Reviews for The Donut Chef

Review, Cookie Magazine, September 2008: The pro-simplicity parable is told via a funny, funky art style. Review, The Wall Street Journal, September 20-21, 2008: Some books are meant to be tasted. . . and The Donut Chef appears to be one of them. Mr Staake's work is . . . visually delicious. Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, October 27, 2008: Everywhere readers look, there are delectable surprises.
