Street Food from Around the World
Easy quick meals to cook at home
by Troth Wells

"... this will teach you how to cook street food. But it will also alert you to street food's cultural importance and social and economic impact..."
— Jennifer Bain, The Toronto Star

Sizzling, stirring, grilling, steaming!

In her latest cookbook, Troth Wells evokes the world of street food where young and old, rich and poor enjoy delicious, fresh tastes from vendors around the world. Journey through Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, while you learn how to create popular street food recipes.

Simple to make, fun and quick, all recipes are adapted for Western kitchens with easy-to-follow instructions, preparation and cooking times. Wells also suggests alternatives for hard-to-find ingredients. Most of the recipes are vegetarian or can be easily adapted, and there are many options for vegans. Information on ways to support fair trade and organic producers is also included.

Over fifty full-page, mouth-watering food photos are paired with travel photos and anecdotes from travellers to create this inspirational, informative and entertaining book. Additionally, in her fascinating introduction Wells contributes her perspective on the cultural importance of street food as well as its economic and social impact on communities.

About the Author   Troth Wells is the Publications Editor for the New Internationalist magazine and the English-language editor of The World Guide, produced by the Third World Institute in Uruguay. She has travelled in Central America, Africa, India and Southeast Asia.
