Eating Alfresco : The Best Street Food in the World Book

What's the world's best street food? Fragrant roasted chicken and duck from a stall in Kunming China? Deep-fried fish from the bazaar in Casablanca? Sicilian pizza from the busy street market in Palermo? Here is a lively colonial exploration of a wide variety of exotic street specialties available across the globe.

Photographer Nelli Sheffer and famed chef Israel Aharoni lead this mouthwatering tour through a dozen countries. Pictures and text describe ingredients, show how dishes are prepared, explain unique dining experiences, and explore regional culinary traditions.

Sheffer and Aharoni share sandwiches from a gaily decorated Parisian cart, taste delicious roasted potatoes at a Peruvian festival, and venture to the newly refurbished street markets in Uzbekistan to try traditional bread, sausage, and appetizing stews. Twelve recipes let intrepid cooks re-create these alfresco delights.
