Il signor Van Alstyne crea incantevoli narrazioni fantasy e folkloristiche che affascinano sia bambini che adulti. Le sue fantasiose storie sono condite con le ricche esperienze di uno chef, tracciando paralleli tra l'arte della pasticceria e la magia della narrazione. Avendo esplorato il folklore e la mitologia globale, infonde alla sua scrittura un senso di meraviglia e scoperta, che ricorda i narratori classici. La sua prospettiva unica, che spesso presenta protagonisti che condividono la sua passione per la creazione culinaria, offre un delizioso mix di comfort e avventura.
