Un libro que intenta reflejar la cocina que se puede encontrar en la calle, en lo que en español podemos llamar "comida callejera" o "comida de camión" si queremos usar una terminología más anglosajona. Es decir la comida que puedes ir devorando mientras vas andando por la calle o sentada tranquilamente en un banco de un jardín público. O al menos es la interpretación que hago sobre este tipo de comidas.
En cualquier caso el libro se divide según continentes y países, de modo que tenemos una breve visión de cada país. Me ha gustado cómo la autora ha explicado cada receta y que exista una fotografía de ella es de mucha ayuda pero para elegir las recetas de nuestro país, España, ha escogido "empanadillas de atún" y "chocolate con churros", lo cual refleja unos criterios de selección más que dudosos. Que te puedas comer una empanadilla en la calle, se ve porque la puedes pedir en cualquier panadería y te la zampas más que contento, como cuidado de no mancharte claro. Pero no he visto nunca nadie comer chocolate con churros y ir por la calle comiéndolos. Y ya que estamos tampoco macarrones con queso.
Pese a estos pequeños problemas me ha gustado el libro porque puedo descubrir recetas de todo el mundo e intentar hacerlas ya que no son excesivamente complicadas. Que me gusten o no ya es otra cosa.
