Mad About Muffins - Among Friends

Comment: I had checked this book out at my local Public Library last winter and after making some of the simplest recipes ever, I decided I just had to OWN this book! The imagination and combination of the most unexpected ingredients to make muffins, is to say the least, the biggest surprise! The graphics and variety of recipes was also a pleasant surprise. This is a MUST have for any pleasure baker--a real crowd pleaser!

Comment: ... This is the ticket.

A large variety of great muffin recipes.
We really like muffins for road-trips. Wife will whip up a batch the evening before, we grab 'em on the way out for a pre-dawn departure, and munch them on the road.

Nice variety of common and unusual recipes.

Comment: I hesitated to buy this book, given I already own a muffin book with 500 recipes. However, this book has creative recipes not found in my other book. As with her "Is It Soup Yet?" book, the author has provided innovative, easy recipes that I will enjoy for a long time. So many good recipes, so little time!

Comment: with delicious recipes!
I've tried several of them and they are so good!
Here you'll find everyone's favourites like blueberry, cinnamon and corn; savory muffins (vegetable cheese), with fruits, nuts, a whole chapter with chocolate recipes, another for children, and new flavours for adults.
The book comes with really nice designs, so it makes a great gift as well.

Comment: Mad about Muffins is a wonderful idea for a cookbook and it is very attractive but I think that the author could have found better recipes. The muffins are all very edible but they are not outstanding and the results do not always look "bakeshop pretty". The ingredients called for are simple and most people who bake often will have them on hand. There are many basic recipes (bran, blueberry, corn etc) but there are also some exciting flavor combinations (pumpkin apple, orange pineapple) and not always sweet (some savory ie. Buttermilk Scallion Parsley potato). If you are crazy about muffins then this cookbook is a safe bet but you can find just as good if not better muffin recipes in another baking book that covers alot more categories including muffins.
