Muffins: A to Z

Muffins: A to Z
by Marie Simmons [641.815 Sim]

I saw this earlier this winter on one of the book displays in the library, and colorful cover of this small-sized cookbook grabbed my attention. Filled with 41 muffin recipes (at least one starting with each letter of the alphabet), Muffins: A to Z is a compact, easy-to-follow baking guide for exploring the world of muffins. Reading through all of the recipes, you'll discover a certain commonality about muffin ingredients. However, there's enough variety in the special add-ons -- nuts, fruits, herbs, flavorings -- that there are at least 15-20 different "types" of muffins in this book. None of the recipes are complicated or difficult to prepare. I managed to try three of the recipes before returning the book to the library, and I heartily recommend both the Toasted Almond and Apricot Muffins, and the Fabulous Banana Muffins. -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library
