Book Description

November 17, 2003 Williams-Sonoma Collection
Blueberry muffins crowned with a cinnamon and sugar topping, savory cornmeal muffins spiced with jalape ño, tender lemon and poppy seed muffins served with lemon curd -- these are recipes that any home cook would be proud to make and bring fresh from the oven to the table.

Williams-Sonoma Collection Muffins includes 40 kitchen-tested recipes for these and other muffins as well as coffee cakes and quick breads. Not only can the recipes be prepared in just an hour or two -- they are also wonderfully versatile. Banana-walnut muffins and slices of pumpkin bread are delightful ways to bake with fresh fruits and vegetables. You can serve muffins flavored with Cheddar cheese or pesto as a savory accompaniment to soups and salads. Coffee cakes enriched with raspberries, apples, or chocolate make elegant centerpieces for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea.

Each recipe in these pages is shown alongside a beautiful full-color photograph that helps you decide which recipe you want to bake. Additional photographs illustrate side notes with invaluable information about essential ingredients and techniques. You will also find an entire chapter devoted to simple baking basics. This cookbook provides everything you need to create delicious muffins perfect for any meal or occasion.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Fail Recipes August 29, 2004
Format:Hardcover
I cannot rave enough about this cookbook! I have been baking for over 20 years and have gone through many cookbooks. This one is amazing. I have tried over 15 recipes so far and all have been fabulous. It is very user-friendly and the instructions are clear. I really like the photos of all the goodies, it helps to see what the final goal is! This book is more than just muffins too, the quick breads are delicious and my family all have their favorites now. I use this cookbook at least once a week, if not more. Also, many of the muffin recipes freeze well (chocolate chip, banana-walnut, lemon-poppyseed) so I can double up batches and freeze them for the kids. 35 seconds in the microwave and they taste fresh! If you like to bake, this is a must in your collection : )

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Follow Recipes, Great Tasting Muffins January 27, 2004
Format:Hardcover
The great thing about the Williams Sonoma series are the detailed tips and instructions at the back. In the Muffins book, this includes adjusting cooking times to make jumbo or miniature muffins instead of standard size, tips on getting the muffins out of different types of pans, and substitutions for common ingredients. Each recipe has a gorgeous photo, easy-to-follow instructions, and short tips on the key ingredients (such as the difference between sweet and sour cherries and tips on buying them fresh, frozen or canned). The book includes not only sweet and savory muffins of many different varieties, but coffee cakes and similar items as well. I brought the first two recipes I tried, raspberry muffins and chocolate chip muffins, to work, and they disappeared faster and got more raves than anything else I've brought in, and they were far easier to make than anything else. I'll never eat store-bought again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have! July 23, 2005
Format:Hardcover
I've been baking and cooking for awhile now and have mastered pretty much everything but hadn't had a really good muffin.This cookbook is a must have for anyone,no matter if you are a first-timer or a pro.All the recipes are delicious,they come out looking exactly as they do in the pictures,and all the instructions are simple to follow.The recipes don't call for any exotic ingredients,just basic things that are always on hand.Again,the recipes are simple but delicious,elegant,and real crowd pleasers.The time it takes to prepare and bake these muffins are all pretty much under 45 minutes.I think this book would also be great for children who are learning to bake and are new to the kitchen.
