This book gives you a way to tour the world from your kitchen. There are detailed directions on how to make the recipes. The book includes explanations of the ingredients and the history of the recipes. There are pictures and tips throughout the book. There are also bios of the authors of each region that is represented.

This book was received as an ARC from The Experiment in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

It was such a joy reading this book and learning all these different cuisines from all over the world. The amazing pictures and recipes look so delicious especially the recipes from Romania of the cakes from their famous bakery. I also love the detail to the recipes and how they look complicated but they are easy to follow and the reader will feel amazed when they are done. The Baklava though looks so amazing that it may make a believer in Baklava and its goodness. I know this will be perfect for a Cooking Demo at our library.

We will consider adding this title to our Cookbook collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Imagine that you live in one of the world's most populous cities.  Imagine that not only are there lots of people but that there are lots of foods.  Imagine that you would like to taste some of them.  Well, if you are in New York City's Borough of Queens, this is something that you can not only imagine but experience.  For everyone else, enjoy this virtual trip and its wonderful food culture and recipes.


Just some of the places that are the origins for the food at the market are Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Peru, Argentina, South Africa, India,South Korea, Indonesia, Russia and Ukraine.  Enjoy recipes for a pastrami sandwich, Salvadoran chicken tamales, Peruvian Ceviche, Guyanese Beef Patties, Trinidadian Callaloo, Almond Biscotti, Ukrainian Blintzes with Creamy Mushrooms , Pakistani Tandoori Chicken Kati, Beef Momos with Hot Sauce and many more.


Illustrated with many photographs as well as drawings this is a visually appealing cookbook that also includes stories about many of the cooks.  Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this amazing food journey.  All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved this book! I actually went to the Queens Night Market once last summer and this book made me eager to go back. The April release date will be perfect timing. The pictures of the Market, as well as those of the foods and the folks who made them were great.

While I'm sure some people will tackle the recipes, the crowning glory of this book is the diverse cast of chefs/cooks that it catalogs. I loved being able to learn about all sorts of backgrounds from around the world, and some of the stories even made me emotional.

Would recommend this to anyone who has even a passing interest in food or learning about different cultures.

The Queens Night Market in New York is something that I had never heard of before but my interest in global cooking led me to this book. This book does not disappoint with the recipes from around the world and stories of the chefs who make them. It's a fantastic read,

I can't use 95% of the recipes in this wonderful cookbook because they tend towards heavy on the meat and a fair amount use gluten (though not as much as most American cookbooks), but I appreciate the stories of the wonderful cooks from around the world and the authentic recipes. Expect to buy some specialty ingredients for most, and a rather steep learning curve for some of them. It's always worth it to learn how to prepare traditional recipes the right ways, though.

Color photos and bios are provided of each chef. The recipes are usually accompanied by colorful drawings and not photos of the finished dish.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

I read a lot of cookbooks and this one was very good. I really enjoyed seeing so many different views and hearing everyone's story and the food looks amazing. Part cookbook, part biographies, this was a great idea because food really does bring people together.

This cookbook is amazing. I mean, the recipes look amazing themselves. But the coolest thing here are the stories of the immigrants and second-generation Americans. I loved these stories, how they got to this point and how they all chose to share their cultures and food. These are terrific people, and I'm glad they are here. Perhaps some of the anti immigrant crowd should visit this night market and eat some of this delicious food!

This is a wonderful collection of oral stories from vendors at the Queens Night Market. I requested this book not for recipes (these are still much too complicated for me to attempt) but to figure out what food to seek out for our next Night Market in Beaverton! We don’t have quite the breadth of NYC diversity, but what I appreciate here are that the stories include first and second generation immigrants, and detail the significance of the food that they make for thousands of folks every summer.

The only reason I marked it down a star is because the purpose of the project is marketed as an exercise for grad school - and thus had a limited time frame to capture the stories and the people that were featured. I think it would have benefitted from a bit more time. That being said, all of the pictures and illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and the layout is really, really well done. If you like reading books that make you want to jump on a plane to stuff yourself with delicious good, this is the read for you.

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC, all opinions are my own.

The Queens night market is the perfect blend of what America should be All cultures people who have moved to America make there hoes here come to eat socialize .We are introduced to the vendors who are lucky enough to cook here through their essays we learn their personal stories,The food that comes with recipes reflects their lives their ethnic roots.If I lived near this ark eat I would become a regular.This was a wonderful venue to read about a great idea that works well. #netgalley#theexperient
