تام کایم، آشپز و نویسنده غذا، سال‌های زیادی را گذاشته تا « غذاهای خیابانی» را از آسیا تا استرالیا و آمریکا کشف و امتحان کند و بعد خودش آنها را در آشپزخانه‌اش بپزد و طرزتهیه همه این غذاهای آسیایی و آفریقایی و … را در کتاب« غذاهای خیابانی» جمع کند.

او تا نزدیکی ایران هم آمده؛ تا ترکیه و همه غذاهای خیابانی استانبول و شهرهای کوچک ترکیه را از کوفته تا ترشی‌ و دلمه و آش امتحان کرده و در موردشان نوشته. حتی طرز تهیه ماست چکیده (کیسه‌ای) را هم نوشته و گفته به عنوان یک سس کنار نوشیدنی و پنیر و سبزیجات، از لذت خوردن این نوع ماست غافل نشوید.

It has an interesting theme of introducing street food from all over the world, but none of the food photos look appetizing, so I don't feel like eating it.

None of the images in DK's food-related books look good.
The same goes for DK's ramen book.

Also, this book introduces the names and recipes of dishes, but the ingredients and how to make them are also difficult to understand.

When looking for street food when traveling abroad, it may be more helpful to look at comments on Yelp or Google, or read reviews on TripAdvisor or Expedia sites.

I expected a sprawling history on the origins and nuances of the varieties of street food found across the globe. The book does provide short anecdotes and it is mostly a recipe book written in wonderfully clear instructions.

The photographs were mouth watering.

Not as vegetarian-friendly as The World of Street Food. Also, the latter had more interesting recipes and easier preparations than this one. There are still a few things worth looking at here, though. More like a 2.5.

Muy buenas recetas de todas partes del mundo. Lindas fotos, lo bueno de las recetas es que cuenta con ingredientes se pueden encontrar fácilmente o se pueden reemplazar, en caso de ser muy específicos. Cocina sencilla y gustosa.

A travel diary if you will; with some great recipes and background of the countries the foods is from and history of the dishes.
