Vancouverites Shar Levine and Vicki Scudamore were surprised to learn their publisher was calling their new book Chocolate Lover's Cookbook (Sterling $14.95), as several books already bore the same title. If they had to share a title, the authors thought, why not War and Peace? Levine and Scudamore, best known for their science books for kids, cover the science of chocolate as well as recipes, tips and trivia. Accordingly, we learn Chocolate Brownie Fruit Pizza is the most requested dessert by movie stars who stay at Vancouver's Sutton Place Hotel.
