About the Author

Sisters Joan Pauli and Cathy Prange grew up in Ontario with the enticing smell of homemade muffins in their mother's kitchen. As a result, the two learned the basics of muffinery at an early age. Each later married, had three children and began honing their skills in muffin creation. It was in 1982 when the sisters started baking an incredibly wide variety of creative, scrumptious muffins on a regular basis. Family and friends devoured Cathy and Joan's diverse muffinery as soon as the threats left the ovens. At the same time, they urged Prange and Pauli to share recipes for their creations. Muffin Mania became an instant sensation in Canada.

Cathy Prange and Joan Pauli worked tirelessly at marketing, selling and promoting Muffin Mania throughout Canada. The sisters also authored Nifty Nibbles (now Nibble Mania), a collection of appetizers, finger foods and snacks, that followed quickly on the heels of Muffin Mania's success.

Veggie Mania, consisting of easy to prepare soups, salads and veggie casseroles, was published in 1986. Encouraged by their success and numerous requests for "what's next?" they compiled their favourite recipes for sweet lovers, and Sweet Mania was launched. This delightful book contains recipes for delicios pies, cakes, mouth-watering desserts, cookies and squares and a selection of their Christmas goodies.

this wonderful tried and true recipe book is amazingly easly to follow, the muffins ALWAYS turn out perfectly! This book was a mainstay in our home for years, until recently when it was 'lost'. It has simply disappeared. The variety of muffins, the ease of preparation, and the delicious results are well worth locating a book and wearing it out!

Someone recommended this book to me. I have decided to go through the recipes one by one. I have only made two so far, with mixed reviews. First muffin was a lemon tea muffin and it was way too salty for me and my family. I questioned myself as I was adding the teaspoon that was called for, but I wanted to follow the recipe exactly. Yuck. Second up was an apple muffin. It had a very good flavor, but looked awful. It was hard for me to get anyone in the family to try one because their appearance was so bad. I will continue to try the recipes because they are generally easy and only make 8-10 muffins. Surely I will eventually find a hit.

This is the recipe book that started my love of muffin baking that has continued for the past 20 years! I love this classic book - I felt lucky to take it with me when I moved out on my own. Great recipes, "normal" ingredeints, tasty and easy to follow. There are different chapters that cover the different kinds of muffins and a couple of areas for special occasions. LOVE IT!!!
