Summary: Pictures Pictures! A Must Have for People Who Love Pictures!
Review: I Love Buying cookbooks, and using them of course! This book is one of the most fun books i own. It has great great pictures, a very important thing, for me at least! The recapies are also fun and tastly and also very varied. I have loved the couple of things that i have already been able to try and can't wait to try more.

Summary: Better than a Coney Island Hot Dog...
Review: If you're a big fan of munching on pizza by the slice, soft pretzels and hot dogs smothered in sauerkraut bought from corner
vending 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.

Summary: Good but incomplete
Review: The book includes some hard to think of items but excludes more obvious ones. Where, for example, is the pizza slices you can get only in upper west NYC, or the rye bread slice and pickled cucumbers to go with the sausages of Vien, the squashed grape juice decorated with kivi slices you can get in Beirut, the mashed liver wrapped in pastry leaves and deep fried as done in Moscow, fresh skinned walnut pieces kept in icy cold water as sold in Taheran streets or the fried pineapple slieces of Bangkok served on palm leaves, etc. However, it manages to water ones mouth enough to get up and try some that are described.
