This book is both a culinary Tour de Force as well as an excellent Travel-log.
A great introduction to the real tradition of Indonesian cooking over its vast archipelago,
with its colourfully rich and diverse culture.
Perhaps more aimed at experienced foodies, who are at home with Oriental cooking -
as unfortunately, i.e. not a single photo was included with any of the dishes.
Nevertheless, this is a worthwhile book to read, keep, and try out at home for any adventurous cooks.
As an Indonesian expatriate living abroad for too long - this book is a God-sent cure for homesickness.
The recipes enable me to recreate the food I enjoyed as a child - here in England.
Bringing back the palatal delight I thought only possible to enjoy at home in Indonesia.
I was surprised by the authenticity of the taste - and the stories which accompany each dish adds extra dimension to a mere plate of food. Seriously recommended - even by a real Indonesian !!!

Indonesian food is not very common in the UK. You'd be hard pressed finding a restaurant in London, I think there are two places in total and they're mediocre at best.
I have cooked a so-called "rice table", i.e. many different dishes together like tapas, for friends a number of times and it has always been a big success.
If you consider that Indonesia consists of 1,000s different islands you can imagine that there are some different influences and cooking styles. This book is a wonderful organises some of the recipes in a number of large groups and that is very nice. The recipes are very good and easy to follow. Please consider that time is your friend and most dishes can easily be made in advance and they'll taste better on the day.
This book is an absolute winner and if you would like to try Indonesian cooking, I would highly recommend this book.

Authentic food, for sure
21 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
This is one of those rare Indonesian cookbooks that lists authentic ingredients for most part.
There are, however, ingredients listed not unique to Indonesia cooking. For example flat leaf parsley as garnish. I think Sri should also provide the garnish that the parley substitutes for, in this case.
