Susan Feniger's Street Food: Irresistibly Crispy, Creamy, Crunchy, Spicy, Sticky, Sweet Recipes Hardcover – 14 Sept. 2012
On her globe-trotting adventures, with cooking and eating as the only shared language, Susan has forged friendships with rice farmers in Vietnam, women baking flatbread in Turkey, and nomadic cheesemakers in Mongolia. She’s become an expert on combining spices and ingredients to re-create authentic mind-blowing flavors back home. One bite of Artichokes with Lemon Za’atar Dipping Sauce confirms that they should never be eaten another way, and dinner should always be as enticing as crunchy and refreshing Saigon Chicken Salad, delicious Thai Drunken Shrimp with Rice Noodles, or sweet-savory Korean Glazed Short Ribs with Sesame and Asian Pear. Drinks, condiments, and sweets—such as indulgent and alluring Turkish Doughnuts with Rose Hip Jam—round out the recipe collection.
Susan’s personal travel stories and vacation snapshots inspire at every turn. Her expert tips on ingredients and easy substitutions, along with more than 100 color photographs, make Susan Feniger’s Street Food the perfect guide for home cooks looking to shake up their cooking repertoires with exciting new flavors.

Suzan Feniger did a great job compiling recipe from around the world.
Book to have in your kitchen to delight your friend and family and should also be in any western chef's bookshelve if he want's to go beyond what he knows and learned before.
In the introduction, Susan Feniger explains that "aren't we all sick of making the same dishes over and over, mac 'n' cheese and blueberry muffins aside?" Her goal was to write a book that would share her love of street food around the world, and push the home cook to try new and exciting flavors. The book hits the mark, not just because of the recipes, but because Feniger is an entertaining and friendly guide to these places, the people, and their food.
I am puzzled by a previous reviewer stating that this is a vegan cookbook - it is not, but many of the recipes can be converted to vegetarian, or in some cases, vegan, by simply eliminating the fish or meat and substituting tofu or tempeh. While some of the recipes have a short list of ingredients, others require many ingredients. Where possible, Feniger provides easier-to-find substitutions for some of them. The good news is that with the internet, you can order a lot of the shelf-stable ingredients (palm sugar, rock sugar, etc.) from Amazon, Kalustyan's, or My Spice Sage. Almost every dish is accompanied by a photo.
As for the recipes, I've tried three: Cheese Grits with Three Pepper Relish, Malaysian Black Pepper Clams, and Chilled Soba Noodles with Spicy Orange Sesame and Tofu. All three of them were delicious (I made minor adjustments for my family's tastes). If you want to see other recipes, click on the "search inside the book" option at the top of the page to view recipes and see the table of contents. I am looking forward to trying many more of the recipes in this fun book!
