This is more a book of photography centered around food around the world, with a bit of writing that wasn't very captivating. There are a few recipes of pretty well known foods. The problem is the recipes favour ingredients measured in 7/8 cups or 1.35 oz and the like, so even if you're tempted to try these commonplace recipes found all over the net and in your own cookbooks written in easy to measure amounts, you will be quite stumped.

The history and culture parts are really interesting hence the star. The recipes were all horrid when I made them and wasted a lot of ingredients. Never had a cook book before where not one thing was nice.

I like this book ...yesterday it was raining heavily outside so I decided to travel round the world via this book which share lovely pictures of street food. It's like a coffee table book for the world traveller -travel wide and eat cheap !
The book was divided into world zones and what is available in those locations. The Mediterranean, Europe, Middle East, Far East ( this had a picture of my fav Apam Balik uncle in Chinatown KL : go see page 104..a pix when he was younger !), Chindia, America and Africa. The pictures were lovely and crisp..most of them were of the traders themselves in action !
So when I finished reading the short but fun write up, I was so so hungry and seduced by looking at the foodpix (foodporn?) ; so went and had some Pizza at the awesome "Miker Pizza" in Ipoh town .........bon appetit !
A short and nice enjoyable read - just don't be hungry when you read it coz you will drooollll...hihihi
