Overviewedit
Published by Tuttle Publishing, Indonesian Cooking has 81 recipes covering food from East Java, West Java, Bali and other regions of the country.[11] The book provides instructions for making terong balado sauce, oxtail soup, coconut noodle chicken laksa, garlic rice stew, nasi goreng, gado-gado, satay, and chicken and potato croquettes.[a] It offers suggestions for how to prepare food such as how to properly fry noodles and rice, a suitable way to stockpile herbs so they can be used much later, and why a mortar and pestle are good tools to use.[11] The book's focus is home cooking, so its recipes minimise the number of ingredients needed and avoid complexity.[11]
It discusses how Bali residents are accustomed to eating "sweet and mildly spicy roasted meats" and the East Java inhabitants enjoy eating mocha cakes and masakan jawa, a spicy salad.[2] The book focuses on West Java's Betawi cuisine and Sundanese cuisine.[2] She discusses how desserts are likely to use natural products rather than non-natural ones owing to what Indonesians favour.[2] These include iced green coconut, coconut milk with sweet potatoes, and Dutch-Indo crêpes made with palm sugar.[2]
Receptionedit
Calling Indonesian Cooking a "fascinating new cookbook", Athens Banner-Herald's Linda Cicero wrote that the author "gives a great introduction to Indonesian cooking while also making it easy to find what you need in Western markets".[13] Manote Tripathi praised the book in The Nation, writing, "The dishes in the book range from the familiar to the exotic. Yuen offers easy-to-follow recipes to introduce each of these dishes that celebrate the use of organic products, fresh herbs and spices. The dishes laid out in this book reflect the breadth and depth of Indonesia’s vast culinary culture."[2]
