Fiery Islands. Culinary journey through mysterious Indonesia

Indonesia is a paradise for travelers, the kitchen here is as bright and exciting as its landscapes. After all, these are real “spices islands”, on the fertile volcanic soil of which the ingredients grow, which once changed the taste of food around the world. Today, a rich broth with noodles and burning sambal is served on the noisy streets of its cities, and the salty peanut sauce sweethes the satee's kebabs fried on the coals. In the home kitchen, dishes like creamy carrie, fried potatoes and spicy rice are aromatized with ginger, tamarindom, lemongrass and caffera-lam. Notes of chili, burnt sugar, citruses and spices are in the air. Eleanor Ford demonstrates us a very personal, intimate portrait of the country and its cooking, exotic, but simple recipes, as well as food captured using amazing photographs.
