There are several books containing Indonesian recipes:
The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon
a massive cookbook covering ALL of Asia and probably one of the
two or three cookbooks i'd take with me to a desert island.
quite authentic and delicious (includes burma, sri lanka, india,
thailand, etc., etc.)
a hardback, expensive and definitely worth every penny X 10.
The Indonesian Kitchen by Copeland Marks
a paperback for about $8. it's o.k., but has a number of errors,
both authoritorially and editorially.
a book with a title i've forgotten by Rosemary Brissenden
look it up in books in print - something like "the forgotten
cuisines: thailand, indonesia, malaysia". a paperback
compendium of southeast asian foods. quite good.
I'm in the process of writing an Indonesian cookbook - i've been involved in
the community for 10 or so years and lived there for 1-1/2 years, collecting
recipes from friends and buying and translating Indonesian cookbooks, and
teaching classes here in the states. i'll post a few of mine, but if you'd
like some more, communicate to me personally and we'll work something out.
