Maximum Value for Minimum Price!
This is an excellent cookbook! After buying it on impulse at a book fair, I found I couldn't wait to start baking after flipping through some of the recipes. The book is divided into several sections, such as Classic Muffins and Party Muffins. I made 4 different recipes in one night. The Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins were light and delicious and the Caramel Apple Muffins were a big hit with my collegues at work. I also made the recipe for the Chocolate Sour Cherry Muffins with out the cherries and they were still delicious as were the Raspberry Cheesecake Muffins. As the book states, many of these muffins could substitute as cupcakes at children's parties or in lunch boxes. For the inexpensive ... price, I think this book is a must-have for all muffin lovers!

great, simple recipes
it's a small book! that was my first surprise when it came to my door. but as we all know, size doesn't always matter, and this book's the best proof of all. lots of easy-to-do, drool-worthy recipes to choose from! it has various sections for savory muffins, party muffins and even healthy muffins [to make it a touch less sinful...].
can't wait to try even more of those recipes.

Your "baby" muffin book
My initial thought in purchasing this literally tiny book was that it would be "nice" to have a little reference guide, of sorts. You know, nothing as grand as my "real" baking books, baking snob that I am. I was very wrong, much to my delight!

As they say, never just a book by it's cover or a dogs bite by its bark and so it goes for this little marvel of a muffin book as well. It has some of the best muffin creations that I've tasted and I have only just gotten started.

The book itself is about 5 x 5-1/2 inches in size, thin, and as light as the muffin recipes contained within. There are no photo's, no heavy or glossy pictures, or anything remarkable except for the 12 grand recipes that will fill your insides with some of the sweetest delectables you ever made in a paper liner. Helen Siegel and Karen Gillingham have written a wonderful ode to the muffin, which can be our salvation on any crazy or lazy morning. The book starts with an introduction on the "muffin" and the muffin person, along with some encouragement to get started. Then you get an interesting "baking soda vs baking powder" education which for the average baker, is a mini-chemitry course; a conversion table comes next, and then the fun begins:

Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins
Banana Walnut Muffins
Pumpkin Currant Muffins
Applesacue Spice Muffins
Strawberry Streusel Muffins
Basic Corn Muffins
Refrigerator Bran Muffins
Carrot Raisin Muffins
Almond Poppy Seed Muffins
Apricot Sourdough Muffins
Date Nut Muffins
Butter-Dipped Pear Muffins

I made the Blueberry Buttermilk Muffins as they directed but instead of the pan for 12 regular size muffins, I used the king-sized muffin pan and made 6. They came out the size of your head and were absolutely superb; the buttermilk made all the difference. As an extra note, for those on a gluten-free diet, "substitute" flours work well also.

As an extra thought about this book, I decided to order more of theses powerful little teachers of taste, and make a "muffin gift basket" that has this wonderful little book tucked inside. I have family and friends that are hard to buy for, and who really don't need anything, but a festive collection of muffin-making items, along with "Totally Muffins Cookbook", all tied up with ribbon and raffia, will be a cherished way of celebrating a special day for them. Thank you so much Helene and Karen!!
