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!

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.

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 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.

I can't wait to buy this book for myself! Not only are the recipes INCREDIBLE, but the personal stories, images, and art are just delightful. Rarely does one find a cookbook in which every recipe is an inspiration, but this cookbook is just that, outright inspiring. I want to cook all of the recipes, and I want to make the trek to Queens to visit this night market for myself. I want to meet the people who show up each week to share their culture with the world. I could go on and on about how wonderful this book is, but I really must start making a grocery list...

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.

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.

So I a copy of the Grand Central Market LA cookbook and when I saw this book, I immediately gravitated toward it because I felt it would be very similar to the GCM LA cookbook.

I really like this book, not necessarily because it's published by a known publisher or a super duper coffee table book but I like it because this book was put together by the people who started this Food Night market in this neighborhood in NY and the recipes are from the stands in the market.

They are recipes which have been handed down for some, some a reminder of their culture and some from what they created. It's "regular" people cooking for others.

I really like each recipe is accompanied by story of the vendor. Their background and how they ended up at the market.

Most recipes are easy to make at home, healthy probably not but delicious.

For cooks who enjoy traditional and fusion international cuisine, cookbook will be a top pick. There are also basic recipes that have easier to find ingredients for those who do not live in an urban area with a variety of grocery options.

While pouring through this book and reading each story and recipe, I found myself texting and calling my NYC friends and family to make sure they knew about this authentic foodie spot in Queens. Having traveled the world and sought out the food night markets, I want to support any movement to expand this global gastronomical community building experience.

This would be perfect for a family looking to try out recipes from across the world. I really enjoyed this and look forward to having it on my shelf. I particularly liked how similar regions were grouped together for continuity. The stories behind these people and their businesses is the most interesting part of the book, A lot of the recipes you can find other places, but the people are the gold in this book, If you have ever been interested in food or food cultures other than your own, buy this book. Delicious recipes,.

I absolutely love this book!! Not only a recipe, but the story behind the recipes is what makes this book such a hit with me! It touches my heart and motivates me into the kitchen to try some of these recipes! I'd give this 10 stars if I could. This is heart & Soul stories and recipes!

Great intro into the worldly backgrounds of the vendors that make up this market. I love that you can experience the great diversity of food in a place that brings people together. I also like the cute mix of illustrations and photos. The book is organized by region.

I adored this book and can't wait to get my hands on a copy so I can flip through the pages. The World Eats Here explores the late night food industry of NYC. While Covid-19 is keeping me far from NYC, I love the city and cannot wait to experience some of these delectable places! Would make a great gift.

Amazing photographs compliment the stories about the people who share the Queens Night Market. Wang captures the energy and diversity involved in this environment. Each vendor shares their story - where they're from; why they're there; how they got here. The oral history transcripts are connected to the recipes for food from their stalls so readers can try a wide variety of flavor profiles.
So many inviting foods to try. More than a cookbook with the human story connections.

Numbers are important in this book, which brings together 88 recipes from 50 of the 300 food vendors from more than 90 countries that have participated in the Queens Night Market in New York. More important, however, are the individual stories collected from those 50 vendors. These are immigrants' stories, stories of new Americans and what it means to be an American, as well as what it means to be proud steward/advocates of the distinct cultures represented, from countries all over the world. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in epicentral Queens, New York City, these stories are both heartening and heart-rending to read. I can't help but wonder how these people --people determined to feed their community -- are faring right now, April 17, 2020. According to an author interview at queens museum.org: "We were scheduled to open up our 2020 season this week (April 18th), and very disappointed that’s not happening. But lately we’ve been working with the Queens Borough President and the Queens Economic Development Corporation on our FUEL THE FRONTLINES initiative. What we’re doing is raising funds to hire Queens Night Market vendors to provide meals for hospital workers in Queens. This gives numerous small businesses a modest but important stream of revenue during these tough times, and also feeds those on the frontlines who are risking their health and lives to help those in need."
More power to them, and to this charming, compelling cookbook slash interview project.

The World Eats Here by John Wang and Storm Garner offers readers beautiful stories, photographs, and recipes from New York City’s night market. This book is a wonderful edition to any collection.

The World Eats Here is a glorious celebration of street food at the Queens Night Market. Due out 12th May 2020 from The Experiment, it's 256 pages and will be available in flexibound and ebook formats.

This is a lovingly crafted tribute, wonderfully photographed, with recipes (yay!) about the Queens Night Market in NYC. The recipes are listed grouped by continent (with a second table of contents listing recipes by type of dish - finger foods, main dishes, sandwiches, crepes, etc) and each of the listings includes a story about the cook and a recipe from their menus. I'm 100% serious. I had to stop and go eat because the book made me so hungry. Everything looks amazing and I fully intend to work my way through the recipes.

Each of the listings include a picture of the cook, recipe introduction with ingredients in the sidebar (measurements in US standard and metric), and step by step instructions. The ingredients are mostly relatively easily sourced and should be available from any well stocked international grocery or large supermarket. The foods themselves are mostly not photographed but the illustrations are very well done and easy to follow.

This is such a vibrant book full of world cuisine and entrepreneurial spirit. The bios are fascinating and the food is just gorgeous.

Five stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

This book came at a perfect time. My family is still quarantined and we've decided to do cuisine themed nights at least once a week. So far we've done Cuban, with French, Spanish And Puerto Rican on deck. Enter this book with recipes coming from The Queens Night Market in NYC. Recipes include Mexican and Italian, commonplace in my rotation to more unique ones from El Salvador, Romania and Pakistan.

The book is organized by region and country, however there is a separate table of contents which groups recipes by type (small bites, mains, sandwiches, sweets, drinks, etc.)

This is a great cookbook but also a great coffee table book full of stories and unique recipes. There are pictures included in every recipe, although some are illustrations versus photos. I do wish there were more photos.

A huge thank you to The Experiment and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The World Eats Here by John Wang is an interesting look at the Queens Night Market and its many vendors. The recipes that are included encompass a variety of cultures and the images reflect the spirit of coming together to enjoy both food and community. Definitely a book that gives bit of wanderlust and a look back to a time where we once gathered to enjoy a bite to eat.

REVIEW: THE WORLD EATS HERE BY JOHN WANG

It has been quite some time since I have visited New York and one day I would love to go back just to visit the Queens Night Market. This book gives a backgrounder and some really wonderful stories about the people and the food that make up this incredible market experience that is affordable and friendly. The recipes are reflective of many different continents and are quite unique, although some may not be easy to recreate without special equipment and hard to find ingredients.

❀ FANTASTIC LAYOUT

The layout of the book makes for a great read for anyone wanting to learn more about different cultures and their foods, or just by type of recipe. The contents of the book are:

Introduction
The Americas and the Caribbean
Europe
Africa and the Middle East
Asia
❀ INCREDIBLE AND AWE-INSPIRING

If you are missing outdoor festivals and eating out, this book will provide a small taste of that. The history and the people that are described within the pages of The World Eats Here are both incredible and awe-inspiring. As well, the recipes that are included can help to bring some of the Queens Night Market home while we wait for things to open up once more.
