M. Van Alstyne crée d'enchantadores récits de fantaisie et de folklore qui captivent les enfants comme les adultes. Ses histoires imaginatives sont assaisonnées par les riches expériences d'un chef, établissant des parallèles entre l'art de la pâtisserie et la magie de la narration. Ayant exploré le folklore et la mythologie mondiaux, il imprègne son écriture d'un sentiment d'émerveillement et de découverte, rappelant les conteurs classiques. Sa perspective unique, mettant souvent en scène des protagonistes qui partagent sa passion pour la création culinaire, offre un délicieux mélange de réconfort et d'aventure.
