Indonesia

Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous nation. Comprised of some 17,500 islands, this South Pacific nation with 250 ethnic groups spans one-eighth of the globe. An important trade region since the 7th century, Indonesian cuisine incorporates indigenous ingredients and techniques with those of historic trading partners China, India, neighboring Southeast Asian countries (such as Malaysia), the Middle East and Europe—Portugal, Spain, Britain and The Netherlands in particular. Cooking varies greatly by region. In general, coconut, banana and seafood (both dried and fresh) are star players in the Indonesian diet, as are fragrant spices such as coriander, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and lemongrass. A typical meal is built around a cone-shaped pile of rice in which a variety of soups, curries, sambals (chile-based relishes) and other dishes are all served simultaneously. Prepared in the morning, food is set out midday to be enjoyed over the course of several hours.

Love the taste! But the bottoms of the chickens are soggy and I don't know why? Too much butter perhaps??

Best Ever Cinnamon Buns

Reviewed on Jun. 16, 2009 by lan2 
I love bread but every time I tried to make one, it turn out hard so I quit trying until I find this recipe. Making bread with combination of flour and cake mix was brilliant!! My bread turn out very soft even after 3 days... By the way, when I prepare the cinnamon-sugar filling, I just realized that I just have enough cinnamon for half the dough so I shape the other half of the dough to dinner roll. I got 12 cinnamon buns and 16 dinner rolls and I like the dinner roll better :-) Thank you for this recipe! Now I can make home made bread which is better than buying from the bakery shop.
