The dishes in Indonesian Cooking range from the familiar Chicken and Beef Satays, Fresh Steamed Vegetables with Peanut Dressing (Gado-Gado) and Nasi Goreng (Traditional Indonesian Fried Rice) to more exotic dishes like Spicy Lemongrass Beef, Burned Sugar Pork and Grilled Swordfish with Fragrant Yellow Rice.

Authentic Indonesian recipes include:

• Chicken and Potato Croquettes
• Oxtail Soup
• Avocado and Smoked Salmon Salad
• Banjar Chicken Steak
• Grilled Swordfish with Fragrant Yellow Rice
• Classic Nasi Goreng
• Sambal Eggplant
• Dutch-Indo Crepes with Palm Sugar

All of the ingredients can be found in any well-stocked supermarket. However, author Dina Yuen has included substitutes for those that may be more difficult to find, as well as a list of resources for online stores and mail order ingredients.

As the world's largest and most diverse archipelago, Indonesia is a vibrant, multi-layered nation. Now, cooks all over the world can bring those traits to their home-cooked meals.
