5.0 out of 5 stars Best Quickbread Source I've Ever Seen, December 1, 2009

This review is from: Pillsbury Best Muffins and Quick Breads Cookbook: Favorite Recipes from America's Most-Trusted Kitchen (Hardcover)

My life after retirement centers on cooking and baking - mostly baking! I have over 2000 cookbooks, and more than 50 on baking - this one is easily the best source of recipes for quickbreads I've ever come across - and why not? Who, other than Pillsbury, have had their noses pushed into America's best quickbread recipes annually for ... who knows how long? And if they decide to do a "Best" collection, you bet it'll be good!

My personal favorite is Current-Cardamom Scones on pg 119 - my local fame as a baker has been forged by doing this one for my wife's Red Hats ladies annually.

I purchased this cookbook several years ago. I have made many of the muffins in different sizes (just adjusted the cooking time). I especially enjoyed the streusel-topped pumpkin muffins (made into the jumbo muffins), plump carrot muffins and the banana oat muffins (made into the mini muffins). The book gives tips, recipes variations and beautiful illustrations for every recipe in the book!
