This review is from: Indonesian Food and Cookery (Hardcover)

I experienced Indonesian Food when I was in Amsterdam in 1971 by eating it, that was another time. I worked at a Black Tie restaurant where there was a Dutch Master Chef and Executive Chef in 1980 where we had one day off, made Riz Taffle drank dark beer and rolled cigarettes. I love Indonesian Food. This is the book you find in Indonesia (not in English of course) used for reference. It is one of the most informative cookbooks I have ever read and I collect them. I had an attack when it went out of print once and scowered New York for a copy. I found a worn out version of the old green paperback and bought it. Sri writes more than a cookbook here. There are the essentials that you must know to impart accuracy to a recipe without the tourbook guide to the country. If you are into Asian food and don't have this book you are missing an essential ingredient in your kitchen. Her first cookbook and by far the best. Jeffrey A.
