Indonesia is an extraordinary place made up of thousands of islands. Across the five main islands that are habitable, there is a distinct cuisine that reflects the rich variety of peoples that live there. The book begins with a fascinating introduction, which is followed by a useful guide to ingredients ranging from rice and noodles to fish and spices. The book then features over 70 authentic recipes that capture the essence of Indonesian cooking, such as Catfish with a Spicy Coconut Sauce and Unripe Papaya Soup. There are also delicious sweet snacks and drinks to try, such as Sticky Coconut Crepes and Avocado Juice.
