About this title

Synopsis

"Eat Smart in Indonesia: How to Decipher the Menu, Know the Market Foods & Embark on a Tasting Adventure" will soon be available in a Kindle version. The hardcopy is now out of print.

"Eat Smart in Indonesia" is a comprehensive, readable survey of the whole scope of Indonesian gastronomy. It confers savvy to partake as fully and gloriously of Indonesian food as desired, and is essential reading for any “foodie” visiting this vast archipelago. It contains a rich historical perspective on the origins and varieties of Indonesian food and extensive background on the delectable regional dishes. Indonesian phrases are included to make one’s culinary adventure even more successful. At the core of the book are two extensive glossaries in Indonesian with English translations. The “Menu Guide” demystifies food selection, allowing visitors to order with confidence in restaurants; the “Foods & Flavors Guide is a comprehensive list of foods, spices, cooking utensils, cooking styles, etc., to make shopping in the colorful outdoor markets easy and fun.

Author Joan Peterson (inveterate traveler, cook, seeker of unusual herbs and spices, and new ways to prepare familiar ingredients) has added a delicious bonus by providing a chapter of recipes for travelers to preview the tastes before departure, thus broadening the guide’s appeal to cookbook lovers as well.

About the Author

Joan and David Peterson are experienced, world-wide travelers. They have led tours to the Pacific Rim, the Caribbean, Europe, and Australia. They also have explored extensively on their own, concentrating on the cuisines of the countries they visit. Because general guidebooks despite their hefty size provide too little information about food for their taste, the Petersons tackled the subject themselves, providing in-depth information for others with a similar travel focus.
