Book Reviews of The Donut Book
Book Review: Not a cook book
Summary: 3 Stars
This is really a history book, not a cook book. So it depends on what you are looking for!Book Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this book would have more recipes in it that I could use. Well, it doesn't. It's a great coffee table book. It's lovely to look at and very informative. If you're looking for the history of donuts and something to read while munching on one, here ya go. If you're looking for a cook book - look elsewhere.Book Review: OK Book
Summary: 3 Stars
HI! I bought this as a gift. As I looked through the book before wrapping it... I was not really happy about the contents. I hoped it would of showed a lot more pictures of donuts, design and recipes. It is really not what I would consider a cookbook/bakebook for donuts. So if that is what your looking for I am sure another book would be much better for you.
The cover design is the only great thing about this book and really the reason I bought it. I thought if they showed that many donuts on the cover Well then there must be loads inside...NOT!.
Book Review: Place next to your other bibles: Larousse or Fanny Farmer !
Summary: 5 Stars
What a amazing and informative book complete with recipes, historical and advertising minutiae, an IQ test (even!), geographical and ingredient tours plus a metaphysical (who knew?!) view about our sweet treat.
The author writes with such ease and fascination for her topic that I was hungry for more! And I not a donut eater! Buy it and eat!
Book Review: Purely Addictive! (Just like the donut itself)
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderfully entertaining and insightful book this is! Author Sally Levitt Steinberg writes so effortlessly, so breezily, that even readers like me (admittedly not a "foodie") won't be able to put the book down. Who would have guessed that a book about donuts could be so utterly fascinating?
