Book Reviews of The Donut Book
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: It's a lot more interesting than any book of recipes!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a wonderful example of a food-and-culture book, full of history, and people stories, and fascinating information and lore. It's a delight, and you will love it! People don't seem to realize that it is not meant to be a cookbook, and for no good reason they expect lots of recipes. It's a lot more interesting than any book of recipes!
Book Review: Donut Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is delightful. I ordered it after reading the reviews on it. I understood that it was not really considered a cookbook, however it has some good recipes in it. Reading the history behind donuts was very inspirational and interesting. It made me want to make donuts more than ever. It is a good coffee table book as previously stated.Book Review: A donut history blending fiction, fact, pictures, and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
The hole truth and nothing but is revealed in Sally Levitt Steinberg's The Donut Book, a 'bible' of donut history blending fiction, fact, pictures and fun. Yes, there are almost thirty recipes here - but don't buy The Donut Book for its recipes alone; it's the background history and whimsical cultural insights which makes for such a winner.
