This is the bible of tasty junk food from all over the world! It sounds amazing, right? Well the execution is amazing as well. There are appetizing pictures, instructions on how to make the food, and backstory about the origin if the dish and the cultural context. Usually you only get the cookbook side or the cultural side, but this book combines both from authors who have eaten and experienced these dishes in their native environment. As someone who loves to eat, and learn about different cultures, this was quite a home run. Best of all, you are being introduced to the snacks of the people, you won't find complicated and stuffy dishes that aren't really representative of their countries. You get a real taste of what the people eat. Be prepared for your mouth to water while perusing this book. The only thing that may be off, is the generalization of the description of some of these dishes. With the few I was familiar with, I couldn't help but feeling like there was sometimes an outsiders perspective and a weird understanding of the culture and dish in question. I'm no expert though, so you should judge the accuracy for yourself or take these descriptions with the understanding that many variations of these popular dishes exist. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoyed this journey into the many different snack that are popular around the world and really want to try making some of them. It's a great intro to food and flavors that I hadn't known about before.

It was like traveling to many countries without leaving my couch! It was fun to see recipes for perogi and cevapcici - also they eat chicken feet (like I did at my grandma's house) in South Africa! Great cooking tips ---

I haven't tried any thing from this book yet but I've read every recipe and can't wait to start. There is an easy to read guide on whether the recipes will be easy or hard to make, spicy or vegetarian, etc...

This is the second Lonely Planet guide I download on my Kindle and I can't say I'm impressed. These guides read more like newspaper articles than actual travel guides and lack information. Not interesting enough for me and definitely not worth downloading.

This is a combination guide to street food and cookbook. Each of the 100 entries consists of two pages. The first describes the food, how it’s eaten [that’s not always as self-evident to outsiders as one might think], its origins, where one can find a quintessential or famous example of the food, and whether there are any variants on the recipe. The second page is the cookbook entry, which lists the ingredients and describes the process by which they are combined to create the dish in question.
The foods are divided into broad categories of savory and sweet. The savory category is the larger by far, comprising 80 of the dishes—leaving 20 sweets. The dishes represent about 50 different countries of origin. A lot of these countries are well-known street food cultures such as Thailand, Vietnam, India, Mexico, and the US, but there are also a number of locales with which readers may be less familiar-- such as Ghana, Malta, and French Polynesia. The dishes include a number of my favorites, such as Vietnamese Banh Mi, US Breakfast Burrito, Indian Masala Dosa, Thai Pad Thai, Hungarian Langos, and Singaporean Hainanese Chicken Rice. However, I also learned of new dishes that I’m eager to try, such as Croatian Cevapcici, Burmese Mohinga, and Chilean Sopaipilla.
WARNING: While I didn’t deduct stars for it, I will warn readers that this isn’t a good book to get as an e-book—at least unless you have a high-end tablet. It was a bit of a pain to read on my Kindle Touch, and the graphics (which I assume are beautiful in the print edition) were largely useless on my device. One could blow up the text easily enough (within limits, at least,) but the pages got grainy if one blew them up too much—and some of the text remained small when expanded.
There are photos. As I mentioned, on my device they were largely useless (grainy black-and-white) but your results may vary.
I found this book to be interesting and informative. While I wish the e-book had been easier to read, it was well-organized and offered a broad selection of dishes from a large number of countries.
I’d recommend this book for street food lovers and foodies.

I thought this was a really good cookbook. Full colour photos on flossy paper, with an easy to follow legend that shows how hard the food is to prepare, how spicy it is, etc. Each recipe has a full page facing it with information about the food itself, like where it's from, some of the history, and where you can find the best vendors if you ever visit the country.
There were a lot of interesting looking recipes: I tried the churros (good, but with a texture like that of a cruller doughnut which personally isn't a favourite. :P). There are a lot of other recipes I'd like to try as well - I'll have to keep this book in mind in the future. :)
I have to admit there was also at least one recipe that while interesting to read about I can't see myself ever trying (Walkie Talkies). Interesting to see what is common to eat in other countries, though.
The only issue I would have is that a lot of the recipes obviously include ingredients that while easy to find in their countries of origin, may not be as easy to obtain for people reading the book elsewhere. I wanted to try one of the soups that called for fava (broad) beans, but haven't been able to find them so far, and from what I've read that's a fairly common ingredient across Europe. (Still a few places to check, though!)

