Pembrokeshire’s Café M?r, based in Freshwater West, is included in a new book from Lonely Planet Food, Around the World in 80 Food Trucks, which features the most exciting chefs on four wheels from around the globe.
The book was published on March 13, with Lonely Planet Food having taken to the streets to source 80 fast, fresh and mouth-watering dishes - Japanese, Lebanese, Mexican, Peruvian and more - from the most exciting culinary minds on four wheels.
Café M?r’s crab salad is among those featured.
“In the past 10 years, the culinary landscape of cities all over the world has been transformed by a new kind of street food purveyor: the gourmet food truck,” writes commissioning editor, Christina Webb, in her introduction to the book.
“Food trucks first rolled onto the scene in the US around the time of the last global financial crisis,” Christina says. “It was an era when chefs were being laid off from traditional bricks-and-mortar restaurants, and, with no job but a lot of talent and ambition, decided to take matters into their own hands. Combined with a growing number of festivals and a trend for pop-up attractions, the market was ripe for entrepreneurial cooks to make their mark in nomadic kitchens.”
In Around the World in 80 Food Trucks some of the world’s most creative food truck chefs share their recipes so you can make them at home. The dishes cover everything from classics and family recipes to fusion concoctions inspired by travel experiences. Discover how to cook a raft of crowd-pleasing dishes, from sea bass ceviche and Lebanese msakhan to Indian-inspired paneer poutine and old-fashioned American peach cake. The book also introduces the chefs responsible, who share the stories behind their passion projects, as well as their social media handles so hungry fans can always find out where they’re parked.
Traverse each continent from west to east as you join Lonely Planet Food on this tour of the world’s tastiest food truck dishes and take away a slice of culinary creativity from trucks in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Japan, Kenya, Lebanon, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Peru, Russia, South Africa, Spain, UK, Uruguay, and USA.
