Nowhere in the world is as fascinating as Indonesia. An archipelago stretching across the equator, it is as diverse in nature as in culture...

Indonesia is made of 7000 islands, inhabited by more than 300 tribes, each with their own dialect, belief and tradition.

The majority cultivate rice as the staple diet, and farm in lush green mountainous regions. Others live in arid lands and formidable seafarers, searching for sea bounties. Some Indonesian dishes are heavily spiced, others rely on the freshness of the catch of the day. Some like it sweet, others prefers it spicy hot. The list goes on.

The Indonesia kitchen is an Aladdin cave; rich and overflowing with variety, flavours and colours. This book presents the 300 most popular Indonesian recipes. It is compiled by Yasa Boga authors; a group which has produced numerous Indonesian bestseller cooking books, some translated and published worldwide. In a nutshell, this book is an invitation for a journey across Indonesia, through its most cherished dishes.
