Not good totally tasted of baking powder and soda also orange was overwhelming. Error on this recipe because it doesn't say when to add brown sugar I totally forgot and had to dump batter out of cups and add it. -
I chose this recipe for the Oz/NZ Regional Tour. I loved the flavor of these muffins...orange and just a hint of chocolate. Wonderful combination! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Here in Australia, we are blessed with an abundance of beautiful fresh produce, and our multi-cultural background has given us lots of wonderful tastes and styles.
I've loved food almost all my life (except for a bumpy early start...ate nothing but a slice of apple and a slice of cheese a day for my first two years!).
For me, cookbooks are a springboard - I have a taste "on my tongue", I search for appropriate inspiration and voila! something that owes a little to the book, my creativity, and whatever is in my kitchen! That said, I adore Vikki Leng's "A Vegetarian Kitchen" and travel happily through Sheila Lukin's "All Around The World Cookbook". Jamie Oliver is also a favourite, and I've just discovered the Williams-Sonoma baking books!
