The popularity of muffins has exploded in recent years and this cookbook shows just how versatile a food they can be, with 100 foolproof recipes for tasty treats. Whether cooks are planning an original wedding cake or trying to lose weight without missing out on a mid-morning snack, there are recipes here that will work. In addition to recipes for traditional breakfast muffins, savory ones are also included that go perfectly with soup or salad. Bakers are given general secrets to successful baking, information on preparation and food storage, advice on cooking from frozen, and a troubleshooting guide. Recipes are broken into such categories as breakfast; kids; low-fat, low-carb, fat-free and sugar-free; classics; savory; holiday-themed; and scones. Lastly, special diets are accounted for, with sections of wheat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, high-fiber, low-cholesterol, lactose-free, diabetic, and egg-free recipes.
This was a British author's take on muffins and scones, though not a very original one in my opinion. There are about four recipes in here that I would like to try, which caught my attention: Blueberry Cinnamon Scones, Sticky Ginger and Golden Syrup Muffins, Oatmeal and Raspberry Muffins and Lemon & Lavender Birthday Muffins. 2 stars.
