And if anybody knows donuts, it's Sally Levitt Steinberg, America's Donut Princess. As a member of America's royal donut dynasty (her grandfather, Adolph Levitt, invented the donut-making machine), she knows more about this sweet indulgence than anyone else. The Donut Book is the product of Sally's great personal charm and life-long, in-depth donut scholarship.
She covers high points in donut history: the arrival of the first donuts in America with the Dutch settlers in the 17th century, and the donut in World War I, when it became the favorite nosh of the boys in the trenches. She celebrates donut-loving celebrities, from Admiral Byrd to Bill Clinton, as well as some of the most gifted donut bakers on the planet. She visits the campus of Dunkin' Donuts University and reveals the secret that makes Krispy Kreme donuts irresistible. And she identifies the most popular donut in America (glazed) and the runner-up (chocolate).
Then there are the recipes: 29 mouth-watering, soul-satisfying ways to achieve the ultimate sugar rush, from New Orleans beignets to Portuguese malasadas, from Boston crèmes to Alain Ducasse's upscale Donut. And for donut lovers who are willing to hit the road to find their favorite confection, the book comes with an illustrated Donut Lover's Guide to bakeries that serve up the lightest, fluffiest, best dressed, and tastiest donuts. | | | Features: | |

 nice book BUT alittle disappointedJul 27, 2010
I purchased "The Donut Book" online from Amazon.com Service and shipping was excellant! HOWEVER The book makes a nice "coffee table book" with lots of donut triva and photos BUT I was alittle disappointed, was expecting more of a "cookbook" with many more recipes and/or hints for making donuts!
Fun recipes, don't like the organization of the bookJul 21, 2010
It wasn't what I pictured. This isn't a normal recipe book. It's a history of donuts with recipes in it. I wish it had more donut recipes.
Not a cook bookApr 26, 2010
This is really a history book, not a cook book. So it depends on what you are looking for!
 For the love of DonutsNov 27, 2009
A fun walk down memory lane. The book is very retro in feel, which stylisticly is appealing. And the recipes are yummy. I say buy the book and include a box of Dunkin Donuts as a gift to your favorite donut lover.
 should be called a donut historyOct 19, 2009
I purchased this book because amazon recomended it to go with the doughnut baking pan I purchased, however there are no recipes in this book for use with this pan. If you want a history and photos of doughnuts this is fine , but if you want baked doughnut recipes look elsewhere.
