Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The basic premise of Street Food is just brilliant. A survey of food cooked and/or eaten on the streets of cities around the world promises some of the most excitingly vivid eating imaginable. So it proves: continent by continent, Clare Ferguson delivers. The Americas: Hush Puppies, Corn Dogs and Cheeseburgers from the North, Chicken in Banana Leaves, Tortilla Wraps and Jerk Pork from the Latin South and the Caribbean. Europe: Italian Pizzas and Ice Cream, Scottish Fish and Chips, Greek Tiropitakia (fried cheese pastries). Africa and the Middle East: Turkish Lamb Pies, Iranian Roasted Beetroot, Nigerian Caraway Pastries. India: Samosas, Tandoori Chicken (a particularly good version of this favourite) and Mango Kulfi. Southeast Asia: Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup, Philippines Pork Spring Rolls, Burmese Coconut Ice-Cream. China, Japan and Korea: Fried Wonton Dumplings, Tempura, Korean Barbecued Beef. When the book reaches Australia and New Zealand, the sheer variety goes into overdrive, with cuisines from all over the world contributing to these young nations: Vietnamese Pork Satays, Lebanese Souvlaki and Hokey Pokey (Scottish-Italian honeycomb toffee ice-cream). Street food at its best is pure pleasure. It has to be. Why else pay for it and eat it? Pure pleasure is what Street Food offers in abundance. This is a fabulous collection, evocatively written, beautifully designed and ravishingly illustrated. Everyone will regret the omission of that one item that, for them, epitomised the experience of eating in the street. Mine would be the spicy, charred bratwurst grilled over fruit wood at a stall in one of Berlin's Christmas markets, smeared with mustard and eaten in a roll, washed down with hot mulled wine. I'm sure Clare Ferguson meant to include it had her publishers allowed her more space. --Robin Davidson

By A Customer
This review is from: Street Food (Hardcover)
As a restaurant specialising in little dishes of world cuisine, I found this book to be fantastic. I have on my menu at least 5 of the recipes including lumpia, wontons, and tempura. Its got great snaps, fairly good instructions and althought not definitive covers the worlds street food excellently.Well worth the dough! Chef John

Better than a Coney Island Hot Dog...,
By Bonnie Burton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Street Food (Ryland, Peters and Small International Cookbooks , Vol 1, No 4) (Hardcover)
If you're a big fan of munching on pizza by the slice, soft pretzels and hot dogs smothered in sauerkraut bought from cornervending stands, then you're in for a treat with the cookbook Street Food. This cookbook takes you all over the world to show you what people are eating on the run. From hush puppies, corn dogs and cheeseburgers in the States to Chicken in Banana Leaves, Tortilla Wraps and Jerk Pork from the Latin South and the Caribbean. There are too many tasty recipes to list here, but some highlights include: Scottish Fish and Chips, Greek Tiropitakia (fried cheese pastries), Turkish Lamb Pies, Iranian Roasted Beetroot, Tandoori Chicken, Philippines Pork Spring Rolls, Burmese Coconut Ice Cream, Hokey Pokey (Scottish-Italian honeycomb toffee ice-cream) and Lebanese Souvlaki. The book not only has stomach-growling recipes from across the globe, but also features beautiful photographs of the countries and its people eating as they walk through busy city streets.
