Amazing! July 20, 2006

This is my favorite go to cookbook for prep ahead breakfast. The recipes are delicious every time. And, when guests arrive I don't have to worry 'Will the recipe turn out'.
There are more than just muffins in the book. There are breads and coffee cakes. As I type this I am eating the Spiced Apple Coffee Cake. The recipes aren't complicated. In fact, they are very simple and call for ordinary ingrediants. But, who would have thought that you could make a muffin that tastes like a dognut! Williams Sonoma did, and it does. The secret ingrediant? Buttermilk.
Other favorites of mine in the book are the rasberry muffins, the jam filled muffins, the chocolate chip muffins, and the pear muffins. I have used the batter for the rasberry muffins with many other fruits - one of our favorites is peaches. This books gives you an awesome base and you can mix and match and get creative without worry! I made my sister a batch of the cherry muffins with the coconut topping and plan on baking more when she delivers her first child...
Excellent for a beginner and tasty enough for the expert cook.

This W-S Collection of muffins is priceless! Every muffin recipe I have tried--7 so far--has been delicious. I also used the orange-nut bread recipe to make muffins and had great results. The collection includes recipes for coffee cakes too and every recipe in the book has a beautiful full page color photograph. This wonderful book would be a standout in anyone's collection.

I find an excellent book and particularly the salted recipes. Those of jalapeno are really delicious, here in Mexico we eat a lot of chili and that recipe loved to my family. I also made those of goat cheese with tomato, only I made a variable, I changed the fresh tomato for dehydrated tomato and them they gave a very special and delicious touch. I made those of cinnamon, but it happened me something terrible, the recipe says that I should use 1 1/2 teaspoon of powder of baking and 1/2 of baking soda, but I confused the recipe and I used 1 1/2 of baking soda and you will already be able to imagine that almost they explode later in the point oven that they weighed, they descended and they were awful, it was impossible to eat them because they came undone!! Then I made them with the exact proportions again and they were very good. I really find the book good, here in Mexico we can get books of Williams-Sonoma, but this of Muffins I have not seen it in any bookstore. It is for that reason that it loved so much to my family, because it was a novelty for them.
A must have! July 23, 2005

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.

Out of this collection by William's-Sonoma I think that this book and their Cookie book are my favorites. Overall I found the recipes in the muffin book to be clear, concise, and easy to follow with good results. I also liked the fact that the recipes mainly called for common ingredients and were quick to make.
My two favorite muffins in the book were the cheese and the blueberry muffin recipes. Although the cheese muffin recipe was more like bread, it was hearty, warm, and absolutely perfect for a cold day. If you are looking for a well-rounded collection of muffin recipes I would recommend that you purchase this book.
