Book Description

16 Mar 2012 Lonely Planet General Pictorial
Lonely Planet's The World's Best Street Food: Where to find it & how to make it!

A little known culinary secret is that the world's best sandwich isn't found in Rome, Copenhagen or even New York, but rather, on the streets of Vietnam! The street is where you ll find the heart of a cuisine and its culture somewhere among the taco carts and noodle stalls, the scent of wood fires and the hubbub of fellow diners.

Bring the world s greatest street foods to your home with this compendium of classic recipes.

- 100 authentic recipes with simple, clear instructions for perfect preparation.
- Glossary of exotic ingredients with easy-to-find alternatives.
- Evocative profiles of each dish show you where to find the best examples when you re on the road.
- Written by food writers from around the world with an introduction by Tom Parker Bowles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Around the world in 80 meals (and 20 sweets) 19 April 2012
By Paolo Sammut VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
This is one of the best cookery books I have come across in a long time simply for its pure variety and "difference factor". The worlds best street foods takes you around 80 savoury dishes and 20 sweet dishes which are popular as street food dishes representing a particular culture. So we Scicilian Arancino, Maltese pastizzi, Phat Thai from Thailand and Cornish Pasties from ancient Kingdom of Cornwall. The selection covers all continents except antartica (and thats probably just becuase there are no good penguin recipes) and the choices are spectacular covering popular favourites and lots of new dishes still unknown except inside their particular region.

Each sections follows a pattern, beginning with a description as to what the food is. There is always a picture of the food, but the description helps to fill out the details less apparent in the photo. We then get to explore the origin of the food and finally get some instructions on how to eat this in its native area (as well as some good places to go). Finally we get the recipe itself and sometimes, notes on variations.

Everything is well presented and clear and the recipies are easy to follow and fairly straightforward - remember this is street food meant to be cooked quickly and server to people in the street.

Very highly recommended for travellers and foodies alike.

By D&D TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Yes, as far as I can tell, the recipes are authentic.
Yes, they are among the most popular of the street foods that we explored in those countries we too have visited (over half the countries covered in the book).
Yes, these days at least 80% of the ingredients can be sourced in larger cities - and the rest are probably available by mail order if you are keen to try a particular recipe.

Each dish is given two facing pages, including a photo of the dish. Also, one of the pages contains the recipe and good instructions while the other covers "what is it", "tasting" (an evocative explanation of the actual experience of buying and eating it), "origin" and "finding it" as well as either tips or variations.

Well thought through, well set out, well designed - an excellent offering from the Lonely Planet publishers.
