Street Food of India: The 50 Greatest Indian Snacks - Complete with Recipes Hardcover – August 31, 2010

I'm a sucker for all things food and travel. I'm traveling to India next year, so I was excited to order this book.Pros:1) There are recipes.2) There are some vibrant photos.Cons:1) The photography just isn't up to the standard that you find in other food and cultural resources. It feels more like sitting with your neighbor and seeing their travel photos. Some of the pictures are lively and colorful, and some are dull. None of them really get me feeling like I'm living the experience of being in India.2) The book doesn't seem organized at all. Not by region or type of food. Randomly throughout the book there are pictures of sugarcane and sugarcane juice. I would think one photo of that would be sufficient.Overall, this would have been a dreamy book for me in the 20th century. But with Instagram, Youtube and other resources, the bar is a lot higher now in terms of the quality of photography that I'd expect in a published book.

After an evening at the night food market in Old Delhi, just had to get this book to find out some of the things we so enjoyed so we could attempt to recreate them at home. The highlight of our stay in Delhi was the visit to the night food market...we nibbled our way through the evening and just had the time of our lives...found many of our very favorite treats in this book. When we were absolutely stuffed, our guide said we'd next be going to dinner!!! We managed through a sizzling tandoori treat and then rolled back to our hotel. This little book lets us relive our wonderful Delhi adventure.

Some readers may find fault with the book because it doesn't include street food from all parts of India. To me the this is hands down the best recipe book about Indian street food, with pictures that really capture the essence of Indian street food. It's really amazing that the book's author is an Israeli journalist living in India. The author deserves a Pulitzer prize for cookbook photo journalism!

Great photos of India, but the recipes are not specific enough for me....I cook Indian food very frequently and find that Julie Sahni's recipes, although long, make for delicious outcomes each and every time compared to those in this book.

Good concept its a good cookbook with good recipes .. After perusing the book, I did make a couple of the items featured in the book and consulted the recipes too.

This is a great book for my wife. She is Indian, but knows very little of the cooking culture. She will have a good time flipping through this book.

Excellent cookbook with good directions and tempting recipes. I used it several times and then gave it away as a birthday present.

This was a Christmas present. My daughter is very excited about it.

The book is really beautifully presented and great if your into simple ,vegetarian and nutriciousfood

Wish there were more recipes than beautiful pictures.

We wanted to see what street food was about as it has started to appear at some venues. My partner is from HK so street food is a big thing also Malaysia has a wide variety. The book is going to explored as vegetarian snacks make a change in diet.

It is a good book for pictures but not full of recipeis like I thought thank you it could have been better

I was disappointed with the contents, in particular comparing it to the book Thai street food by Thompson orBalinese street food by von Holzen.
