About this title

About the Author:

Jeanne Benedict, a caterer and entrepreneur, is the author of Sophisticated Entertaining and The Sophisticated Cookie, and creator of the video, Gingerbread House Party. She has appeared on many television and radio shows including "CBS Sunday Morning", HGTV's "Smart Solutions," and the DYI Network. She has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, among other newspapers.

From Library Journal:

Klivans (Bake and Freeze Chocolate Desserts, LJ 8/97) is back with more delectable, indulgent recipes, from Super S'Mores to Grasmere Ginger Shortbread to Caramel Crunch Butter Cookies. A good introduction covers techniques, equipment, and ingredients as well as freezing and shipping cookies. There are "Kid Easy" cookies and more sophisticated ones, too, holiday favorites, bars and brownies of all types, even a whole chapter on shortbread, and more. Recommended for all baking collections. Benedict, who has worked as a bartender, cocktail waitress, and caterer, offers cookies flavored with liqueurs and other alcohol, grouped into chapters such as "America's Favorite Cocktail in a Hurry" and "Trendy Mixology." While a "spirited" glaze, for example, may add to a simple butter cookie, and bourbon balls are perennially popular, this seems like overkill: Strawberry Vodka Linzer Cookies, Raspberry Schnapps Thumbprints, Irish Whiskey Shortbread. Not a necessary purchase.
