 Muffins, great and not so great May 9, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was so excited to see The Muffin Lady Book on Amazon. I think Lindas story is wonderful. How ever, I am a food service manager, and I have baked thousands of muffins. I just took two dozen Strawbeyy -Cream out of the oven. I dont know why, but these muffins do not crown. I am going to go back and stick with Muffins my Elizabeth Alston. The blueberry are bar none. Best to you and your muffins, Nancy.
 Chocolate chip muffins and my dentist March 29, 2005

Though I have a good collection of cookbooks, this is one that I use on a regular basis. I have searched for years for great baking recipes, and have found them in this book. I enjoy the background she gives on why she uses certain ingredients, what worked and what didn't. The hint about using wax paper for liners was the best tip! The blueberry and banana nut muffin recipes are superb and most requested in my house. Our family dentist requested Chocolate Chip muffins, and I was able to make him some that he raves about. I dare not go now without taking the office some. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that loves to bake!
 Why all the Mace???? April 28, 2003

Everything she bakes has mace in it-wonder why-I don't think its such a spectacular ingredient but the muffins are tasty and always turn out well-could do with less of her life story though. It's interesting but long winded.
Stick to the recipes July 17, 2002

The recipes in this book are excellent. I don't think I have ever tasted a better banana nut muffin - or one that froze as well! My complaint is the accompanying dialog about the author's life. She had a hard life and made a real name for herself with hard work and dedication to her skill as a baker. That's all you need to know. I didn't need photos of her father or the kids. All in all, I highly recommend this book (especially for the strawberry muffins stuffed with cream cheese!!!) It's easy to ignore the chatter and stick to the best muffins you'll bake.
The best muffins, ever October 23, 2001

I have made many of the muffins out this book and you can believe me that they come out of the oven and poeple fall on them and devour them. I have made muffins before that have been pale, small and tasteless, but once I started making Linda Fisher's muffins, I have had wonderful results. My favorites are the orange-cranberry muffins and the chocolate chip muffins, although much can be said for the banana-nut ones too. I like it that once you know the basic recipe, setting up the muffins is very easy. You could make a basic mix from the dry ingredients and just add the spices, fats, eggs, and other additions to make the ones you like. BUY THIS BOOK!
