wisdom that can make us happier, healthier, calmer, and more loving. The softcover edition uses a single-page layout for an affordable price point. The hardcover edition displays each saying across a beautiful two-page spread with the full-color photo on the righthand page, making it the perfect gift. Laine Cunningham, a three-time recipient of The Hackney Award, writes fiction that takes readers around the world. Her debut novel, The Family Made of Dust, is set in the Australian Outback, while Reparation is a novel of the American Great Plains. She is the editor of Sunspot Literary Journal.

Autorenporträt

After Laine Cunningham's debut novel manuscript won a national literary award, Jack Scovil became her agent. Mr. Scovil worked with Norman Mailer, Carl Sagan, Morris West and Arthur C. Clark. Their ten-year relationship ended when he passed. Laine then developed a new fiction voice that resulted in On a Rush of Silent Wings, a literary black comedy dealing with income inequality and the illusions we choose to believe. Currently she is developing an epic historical novel set in Europe during the scientific revolution before the Enlightenment. Her novels include The Family Made of Dust: A Novel of Loss and Rebirth in the Australian Outback, which won two national awards. Beloved, a sensual noir thriller, follows an FBI agent who must access the dark power of the goddess Kali to bring down two serial killers. In Reparation, a Lakota Sioux man must save a sister and his lover from a sinister peyote cult. Laine's goal for her fiction is to spur readers into dialog about our society and the parallels found in history. When individuals recognize how large issues build on multiple small elements, many of which were taken up by individuals just like them, they recognize that everyone can foment change. As a publishing consultant with twenty years of experience, she has written Writing While Female or Black or Gay: Diverse Voices in Publishing. Also look for Seven Sisters: Spiritual Messages from Aboriginal Australia. More information can be found on LaineCunningham.com and WritersResource.us.
