 Disappointing October 18, 2008
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.
 Love it! June 30, 2008
I borrowed this book from our public library and after renewing it 3 times, I decided I'd better just buy it! My kids and I enjoy making homemade muffins (NOT the grocery store box kinds) for breakfast options and this book has loads. Easy-to-follow directions even for kids and the results have been great every time. Sure, there might be some kinds that I wouldn't even consider trying, but what recipe book doesn't have that? If you like muffins, I recommend this!
 Muffins April 7, 2008
This cook book is okay but not great. They have neat muffin flavors but the recipes turn out kind of dry muffins.
Nice Addition to any Collection April 5, 2008
I have, literally, dozens of baking books that cover everything from flatbreads to pies. I was pleased to add this one to my collection. I like the alphabetical indexing concept and the straightforward formulations. As a research and production baking professional, I recommend that you add this to your collection.
 Just waste of time June 3, 2007

I bought this book after reading what other buyers had to say about it. But I realized I made a mistake. As the first recipe I tried the peach muffins, they baked great but tasted horribly bitter, may be I overbaked them. I tried that same recipe again. This time they taste good, not great but give out strong chalky smell. I had to eat the muffin holding my breath, because if I smell it I get the feeling of eating chalk. Now I'm just scared to try out other recipes. It's such waste of time and money.
