Description

Susan Anderson (au). Indian, Portugal, China, the Netherlands, & Southeast Asia have all influenced Indonesian cooking, which is here presented in an cookbook for Western readers. Anderson reviews the islands’ history, religion, & culture, & then takes her readers on a tour of Jakarta’s restaurants. Menus from street stalls, canteens, & elegant eateries are presented; recipes for those meals follow. Her colorful photos of vendors & their wares show many of the foods native to the islands. The Indonesian diet is rich in fish & shellfish, vegetables, crispy fried tempeh & marinated tofu, & noodle & rice dishes. Meat is less important: spicy hot, & sour, often with coconut or as stuffing in pancakes or chili peppers. Typical Rijistaffel dishes are described.
