Editorial Review

Indonesian Street Food Secrets
- Book Review, by Keith Ruskin Miller

From Booklist
The multimedia cookbook puts in an appearance in Indonesian Street Food Secrets by Keith Ruskin Miller. Travelers to this tropical island nation enjoy eating from the produce of its many street vendors, who sell all manner of grilled, fried, and steamed snacks. Miller has gathered recipes for some of these items. Since Indonesian ingredients are a mystery to most Americans, Miller begins with an illustrated guide to keluwek, pisang, and other exotica. Recipes rely on the local availability in American markets of these native Indonesian spices and vegetables. The guide and recipes are reproduced on the CD accompanying the book, and these are supplemented with film clips that illustrate Indonesian urban street life accompanied by indigenous music. These add significantly to the book's cultural value, but they don't make it any easier for the cook to reproduce these foods. Mark Knoblauch

Indonesian Street Food Secrets: A Culinary Travel Odyssey

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A culinary travel odyssey in which the reader is introduced to a wide variety of exotic, yet obtainable ingredients and then initiated into their usage in the greatest street cuisine on the planet. An accompanying MAC and PC compatible CD-ROM includes hours of movies, music and sound that provide the viewer with a window into everyday Indonesian cultural and culinary life.

Indonesia is the world's fourth largest country, yet its cuisine has been largely sidestepped in favor of its smaller, trendier neighbor to the north, Thailand. Although they share similar ingredients and flavors, the eighteen-thousand plus islands of Indonesia have birthed a vastly greater variety of cultures and cuisines. Add to this Indonesia's location, smack dab in the middle of major shipping lanes between China, India, and the Middle East, and you get a massive culinary infusion and cross-pollination that has resulted in a world-class cuisine. Discover now a mesmerizing variety of exotic flavors that cater to every gastronomic whim imaginable. Everything from secret family recipes to blazing, fast-food innovations are presented and made readily accessible to the adventurous chef and would be traveler.
