 The Ultimate Muffin Book: More Than 600 Recipes for Sweet and Savory Muffins $16.95 I like the idea of this book - basic recipes for muffins with variations on each theme. I liked the helpful tips, and the recipes for toppings in the back of the book. But I have tried a fair number of recipes, and each was disappointing. The muffins lacked flavor and spice, and were heavy on the flour. None of the recipes were "keepers", according to my family. I'm puzzled by reviews stating a cookbook is "an excellent treatment of the subject", apparently without trying the recipes and tasting the results. You have to cook from a cookbook to know if it is any good! I'd recommend checking this one out of the library for a trial, if you have an interest in the book.  Muffins: Sweet and Savory Comfort Food $16.95 A great recipe book for muffins. Old time favorites and a lot of new ideas. Just great!  Muffins: Sixty Sweet and Savory Recipes... From Old Favorites to New $7.99 Muffins, by Elizabeth Alston, is a wonderful book. The recipes are unusual; they are also clear and easy to make, and the result are heavenly! The pumpkin chocolate chip muffins are my favorite, but there are fifty-eight more (there's one recipe for preserves to put on your muffins). There are sweet, savory, and English muffins recipes here, all of which are worth trying. I have not found a clunker in the bunch. Very highly recommended. |
