Product Description
The Urban Cookbook is an indepth investigation into five great cities where the street sets the creative agenda: New York, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and London. After a general introduction, King Adz tells the story of his trip to each of the five cities, takes the reader on a walk around neighbourhoods that buzz with street life, where the best food can be found, and talks to the keenest creative talents â photographers, illustrators, designers, graphic and graffiti artists, skaters, DJs, club owners, musicians, talent scouts and internet entrepreneurs. Then he offers eight recipes from which to cook up dishes that he ate on the streets of the city, and detailed descriptions of their work by a couple of his talents â anything from Rodney Smithâs skate products to Miss Blackbirdyâs original fashions, Tristan Eatonâs vinyl toys and Jonathan Olleyâs pukka photos. The result is a feast of a wholly original kind, born out of the edgy rugged culture of the street.

New type of book for a creative generation
11 April 2012
A fascinating read from start to finish, this collection of culture and food deserves a spot in anyone's shelf. It provides overviews for some major cities of the world and has enough detail to inspire you to actually go to them. This is the first major book of an up and coming author that I would love to see more of.

Great coffee table book but other than that not much to it. I thought there would be more cooking recipes maybe more pics
Full of flavor, this book is dope
19 Mar 2010
Format:Hardcover
I love flipping through this book when I'm bored. I've only dared to try one of the recipes (I'm a horrible cook) but the food amounts to less than half of this books contents. The bleeding edge photos and graphics mean you'll always find something new when you pick it up. The narrative is trendy, almost hipster, but it's got more than enough flavor to keep it out of the corn. Lots of fresh finds that open your eyes to some new artistic styles are to be found here. If you're in to hip hop and graphic design (as I am), you'll absolutely love this book. There is something to be said about the unique fusion of urban art, food, and music which the author does tastefully well.
