Lovely Little Book, Worth the Price May 12, 2006
I've had this tiny book for about ten years and I really enjoy having it around. Although sometimes she requests for you to obtain unusual ingredients--like walnut oil instead of regular oil (to add a nutty taste without adding more nuts)--it is by far the best little collection of muffins I've ever come across. The chocolate zucchini spice muffins are *not* to be missed, especially if you love zucchini bread and have avoided it because of the fat. (This particular recipe calls for walnut oil, but I've always made it with whatever cooking oil I've had on hand and it tastes marvelous).
The recipes, I'd like to note, are all very original, not a rehash of the muffin repertoire you've seen before. There's Hazlenut-Pear Muffins, English-Muffin Muffins (I'm baking these tomorrow), and Sweet Potato Streusel Muffins.
You will not regret buying this little gem of a book. It's an elegant little collection and (nearly) guilt-free to boot.
Best Book for Your Muffin Needs December 22, 2002

I checked this book out of the library and had to have it! It's wonderful -- it gives a basic muffin recipe that you can add to, and then many many wonderful recipes such as oatmeal banana. She tells you how to adjust the recipes for your taste (can you use egg whites instead of eggs to make the muffin even lighter? yes, but they won't brown as well). This is also a wonderful gift to give, in a basket with some muffins made from the book's recipes!

The recipes in this book are wonderful, I especially enjoy the orange muffins and the brown bread muffins. The quick jams are not really jelly-like, much more runny, but still tasty. I am looking forward to trying even more of the recipes in this so far no fail book!
Managing your muffins April 9, 2000

This delightful,slim volume is incredibly easy to use, with a great variety of tips & tricks for virtually fool-proof muffins. Best of all, the recipes cover the gamut from no-fat to low-fat, with no sacrifice of flavor or texture. Sweet or savory, they are all good. Among my favorites, pineapple corn muffins & blueberry creme muffins. My sister, an accomplished baker, swears by the Irish soda bread muffins, and the no-fat blueberry jam recipe.
