Subject: Stick a FoRK in some beef rendang
>
> As a handy community including international folks, well-travelled folks,
> and folks who are known to like hot food (too bad I never got to take you
to
> Dixie's BBQ in Seattle, Jeff Bone), I appeal to you, FoRKers. Can
somebody
> recommend a good Indonesian food cookbook? Or Asian food cookbook that
> covers specific regions accurately including Indonesia (since I could also
> use some Singaporean and Malaysian recipes, though I already have southern
> indian and thai cuisine somewhat covered)?
>
> I'd particularly like to find one with the following characteristics:
> - emphasis on low-fat (though I'm capable of substituting 'lite' coconut
> milk myself)
> - emphasis on practical main dishes rather than desserts or fancy dishes
> - not solely vegetarian
> - good index
> - more recipes than pictures of recipes
> - recipes for beef rendang, nasi goreng and bami goreng :)
>
> In the meantime, I have found two good recipe websites:
> http://www.indochef.com
> http://www.indokitchen.com
> but I _like_ cookbooks.
>
> I also found today a great site for some of the ingredients you need for
> this cuisine:
> http://www.indomerchant.com/
> This is useful because I went to two asian-food groceries yesterday in
> search of galanggal, but failed to find what I sought in fresh, dried,
> powdered or canned form. This could be my incompetence, but at least the
> indomerchant web-site lets me do searches!
>
> [for those who remember request for recommendations for ultralight
laptops,
> the recommendations were inconclusive. Then Gateway came out with a very
> affordable new entry in the market, only 3.65 lbs. I should receive it
> tomorrow.]
