About the book >.>.> This exciting book presents a completely new approach to Indonesian cooking combining traditional Indonesian ingredients and flavours with modern Western techniques of food preparation and artistic presentation. The legendary Spice Islands have lured traders and adventurers for centuries and vast fortunes have been made and lost on the spices and herbs which still grow here in abundance-nutmeg cloves pepper cinnamon and many more. This lush tropical archipelago also produces a rich variety of seafood poultry vegetables and fruits as well as an amazing array of aromatic grasses. leaves roots and rhizomes. When German-trained chef Detlef Skrobanek arrived in Jakarta he felt that Indonesian food with its bounty of wonderful ingredients and diversity of outside influences could be developed into more than the village cuisine it had essentially remained So he set to work to incorporate the principles of nouvelle cuisine into a traditional fare unrivalled in its complex use of herbs and spices.
