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.

About me:
 I am an Indonesian currently living in New Zealand. Having a Korean Mother, my taste is very diverse. Currently I am studying medicine and working part-time in a New Zealander restaurant as a cook. In Australia, I used to stay in different homestays. And I learnt various type of cooking from sicilian to vietnam to Indian, etc. Most of the time I don't follow any recipe, rather I think about my taste's mood and craves then see the pantry and go wild...

Focaccia Bread

Reviewed on Jul. 25, 2008 by Koki Irene
It's the best focaccia bread i've ever tasted. i use 2 tsp white sugar, and replace garlic powder, thyme, and basil with 2 tbsp freshly chopped rosemary leaves, i also replace water with milk. Before baking, i let dough rise for 10 minutes, and sprinkle it only with chopped rosemary and parmesan. This is the recipe you want to make again and again, i'll never look for another focaccia recipe, i've found the perfect one, thanks Terri!

Fettucine Carbonara

Reviewed on Jun. 24, 2008 by DerAvi
It tasted really good! But when I looked at the calorie intake per serving - I don't know if I want to make this again- or even eat it anymore! :) I might have to exercise for 5 hours to burn those calories :)

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed on Jun. 11, 2008 by MARIAS23
Delicious, soft and chewy cookies. Underbake them by a minute or two for a softer texture. I wasn't able to achieve the crisp outside, but these are still delicious!
