Praise for earlier editions of Muffins: Fast and Fantastic

“If you like making muffins, you will learn more from this book … than from anywhere else. The photographs are moreish, the combinations yummy and everything is explained in the painstaking detail that pretty well guarantees a perfect result.”

— Orlando Murrin, BBC Good Food Magazine

“Even allowing for my boyish hyperbole, and growing enthusiasm for the muffin, this is surely the definitive book on the subject. The lemon muffins are brill, with a swaggering citric dash to them, the apple spice ones are superb too; so’s the banana and chocoate chip—the stuff of childhood dreams. But let me tell you: Susan’s carrot pineapple muffins are to die for….”

— Bill Clapperton, Edinburgh Evening News

“A cookery book … which is mouthwateringly delightful … Because the book is aimed at the British market, with the British oven and cook in mind, it’s designed to make even the worst cook produce magnificent muffins.”

— Fiona Tarrant, Oxford Times

And a selection from our letter writers:

“I am an avid collector of cookery books and I have hundreds (not an exaggeration!). Even though I don’t get to use them as often as I would like (I have three daughters of 5, 4, and 2) I can’t stop collecting them (maybe it’s some sort of counselling I need!). But I can say, out of the hundreds I have, and some were very expensive and very big, my absolute favourite, ‘CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT’ book is Muffins. Such a cheap, small book and yet it has proved to be the most useful that I have.”
Jacqueline Stewart, Lanarkshire

“Could I just tell you how much I am enjoying your book Muffins: Fast and Fantastic? All questions are answered as I think of them and every recipe has worked and been delicious!!”
Elizabeth McKnight, County Down

“My compliments for producing such a splendid recipe book! I am a Home Economist, working in a variety of areas addressing food issues…. Home-made muffins are an attractive and convenient way of replacing expensive commercial confectionary with the addition of being healthier.”
Mrs M. McPheat, Solihull

“I should be very grateful if you would congratulate the author, Susan Reimer, on an excellent recipe book. My husband is really the cook in this house but even I am receiving compliments on my muffin-making! We love the book! We love the muffins!”
Mrs S. Neame, Dorset

“Last year my husband and I spent a holiday in Toronto, which we greatly enjoyed. My husband is a lover of muffins…. Consequently, while in the huge bookshop in Toronto I discovered a [Canadian] muffin book and bought a copy…. No matter how many times I tried the recipes, I had no success. I tried altering the amount of baking powder etc, to no avail. Then I read the article about you … and made a point of buying a copy of your book. Yesterday, armed with some fresh rhubarb from our allotment, I made rhubarb muffins. Needless to say they were a complete success and I now have one happy husband.”
Dorothy Long, Tyne & Wear

“Over the years I’ve had attempts at muffin-making but the texture was never right. Now, after reading your notes on muffin-making, the texture is right every time.”
Evelyn Hughes, Hampshire
