Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this from my cookbook club, but decided to post here on amazon , too. I have countless baking cookbooks, but this one is moving front and center as a new favorite. I have two other cookbooks by Camilla and have watched her on the Food Network many times. Every recipe creation I've tried from her has not just been good, but outstanding. I think she is extraordinarily talented.--not only are the recipes innovative, but her instructions are crystal clear, making it near-impossible to go wrong. My first thought when I saw "750 muffins" was "really???" But when you see the book, it makes perfect sense--it's like 9 complete books in one, each chapter (e.g., classics, morning muffins, savory muffins, farmer's market muffins, vegan muffins, etc). can stand alone--like 9 books for the price of 1.
Although I am excited by all of the muffins, the global muffins chapter and the farmer's market chapters are absolutely thrilling. Made the Gajar Halva Carrot Muffins for my book group (Indian-inspired muffins with cardamom & pistachios. There's a gorgeous photo of them in the book) -as we were reading a collection of Indian short stories. I believe we spent more time talking about the muffins than the book--this is one of the most delicious baked goods I've ever made.
From the Farmer's Market chapter I've already made the blueberry goat cheese muffins (to die for) and could not resist trying the Kale & Toasted Walnut muffins (I had a heaps of kale in my CSA box). Spectacular!!! Served them with a white bean soup. Who would have thought Kale would work perfectly in a muffin? Camilla, that's who.
This is a beautiful book in every sense, and I'm a tough critic. Brava, Ms. Saulsbury!!!
