Copeland Marks is the 'Marco Polo' of the food world--always bringing us wonderful exotica.--Gael Greene

Marks's previous works include books on the cuisines of Burma, India, and Guatemala; here he explores the cooking of the islands of the Indonesian archipelago. Coconut milk, chilies, ginger root, lemon grass, rice, and fish are key ingredients; Indonesian cooks like their food spicy and hot. Marks provides an excellent glossary of ingredients, including availability and possible substitutions; most of his recipes could be easily duplicated in an American kitchen without threatening their authenticity. Asian cuisines and hot and spicy foods are popular now; Marks's delicious recipes will tempt many cooks. This is highly recommended. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
