Sweet CHIC is my new favorite "treat" cookbook!

Have you ever just gotten a cookbook that you couldn't put down?  Or one that you wanted to make almost every recipe in it?  I just received a cookbook that is just that.  It's called Sweet CHIC Stylish Treats to Dress Up For Any Occasion and I absolutely adore it.  It is a book about stylish treats to dress up for any occasion and was written by Rachel Schifter Thebault.  Don't know if you've heard of her, but trust me on this one.

Rachel Schifter Thebault, author of Sweet Chic: Stylish Treats to Dress Up for Any Occasion, is the founder of Tribeca Treats, and spent seven years as an investment banker before transforming her side hobby of making truffles for friends into a full-time career in confections. A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education, she opened Tribeca Treats in 2007. The bakery has won honors from American Express OPEN and entrepreneur organizations, and is a pillar of the Tribeca community. A sought-after speaker and panelist, she has also taught cooking and baking to children. She currently lives in Tribeca (and travels the globe) with her husband and their two daughters.

This wonderful book will help you to transform a regular dessert into a masterpiece without all the hard work that you would usually have to do.  Rachel has already done the hard work and has given you the keys to looking like a professional chef from home.  Rachel begins with the basics and takes you all the way to being a polished baker.

There are three sections of this cookbook.  Section one is all about cookies, section two is about cakes and my favorite is section three, confections.  I especially enjoyed the recipe for Ballpark Bark.  It combines sweet and salty, crunchy and soft and will make you wonder why you haven't had some of this all of your life.  Simple yet delicious, this recipe will become one of your holiday staples for sure.
Rachel even tells you how to store and how long to store this wonderful dessert.  It can be kept fresh for 4 weeks. Wouldn't this be great to give as a Christmas gift???  Something to think about with the holidays coming.  So please, run right out and pick up this book or order from her web site
