Praise for Elinor Klivans and her baking books

"Elinor Klivans is a name you may not know—you should—but it is quite possible you have tasted her food . . . Many, many home bakers depend on her books, her recipes and her expertise. Try one of the chocolate chip cookies and you'll understand . . . a baking treasure." —Cooking by the Book

"Another recipe I love is the one for these dreamy lemon ripple cheesecake swirl bars from Camden, Maine-based cookbook author and 'cheesecake specialist' Elinor Klivans, and I'm not alone—they've been a huge fan favorite at F&W ever since we published the recipe over 10 years ago." —Food & Wine

"Appealing . . . a combination cookbook, memoir and travelogue." —Publishers Weekly
