Vegan Street Food: Foodie travels from India to Indonesia
S**.
A fun cookbook and culinary tour
I really enjoy this cookbook, and look through it often for inspiration when I am craving eastern flavors. These recipes are a bit more complicated for the most part, so I consider this a weekend cookbook. The author is very authentic, and does not take any short cuts or substitutions with ingredients. Thankfully I have an Asian market down the street where I can acquire most of the ingredients! The Pad Ka Prao and Nasi Goreng have been my favorites so far.

An excellent cook book
I love the whole foods, plant based diet, which makes me feel good and and gives me a lot of energy and a feeling of well-being, but it can get boring over time. I looked for new flavors and ideas, and I definitely found them in this book. Street food' of course, is often deep fried and this is the downside of the book, but inspired by the recipes, I bought an air fryer and have found that many of them can be made with minimal oil in the air fryer! I recommend this book for anyone who wants to jazz up their cooking with new ideas and flavors.

I wanted to love this book.
I wanted to love this book, but too complicated & time consuming. I kept it around for about a year because it's such a beautiful book & enjoyed just looking through it. But I was never drawn to any of the recipes, too many ingredients and too time consuming for me personally.

A Delight for real Foodies who already know quite a lot about cooking!
I have loved reading this intriguing cookbook but I must say I haven't committed to trying any of them. It is complicated and the ingredients lists are somewhat daunting even though I make curries and Thai food occasionally, this seems like a lot to take on.

My Newest Favorite Cookbook
Well written, with an obvious enthusiasm for the foods presented. I'm thinking: this is going to be one of those cookbooks I work my way through and try every single recipe. Many photos, which really helps, when exploring something so new to me that I don't know what it's supposed to look like.Many "thank you's" to the author for presenting us with vegan friendly versions of these timeless foods.

It is in perfect condition. The book is lovely
Just received this book today. It is in perfect condition. The book is lovely. There are many photos, which I really like, and the recipes look fantastic. I will add to this review once I have attempted some of the recipes.

A very pretty cookbook
This is a gorgeous cookbook. Some of the recipes seem a little tricky (I'd call myself an intermediate cook), but they all look delicious.

I especially did not like the presentation
I would say 90% of the dishes are deep fried or shallow fried, so when I removed all the fried dishes there was little left. There is a lot of coconut cream (not milk, just cream) in majority of the recipes- if there were nutrition information provided, the dishes would be loaded with saturated fat. Coconut cream has more saturated fat than milk cream. Most of the dishes require 12 or more ingredients, half of them being rather exotic, so this is really a book for serious cooks that have a lot of time on their hand to prepare a single dish...I especially did not like the presentation: the pages were simply way too busy for my taste- print over the graphics of patterns etc...for me it was too hard to read.

A must have for any food lover- vegan or not!
Can’t recommend this book enough. Jackie’s recipes continually inspire me to try new things and experiment with different flavours. If you’re bored of the same boring vegan foods or concerned that going vegan means giving up on anything- buy this book! Great recipes and beautiful food photography as well as lots of helpful hints that make your own cooking better by explaining why you do certain things to build depth and flavour without animal products. It is an absolute must for those who love the flavours of India and SE Asia.

Delicious with good photos
Wonderful book with excellent recipes. Ingredients are easy to source and alternatives are provided for the few more unusual ones. Clear colour photos show how each finished dish should look. The bonus is a brief introduction to each genre of recipes of the writers travels, lending insight to the countries visited, brilliant armchair travel.

Good debut book. Needs bit of time spent in the kitchen to create the recipes, but worth it !
Lovely debut book from the author. It has some really nice authentic recipes in it. Can be a bit time consuming to make some of them, but definitely worth the bit of work in the kitchen. I try to keep a staple supply of Asian ingredients on hand , which I would recommend doing in order to create some of the recipes. Very nice photography too !
