When the author, Esly vandeWeerdt, moved to America with her family in 1968, she brought with her all of the wonderful traditions she enjoyed as a child growing up in Indonesian. Nowhere is this better represented than in her own kitchen. All of her children are grown now and have families of their own. But, it is her kitchen that will always be their home. It is where holiday memories are created. It is where her family instinctively gathers-pitching in and catching up. laughing and joking. It is the very fabric that holds her family so close.
Publisher notes: This book truly represents Esly's love for food, her talents as a cook and her respect for tradition. But, moreover, this book is her legacy. A monument to her commitment for the preservation of family.
The memories I have of my grandmother are tender ones. Family gatherings were infrequent. My grandmother lived 800 miles away from us. But the memories are vivid and happy ones. As a child, my favorite spot was in my grandmother's garden. She had a fountain that was so large you could stand under it and take a shower. The garden was filled with flowers, herds and talking and singing birds. One of these birds was able to perfectly mimic my grandmother's voice calling the maid. The maid came many times to the garden, only to fine the bird staring smugly at her. She was not pleased to say the least.
