"Hey, what would you like today?"

Lonely Planet has taken to the streets to bring you 80 fast, fresh and mouthwatering recipes from the most exciting chefs on four wheels. From sea bass ceviche and Lebanese msakhan to old-fashioned American peach cake, discover how to cook some of the world's most crowd-pleasing dishes, meet the chefs and hear the stories behind their passion projects.

Run by passionate foodies, food trucks have nailed the delicate balance of merging the methods and flavours inspired by personal travels and experiences with family recipes, immigrant influences and local ingredients - all the while celebrating sustainable and seasonal local produce.

Starting up and running a food truck is a vehicle for expression and experimentation, a way to serve food that's both personal to the cooks and popular with the crowd. After all, food trucks park where the people are - no booking or dress code required.
