Street, Beach & Sky A Cookbook
Dedicated to Marie-Antoine Carême (1784-1833) and Grimod de la Reynière (1758-1837)
-Marie-Antoine Carême, the architect of flavor, whose meticulous artistry and dedication to quality ingredients continue to inspire chefs and elevate the art of fine dining.
Carême’s legacy lies in his meticulous approach to cooking, his emphasis on high-quality ingredients, and his role in codifying classical French cuisine. These principles continue to be foundational for many chefs today, even if adapted to modern sensibilities. His detailed recipes and techniques serve as a historical record and a valuable resource for culinary professionals.
And,
- Grimod de la Reynière, the original gourmand, whose sharp wit and critical eye laid the groundwork for modern food criticism and our appreciation for the culinary experience.
Grimod’s influence lies in his pioneering role as a food critic. His witty and often scathing reviews helped to shape public perception of restaurants and elevate the status of food as a topic of conversation and critique. His work provides a fascinating glimpse into the Parisian culinary scene of the early 19th century and continues to inspire contemporary food writers and reviewers.
New dishes are but old ones disguised.
- Grimod de la Reynière (French gastronome, 1808)

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Street, Beach & Sky: A Cookbook,
where every recipe is a journey, and every dish tells a story. I’m Andrew West, Author of The Instant Chef: American Classics
and The Savoury Chocolate Cookbook
and I invite you to join me on a culinary adventure that spans the globe—from the bustling street markets of Bangkok to the serene beaches of Bali, and up to the vibrant destination cities like Montreal. This book is a celebration of the world’s diverse food cultures, brought to life through a collection of recipes that range from the traditional to the innovative, all crafted with the home cook in mind.
As a passionate explorer of the world’s culinary landscapes, I’ve always been fascinated by the way food connects us to a place and its people. Street, Beach & Sky
is more than just a cookbook; it’s a passport to experiencing the flavors of the world without leaving your kitchen. Each recipe has been carefully selected and tested to ensure that you can recreate authentic and adventurous dishes wherever you are.
The journey begins on the streets, where food is not just sustenance but a way of life. Street food is immediate and intimate, offering a direct line to the heart of a culture. Here, you’ll find dishes like Gai Yang, a marinated grilled chicken that sings with the flavors of Thailand, and Tacos al Pastor, a Mexican classic that’s a riot of color and taste.
From there, we move to the beaches—a place to relax and recharge, where food is about freshness and simplicity. Imagine yourself in Lima, preparing a vibrant Ají de Gallina by the ocean, or in Perth, savoring a Smoked Paprika and Olive Damper as the sun sets over the water.
Finally, our journey takes us to the cities, those great melting pots of culture and cuisine. This is where tradition meets innovation, where chefs and home cooks alike push the boundaries of what food can be. Experience the sophisticated fusion of a Montreal Genmaicha Hazelnut Tartlet or the bold flavors of a New Orleans Cherrystone Clam Seafood Gumbo.
Throughout this book, you’ll also find Showstopper
recipes—dishes designed to impress and delight, perfect for special occasions or when you simply want to celebrate the everyday. These recipes are marked by their uniqueness, flavor impact, and visual appeal, ensuring they’ll be remembered long after the meal is over.

It’s about the flavours and techniques behind the dishes, the taste of cultures, and places that inspire. So, whether you’re a seasoned chef or a curious cook, I hope this book inspires you to explore new flavors, experiment with different techniques, and celebrate the rich tapestry of global cuisine.
Let’s cook, learn, and enjoy together. Welcome to the table—the world awaits.

Street food, in its purest form, is a window into the soul of a city. It’s a reflection of the people, their history, and the symphony of flavors that define their culinary heritage. In this section, we embark on a gastronomic journey through the vibrant streets of eight iconic cities, each with its unique culinary language.
From the bustling markets of Bangkok and Penang to the lively stalls of Osaka and Mexico City, we’ll savor the smoky aromas of sizzling grills and the intricate dance of chopsticks and tortillas. We’ll delve into the fragrant spice markets of Marrakech and Lima, where centuries-old traditions mingle with modern culinary creativity. And we’ll explore the hidden alleyways of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where steaming bowls of pho and delicate rice paper rolls reveal the essence of Vietnamese cuisine.
Rather than an exhaustive encyclopedia, we aim to offer you a taste – a curated glimpse – into the heart of each city’s street food scene. These recipes, both traditional and innovative, are an ode to the bustling culinary cultures we encountered. We’ve taken beloved classics, honed over generations, and given them a fresh perspective through the lens of our test kitchen.
Alongside these familiar favorites, you’ll find entirely new creations, inspired by the vibrant pantries and local foodways of each city. These dishes aren’t just a collection of ingredients; they’re a culinary passport, inviting you to experience a snapshot of the world through its street food.
