The Muffin Lady by Linda Fisher

The Muffin Lady by Linda Fisher

Her name is Linda Fisher, -the muffin lady', and she was a twice-divorced local baker struggling to nurture her own baking business and stay off welfare. Rain or shine, Linda cut a familiar figure as she transported her special muffins and other baked goods in a radio flyer wagon to her hungry customers. All was going well until the Carroll County Health Department stopped her mid-route one day in January, ordering her to pack it in because she lacked a department-approved commercial kitchen. The decision set off a storm of controversy and protest, making Linda's customers irate and setting off a flood of debate and media attention. But you can't keep a good baker down. When James Bangerd III, president of Westmister's volunteer fire department, saw Linda's plight, he offered her the use of the department's state-approved kitchen in return for some of her tasty baked treats. And today, Linda's back at work, delivering muffins to her satisfied customers, and taking care of her 13-year-old son.aNow, for the first time in print, Linda presents a mouthwatering collection of over a hundred of her tastiest baking recipes. The book includes recipes for many of the muffins that have made her famous, including one based on her deceased mother's old pancake recipe. Also included will be recipes for a whole host of delightful cupcakes and quick breads.aLinda has years of experience and skill in the kitchen. She puts that skill to work in crafting simple, delicious, innovative, and easy-to-follow recipes that anyone can make.
