Street Food Cookbook

Book excerpt: GENERAL COOKERY & RECIPES. The Street Food Revolution Street food comes all in shapes and sizes - hot or cold, quick-cooked or slowly simmered, wrapped or rolled, sweet or savoury...what ties it together is the passion that is shared by the artisan traders who bring gourmet dishes out from restaurants and onto the streets. The Northern cities are at the forefront of this exciting culinary trend. Ambitious and passionate foodies have brought local ingredients and top-quality cooking to the streets, creating amazing flavour combinations in front of our eyes and dishing them up at affordable prices. From Birmingham to Newcastle, there are so many markets and vendors, you could spend a year trying them all. Nottingham, Loughborough, Sheffield, Hull, Leeds, Manchester, Darlington and Sunderland all have incredible traders putting them firmly on the street food map, but there is also plenty going on outside the major cities.
