1526.0. "BOOK: Muffin Cookbooks" by AIMHI::RAYMOND () Mon Nov 21 1988 19:54

    I am looking for a recipe book that has only muffin recipes.
    Has anyone seen or heard of such a book?  I realize that 
    they are several good muffin recipes in this file but I
    am also interested an entire book.
    
    Any and all help would be appreciated.

    You might try:
                     Country Kitchen Collection
                      p.o. Box 1314
                      Manchester, CT 06040
    
    Among their cookbooks include one titled "Mainly Muffins." I haven't
    seen it myself, so I can't vouch for it, but I do have their Soup
    Cookbook, which is very good. (Cost $2.95, app. 30 pages) It might
    be worth a try.

1526.2a few muffin booksLYMPH::RYDERSun Nov 27 1988 00:3233
    This is from my annotated list of bread cookbooks; an early version of
    the list appeared in note 891.5.  Of the books listed below, I only own
    Cutler's and Rosenberg's. 
    
	Albright & Weiner	$5 ppr
	Mostly Muffins					(D-513P)

	Alston, ?		$9 h
	Muffins						(D-514)

	Cutler, C		$6	ISBN 0-89256-317-6  1985 \r
	Carol Cutler's Great Fast Breads

		Pretty good book; organized by time, the total elapsed 
		time from start to table.  Four chapters: less than 30 
		minutes, less than 60, 90, and two hours. .........

	Greenberg & Kyte	$6 ppr		
	Muffins, Nut Breads and More			(D-538P)

	Makris, ?		$7 ppr	
	Delicious Quick Breads and Muffins		(B-411P)

	Rosenberg, L		$3 ppr	ISBN 0-942320-13-1  1986 \r
	Muffins and Cupcakes

		Not generally recommended.  Fancy fluff.
    
    Carol Cutler's book has six muffin recipes in the first chapter ---
    three-flour, pumpkin, ice-cream, blueberry, orange-raisin, and
    jiffy-fruit, but many bread cookbooks have at least that many muffin
    recipes.  (Tarr and Casella, for examples.)  You might do well to
    look at bread cookbooks is general.

I have sitting before me, the above-mentioned book.  It is titled "Muffins",
by Elizabeth Alston.  They list Clarkson N. Potter, Inc. as the publishers,
distributed by Crown Publishers, Inc. (New York).

It is subtitled "Sixty sweet and savory recipes...from old favorites to
new".  The individual chapters are:  Breakfast Muffins, Tea Muffins,
Savory Muffins, English Muffins, Special-diet Muffins, and Spreads &
Preserves.  I've made a couple of the recipes and they have turned out
very well.  For a cookbook specializing in muffins, I think this is a
good choice.  I bought it through Jessica's Biscuit, a mail order cookbook
source (sorry, I don't have a current catalog or the address).

Recipes include standbys such as blueberry and bran, but also branch out
into unusual ones like Oregon Hazlenut and Fig Muffins, or Golden Raisin
Rosemary Muffins or even Smoked Turkey, Wild Rice, and Mushroom Muffins!
Some great combinations and basic tips on how to bake and store muffins.

    re Note 1526.3  by Jan Brown
    
    Thank you for the book review, Jan.  I've taken the liberty of weaving
    it into my book list, and now I'll buy the book myself.  The numbers in
    parentheses in my book list are the catalog numbers at Jessica's
    Biscuit.  It happens that both the numbers and the prices are still
    current for the muffin books in 1526.2
    
    Jessica's Biscuit accepts telephone orders at 1-800-225-4264.  This
    mail order house is OK.
