THE URBAN COOKBOOK

TRAMA

THE URBAN COOKBOOK is an indepth investigation into five cities where the street sets the creative agenda: New York, Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and London. King Adz tells the story of his trip to each city, taking the reader on a walk round the neighbourhoods that buzz with street life, explains where the best food can be found, then talks to the city's keenest creative talents - DJ's, skaters, internet entrepreneurs, designers and talent scouts. Finally, King Adz offers up eight simple and delicious recipes which he discovered on the streets of each city.
