Anderson includes all muffins great and small in this book andmdash;
beloved classics like blueberry, tempting newbies like Falafel Muffin Tops, and those muffins that border on dessert territory (looking at you, Swirled Mocha). I especially love her spread of savory muffins here andmdash; lots of choices for those of us who prefer savory breakfasts, plus many of them double as easy side dishes for dinners and potlucks.andquot;
andmdash;The Kitchn
andquot;After sharing muffin-making fundamentals, including how to measure ingredients and mix batters, food writer and James Beard Hall of Fame inductee Anderson (From a Southern Oven) presents 70 recipes that skew more savory than sweet. A firm believer that muffins should not be cupcakes, the author fills hers with substantial and sometimes unusual ingredients such as country ham, hard-cooked eggs, rye flour, and freeze-dried corn powder. Readers whoandrsquo;d like muffins on their table every day will appreciate that Andersonandrsquo;s recipes (e.g., butternut-pine nut muffins, honeyed whole-wheat English muffins, falafel muffin tops) are lighter and more nutrient-dense than average. Theyandrsquo;re also, as Anderson points out, excellent entry points for young cooks learning to bake.
VERDICT: Need a break from bakery and coffee shopandndash;style muffins? Andersonandrsquo;s collection offers new variations on a traditional treat.andquot;
