    • Buy it if you dare!
Format: Paperback
Haaaaa, unfortunately I went healthy after I received this book. However, what a fun book it is. I will give you a short review to help you decide whether or not you might be interested in the book. I own a plethora of cookbooks. Yes I know recipes are all over the internet, and I use that too. However, I really like the old fashioned books. I am going to try a new review style for those of you, who like me, often don't want to read the blah blah blah of a review. The blah blah blah will follow the bullets. Here's my quick review: -content .....excellent -pictures of food......excellent -well written and easy to follow recipes.........excellent -skill needed to make.......little to experienced -able to make with common ingredients at home...........unlikely -planning needed...........significant -variety of foods............awesome -healthy............are you kidding me?? -bonus.......there are little history stories attached to recipes Should you buy it? If you have a flare for fun and like to experiment then absolutely. You will have a blast with this book. If you need more blah blah blah then read on. A useful cookbook must have great pictures of the food we are going to cook. We eat first with our eyes, second with our noses and third with our mouths. If the picture is unappetizing or there are no pictures then I am less likely to cook that recipe. I want to know what my dish is suppose to look like. I like in your face and to the point recipes. Pretend I'm a moron and write the recipes so I can understand them. Pretend I have no idea what anything is and give me hints where I could buy the items. Step by step in plain English. Don't assume I know what you are talking about. Get the point? Well the writer of this book understood that and he wrote the book with easy to follow instructions and added humor, history and cool pictures. Well done. I have yet to cook from it due to family issues. However, my buddy's daughter is going to pull some recipes and we will try them on family. So, I will follow-up with the results. But I don't think you'll need the results to make a decision. If you are adventurous then you have already ordered the book. Good luck! ... show more

    • Fun Book, Great Gift for a Foodie Fried
Format: Paperback
This book is a lot of fun and clearly doesn't have a bias like many other food truck cookbooks. The recipes are great and I might make some of them but I really got it more as a coffee table book and it does that very very well. I would love to see a second edition visiting all the cities again and highlighting new trucks. I know for a fact the Philly truck scene has exploded and gone gourmet in the past 2 years. ... show more

What's not to like? But seriously, you know you will just go to the actual food truck to eat. Give this as a gift.

    • the 99% of the recipes here are "inspired by "
Format: Paperback
The book is great, a lot of info and stories but most of the recipes are "inspire by" .. they are not the real recipes from the truckfood chefs. Thats not what I was hoping for.

    • amazing!
Format: Kindle
The wealth and variety of these recipes are incredible, and I loved the stories. These are such interesting vendors and trucks and they each have their own story with inspiration.

    • great food, obscure ingredients, some format issues.
Format: Paperback
got this from my husband for my birthday. Tons of unique recipes you won't find anywhere else. And if you're like me and like to pick up cooking techniques from different cultures, this is great. I've made some of the most authentic taco-truck tacos at home thanks to this book, and my husband even requested I try the falafel recipe (and my husband never eats anything he can't pronounce as a rule). The roasted red salsa recipe is spot-on for mexican restaurant salsa. The one thing I will caution is due to the wide variety of cultural recipes you're going to need to buy a ton of weird ingredients that your grocery store may not have. I have made substitutes when necessary, but there's a few recipes that won't hold up unless I'm ordering ingredients from asianfoodgrocer.com or another specialty store. Also - when I'm cooking I don't like to have to flip back and forth in the book. Many of these recipes will refer you to several different sections of the book (one chapter for the marinade, Another for the sauce, and a third for the assembly and cooking instructions). An example of this - the East LA tacos recipe refers you to four different pages. One page for the tortillas, one for the assembly and chili vinaigrette instructions, another page for the salsa, and a fourth page for the pork. When you get to the page for the pork, it refers you to a fifth page for the marinade. So with all those different mini-recipes you need to complete one meal, your ingredient list is going to be lengthy and you run the risk of getting halfway through a recipe and then finding out you need to marinate something for three hours. I would be more likely to use this more regularly if each recipe was all in one place, but maybe that's just me. ... show more

    • Really fun cookbook for something different
Format: Paperback
I read all of the reviews for this cookbook and decided to buy and I am really glad I did. I got it last week and I made the Mac & Cheese Grilled Sandwiches. They were AMAZING!!! I usually do not eat mac & cheese but my 3 year old does. We had it with a fruit cup:-). Can't wait to make more delicious food from this unusual cookbook. ... show more
