A collection of 100 enchanting, unusual yet accessible dishes, paired with intelligent cultural insight. The recipes reflect the variety in Indonesian cuisine, from the refined cooking of Java to the spicy heart of Sumatra and the festival foods of Bali. Writing is elegant, lyrical, evocative.
Winner of the 2020 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award's Travel Cookery Book of the Year

Steep verdant rice terraces, ancient rainforest and fire-breathing volcanoes create the landscape of the world's largest archipelago. Indonesia is a travellers' paradise, with cuisine as vibrant and thrilling as its scenery. For these are the original spice islands, whose fertile volcanic soil grows ingredients that once changed the flavour of food across the world. On today's noisy streets, chilli-spiked sambals are served with rich noodle broths, and salty peanut sauce sweetens chargrilled sate sticks. In homes, shared feasts of creamy coconut curries, stir-fries and spiced rice are fragrant with ginger, tamarind, lemongrass and lime. The air hangs with the tang of chilli and burnt sugar, citrus and spice.

Eleanor Ford gives a personal, intimate portrait of a country and its cooking, the recipes exotic yet achievable, and the food brought to life by stunning photography.
