We’ve all had a late night or sober daytime food truck culinary adventure or two. Food trucks have become part of culinary pilgrimages throughout the US, and their creative eats make food trucks as inventive as fine dining.

Siobhan Wallace and Alexandra Penfold write one of the first Food Truck cookbooks ever, New York a la Cart: Recipes and Stories from the Big Apple’s Best Food Trucks. With over 60 recipes from over 20 food trucks in New York City, these recipes reveal the secrets that made them legends. Start with the sweets section then whip up those greasy recipes for your rough Saturday morning hangovers. Highlights include goat cheesecake and Greek pork chops.

Price: $18
