“What the O team has been reading … The Cookie Book by Maritza Breitenbach.”
— O, The Oprah Magazine
“Reading THE COOKIE BOOK epitomizes “sexuality” to me – an experience in which one’ s senses are simultaneously
assaulted culminating and forever feeling alive, woman, wild and wonderful. Like Sexuality, Maritza’s book is multi
layered, each page presents a surprise. Oh no, this author has well researched her book, mixed medias from cartoon
strips to poetry and gorgeous illustrations to keep the reader constantly alert, educated and interested. A beautiful
contribution to women and their sexuality.” – Dr Marlene Wasserman, aka Dr Eve, author, registered sex therapist in
South Africa and the USA, lecturer and radio talk-show host

it en then pass it on to the fathers and boyfriends… Then allow them time to recover.” – Dave Pepler, author, environmentalist

“What a refreshing and candid look at something we all want to know more about and discuss but often do not! Maritza
has managed to educate, make one laugh and be amazed all at the same time, and it’s all delivered with such humor,
passion and love for her subject. This is a must read for all the women out there and for any man who likes women and
wants to know more!” – Embeth Davidtz, actress, LA, United States of America
