I've tried almost every recipe in this book and they come out perfectly without fail. Excellent book for the pro or novice. Easy to find ingredients and easy to follow instructions. Pictures accompany recipes. Final product usually resembles picture. Most people will find that these recipes will yield the desired result.

This book has a nice combination of tried-and-true favorites (corn muffins, banana bread) and creative, newer recipes (Buckwheat bread, triple-chocolate muffins). I've tried several and I always get rave reviews. The oatmeal raisin made with buttermilk is a standard at office parties. The recipes are easy and every recipe is pictured in color! I think this book is great additon to any cooks collection.

A great little book with about 50 recipes for both sweet and savory muffins & quick breads. Don't expect a tome here, this is a mini cookbook, but still well done. Recipes are clear and easy. I've tried about 15 of them and the results have all been good.
After you make a handful of these recipes, you'll get a good feel for muffin basics & venture out on your own. Muffin inventing has become a favorite past time of mine since I got this book. (My Cherry-Cheese Muffins are pretty darn good!)
The book's Poppyseed Muffin recipe has become a favorite of my friends.

Be careful as you mix from this book. It makes me wonder whether the previous reviewers actually used the recipes to make muffins. Page 12 1 cup(4 oz/125g) page 17 2 cups (10 oz/315g)

page 18 1 cup (5 oz/155g) 1 cup (2 1/2 oz/80g) 1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz/105g)

The errors are on about every other page as one continues through the book.
