A Chinese Street Food Odyssey
£6.60£19.00 (-65%)
Lisa and Helen have travelled across China in search of amazing street food. The recipes are truly accessible – easy for anyone to make in the comfort of their own kitchen. Ken Hom
This beautiful book offers a real insight into the street food cultures of China and vividly evokes the smells and sounds of the markets. It’s the closest you may get to experiencing Beijing street food without actually being there, smelling the mix of aromatic spices, caramelized apples, barbecuing meats and steaming dumplings, with clouds of smoke and noisy bustle all around you, and red lanterns glowing above.
Over 100 recipes and a wealth of stories and insight into cooking methods bring this cuisine to life. All recipes have been carefully chosen to be achievable for the western cook.
Helen and Lisa Tse have set out to encapsulate that sense of excitement, awe, wonder and hunger for these morsels of street food: from soft fluffy bao, to hot fried chicken, from piping hot bowls of noodles, to coal-roasted squid, delicate tea eggs and bubble tea, this is food to truly excite the appetite and awaken a sense of adventure in the kitchen.
With a foreword from the master of Chinese cooking, Ken Hom, this is the essential book for the foodie bookshelf.

We cannot fault this book…proper Chinese Street food that can be achieved by anyone, even for beginners….love the little stories at the start of some recipes, definitely written with love and lots of happy (sometimes bittersweet) memories… Already cooked a few recipes and last time that happened was with Ken Hom’s classic Chinese and Nigel Slater’s Appetite… Happy cooking!!!

Good cookbook. Loads of ideas and easy to follow recipes

I have a few Chinese / asian cookbooks and the most important thing is that they are genuine recipes as opposed to westernised version. I want authenticity and this book most certainly delivers.
The 羊肉串 (lamb skewers) bought back fond memories of Beijing!

The book is a little small with not too many recipes. Delivery service was good
