Recipes from the Foodtruck cookbook
Street food from a food truck is very special, as it offers creative and delicious food that is not available anywhere else. Do not you have a foodtruck market near you? Never mind, because we'll tell you the best recipes for home cooking.
Originally, the foodtruck trend comes from the USA, but meanwhile we see more and more food trucks. They stand in parking lots in front of the supermarket, in front of offices or at events. There are even their own street food festivals in major cities, where fans of the food trucks meet and taste the delicious food.
The offers are very different and range from burgers and meat dishes to salads and vegan dishes. All food trucks have one thing in common: they are creative dishes that you can not buy anywhere else.
We'll show you the best street food recipes so you can prepare them at home, even if there's no food truck near you. The small sattlat beetroot orange is made simple and fast, even the Hells Kitchen Sandwich is not very elaborate. The Holy Taco Shack's Fish Tacos take a little more time, but the effort is worth it!
