From acclaimed food writer and world traveler Eleanor Ford comes a

Indonesian food is the hidden treasure of South East Asian cookery,
waiting to be uncovered, and this wondrous cookbook opens an unexplored
culinary region to food lovers and travellers. It is an unprecedented
culinary celebration of Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago--a
land rich with tropical rainforests, smoking volcanoes, and silver sand
beaches that was also the beating heart of the spice trade. Today its
unforgettable dishes are a celebration of rice and spice--homegrown
clove and nutmeg, ginger and chilly, coconut, turmeric, peanuts, and
more.
Through delightful, easy-to-follow text and instructions, Fire Islands
reveals how to set up an Indonesian kitchen and how to create one
hundred authentic Indonesian recipes--everything from crunchy snacks and
street food to sweet and sticky rice dishes, spicy noodles, fragrant
sauces, tangy broths, rich drinks, and much more. This bright,
beautifully designed package has mouthwatering photographs of the dishes
throughout coupled with original images from the lush, food paradise.
