note: Two copies of this book were provided to me by author, Nava Atlas at no cost for the purpose of review and giveaway
First, I have to start by telling you that I love Nava Atlas. I am a big fan of her Modern Romance Comix, and eagerly follow her on Twitter. It is no wonder then that
I loved her retro-licious new mock cookbook Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife.
The story behind this eye-popping delight of a book is wonderful. Nava Atlas is not only an acclaimed vegetarian cookbook author, she is also a fine artist whose work is displayed in museums and private collections. According to the acknowledgment notes, this book began as a private project in response to girlfriends experiencing "marital malaise". With encouragement from her friends, she found as the hilarity grew, so did the project.
Are you thinking marital disappointment can't be funny? Think again. I just about doubled over reading her "recipe" for "What a Turkey Noodle Soup" and "People Pleasing Tossed Salad". And the graphics!
By the time I got to her sweetly touching recipe for "Happily Ever After Ambrosia" my eyes were tearing up a little in just the nicest way, and I had at least half a dozen of my own girlfriends in mind who I simply MUST send this book to.
That is where you come in. If you would like a copy of Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife, Leave a comment here. On Friday I will pick one lucky reader from the US or Canada to win. Good Luck and Happy Reading!

I love Nava Atlas's recipes. Can't wait to read this book and see a new side of her!
I haven't yet been disappointed with any of Nava's books. This one looks real good.
Looks great!
This looks hilarious, lol. Love it when I can comment and maybe win a prize! Really don't like it when I want to read other other comments and find they've been spammed. Not nice.
Heh. What brought me here was you twittering "Oh Canada!"
Isn't very often there are contests willing to include Canucks. You love us. You really love us!
