Susan Feniger's Street Food

June 15, 2012

Here, with restaurant partner and executive chef Kajsa Alger and writer/director Liz Lachman, Los Angeles cooking legend Feniger showcases the spicy tastes of STREET restaurant, her first solo venture in an illustrious career that's included numerous books (e.g., Cooking with Too Hot Tamales: Recipes & Tips From TV Food's Spiciest Cooking Duo), television appearances (e.g., Top Chef Masters, Cooking with Master Chefs), and restaurants (e.g., Border Grill). Shopping for these recipes--which call for shiso leaves, cactus paddles, black garlic, carob molasses, kokum plums, and other uncommon ingredients--is a major undertaking, but preparing them is well within reach of proficient amateurs. VERDICT A diverse collection of global street food. Highly recommended.
