Children play, adults mingle . . . and, above all, everyone eats. Welcome to the Queens Night Market, where thousands of visitors have come to feast on amazing international food--from Filipino \u003ci\u003edinuguan\u003c\/i\u003e to Haitian \u003ci\u003ediri ak djon djon\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe World Eats Here\u003c\/i\u003e brings these incredible recipes from over 40 countries to your home kitchen--straight from the first- and second-generation immigrant cooks who know them best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With every recipe comes a small piece of the American story: of culture shock and language barriers, of falling in love and following passions, and of family bonds tested then strengthened by cooking. You'll meet Sangyal Phuntsok, who learned to make dumplings in a refugee school for Tibetan children; now, his Tibetan Beef Momos with Hot Sauce sell like hotcakes in New York City. And Liia Minnebaeva will blow you away with her Bashkir Farm Cheese Donuts--a treat from her childhood in Oktyabrsky in western Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Though each story is unique, they all celebrate one thing: Food brings people together, and there's no better proof of that than the Queens Night Market, where flavors from all over the world can be enjoyed in one unforgettable place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Wang\u003c\/b\u003e was born and raised in Texas, but his love affair with night markets started during the childhood summers he spent visiting Taiwan.
