Summary: Easy to Follow Recipes, Great Tasting Muffins
Review: The great thing about the Williams Sonoma series are the detailed tips and instructions at the back. In the Muffins book, this includes adjusting cooking times to make jumbo or miniature muffins instead of standard size, tips on getting the muffins out of different types of pans, and substitutions for common ingredients. Each recipe has a gorgeous photo, easy-to-follow instructions, and short tips on the key ingredients (such as the difference between sweet and sour cherries and tips on buying them fresh, frozen or canned). The book includes not only sweet and savory muffins of many different varieties, but coffee cakes and similar items as well. I brought the first two recipes I tried, raspberry muffins and chocolate chip muffins, to work, and they disappeared faster and got more raves than anything else I've brought in, and they were far easier to make than anything else. I'll never eat store-bought again.