This was a well-done cookbook and informational guide on street food and where you can find it. I liked that the cuisine was all over the globe and not just in one particular area. Each recipe starts with the title of the dish and what country it is from, what exactly is in the dish, what it tastes like, the origin, and a good place to find it in the country or origin (and most importantly, how much it costs to buy it). I was pleased to find a lot that I knew of, as well as a good many that I had never heard about. I, in particular, liked the recipes for Bo Bia (rice-paper Vietnamese rolls), Gozleme (Turkish stuffed flatbreads), Hotteok (South Korean dessert pancakes) and Jalebis' (Indian sweets). 4 stars.

Everything in this book looks amazing. So far I've only cooked Currywurst, which was lovely. It had very small portions though, even served with potatoes it could have done with being doubled if you want it to be part of a meal.
The one thing that confuses me is that I can't figure out if it's meant to be aimed at an American or British audience. Of course the writer is British, but sometimes he uses American terms (e.g. "potato chips"), and he puts the Pretzel under USA. Also some things are weighed out in grams but most are measured in cups or spoons... This doesn't detract from the book though.

wow, this was awesome!! first of all, how can this book be a free ebook?? amazing. an then this is filled with interesting info, facts, recipes.. this is culture from a street food view, and it's thrilling! i loved to read the different compositions, the history and the great style of the writers! i was basically smelling it! :D i wish i'd have all of this food before me to try. ^^ the only reason why i take one star away: scandinavia obviously does not exist. this was sad to see, because there was something from all of europe, but once again scandinavia misses out :( why is that i wonder..

My biggest problem with watching travel shows is whenever they sample and rave about the local cuisine I desperately want to reproduce it myself. Consequently this book is perfect for me. Filled with information about the various street foods and the recipes this book just begs for hours spent experimenting in the kitchen. This is a cookbook I will definitely be adding to my personal library.

Flipped through the pages and was generally unimpressed. When/if I get to try street food then I'll go looking for recipes. Given that this book lists poutine as the iconic street food of Canada, and hot dogs for the United States, I don't have a lot of faith that any of the other street foods are representative of their countries either.

Great-looking book. I was only going to give this three stars, because I have all these recipes already, but then I realized most people don't have recipe collections as extensive as mine, so I can't really judge by that. Good food, great photos, perfectly-sized interesting intros, and easy-to-follow instructions... how do you get much better than that in a cookbook?

This book wasn't the easiest to view on my kindle, so I had to use a tablet. Once I had a tablet in hand, the memories flooded back of foods I have eaten and enjoyed on a few trips abroad. This book is something that added some "exotic" foods to my bucket list of things to try.

This should be obvious but I missed it so here you go - DON'T READ THIS WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY.
Also, I didn't think the layout was super intuitive but that could've just been because I read the e-book.

Really nice diversity of cuisines and places in the world. I have tried one recipe so far, and it has been good! There are too many that I would like to make!

Now I'm hungry AND full of wanderlust.

The food is much better than the book though it does whet your appetite! The biggest issue for many is how to get the food when you are far from the "street."

Can't wait to go hunting for the ingredients in this amazing book and figure out how to veganize these recipes!

This is a beautiful and fun book for a food explorer. The recipes range in levels of difficulty and the writer gives good tips on finding these foods when traveling and making them at home.

Just enough information and beautifully illustrated. The dessert section at the end is a little lacklustre.

As a cookbook, this a good book. As a travel book, this is not a travel book.

This book has a fun format. It includes little snippets of history, sensory descriptions and photos, and clear instructions for recreating the dishes at home. This book would make a great gift for someone who enjoys food and travel.

There were some yummy items from this book and some which I wouldn't eat again if I was paid. Gozleme was my favourite.
However, I am not a very good cook so it is possible that it was my fault rather than the recipe.

It took me to interesting places; made me hungry and inspired me to try to recreate the exciting food. Yum!

A great little book of mostly simple street snacks from around the world. The book follows a format of 2 pages side by side for each snack - the lefthand page gives a bit of history, context and variations on the snack along with a recommendation for where to get a good example in the snack's home country while the right hand page gives a recipe for reproducing the snack, sometimes providing a simplified version to fit the constraints of a home kitchen. Recipes are symbol coded for complexity, spiciness, vegetarian friendliness and utensils (so you can quickly access all those messy hand foods :-)
Another nice touch is the inclusion examples from some lesser known cuisines (to Europeans or Americans at least) like Senegal, Ghana, The Bahamas and Bolivia.

Can only barely read titles. Should be fun if read on large screen?
