Indonesian Cuisine

Summary: Wow! This book cooks!
Review: Although married, I still have a bachelor's sense of cooking: if it ain't microwavable, it ain't worth the trouble. But Ms. vandeWeerdt-Schieffelers' cookbook has challenged my belief system! Pushed on me by a friend, I was reluctant to try this cookbook-- I couldn't even *spell* Indonesia without help. But the recipes were easy to follow--a first for me!--and the result was well worth the stretch beyond the microwave. Sign me up for Selamat Makan II!

Summary: An excellent book for both beginner and expert cooks!
Review: As editor of Indonesian Cuisine, as well as being a long-time friend of Esly's family, I had the privilege of tasting many of the dishes she has presented for her readers. I can attest, first hand, that they are delicious! More importantly, they are easy to prepare. With just a few simple steps - which Esly guides you through with ease - even the newest of cooks can command splendid results. Your friends and family will believe you to be a world traveler when you present any of these tasty dishes for their enjoyment. I'm confident Esly's book, Indonesian Cuisine, will become a favorite cooking resource - one that you will continually reach for.
