My publisher has a distributor in Australia, so yes, my books should be available for you. Ask a local bookstore to bring one in - or try amazon too. If you aren't finding my books after that, let me know - you can order them from the Australian distributor too I think. <BR/><BR/>binx, that is WRONG. Just plain wrong!! I get irked to see people taking samples of candies out of bulk bins. Taking whole muffin tops? nasty!<BR/><BR/>Jesse, I use organic canola oil in my own cooking, and with my next reprint I'm going to be sure to indicate organic canola oil, because the topic of canola oil causes much confusion and debate too. Organic canola is not genetically modified, and avoids any concerns of using canola oil that is gm'd. And, canola oil is not the same as rapeseed oil, which causes some of the confusion as rapeseed is high in erucic acid. Anyhow, in short, I plan to put that edit in my book. Also, in terms of cooking with oils, most oils will break down some with high heat cooking, and so for high heat frying I have been choosing organic coconut oil - and in baking some too - however, organic canola oil is more flexible in baking, and baking does not involve the level of high heats as frying. That might be more than you needed/wanted to know! - but I thought I'd address it (briefly) for those interested, and since I still haven't heard from my lost e-mailer!<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone, enjoy the muffins (and NO muffin-stealing in stores, okay? - no need, I know none of my blog followers would ever do that). :)Dreenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16551890320761504899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-51154895340232007942008-07-21T11:53:00.000-07:002008-07-21T11:53:00.000-07:00I love this recipe...and think I have just the occ...I love this recipe...and think I have just the occasion to try it out coming up !<BR/><BR/>As an aside about the oil discussion, I recently bought a big bottle of nice grapeseed oil, which I've been using in almost all my baking. It's been working great for me: a heart healthy oil with a high smoke point and a nice, subtle flavour. It's health benefits are well documented, and has none of the question marks that surround the effect canola oil has on the body.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842959126154860940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-4558635799346958412008-07-21T08:41:00.000-07:002008-07-21T08:41:00.000-07:00I love that this recipe uses the whole can of pump...I love that this recipe uses the whole can of pumpkin!!!
