Real Taste of Indonesia

The cuisine of Indonesia is some of the tastiest and exciting in the world. Yet it is hard to find recipes that are authentically Indonesian. "The Real Taste of Indonesia" is, as the title suggests, real Indonesian food with a wonderful selection of recipes from the mildly sweet dishes of Java to the spicy kitchen of Sumatra. It is the cuisine of Indonesian families, who celebrate special occasions at home with relatives and friends rather than eating out in restaurants. They will prepare the favourite delicacies of the family: yellow rice, Sumatran rendang or babi guling- a Balinese sucking-pig, grilled over a charcoal fire in local Balinese herbs. This unique collection of recipes has been passed from grandmothers to mothers, to daughters and sons: highly original recipes from all parts of Indonesia. There is a wealth of additional information (such as on the Balinese cuisine, where, through the influence of Hinduism, more pork is eaten than in the rest of this mostly Islamic country)with stunning location photography, stories and culinary tips so you can't go wrong.
