| The recipes in this charming series of books are arranged in alphabetical order with two or three recipes per letter. But these pretty little books (about 6 1/2 inches square) are more than recipes. Beginning with the dedication page and opening essay each is reminiscent of events in the author's childhood that influenced her interest in food and cooking. |

| Muffins A to Z is dedicated to Seraphina, Simmons first grandchild. The essay talks about Simmons job as a teenager in her Uncle Joe's dinner and the only muffins that he served there: crumbly corn meal muffins and dense rich bran muffins. She then goes on to explore the muffin mania that took hold in the 90's and her attempt to strike a balance between muffins in as many flavors as new wave ice creams and the sensible sturdy muffins of her teenage years. |
