Coconut & Sambal

The cookbook Coconut & Sambal uncovers the secrets of genuine Indonesian cuisine.

Throughout Coconut and Sambal, Lara employs basic procedures and readily available ingredients, interweaving the recipes with beguiling tales of island life and gorgeous travel photography that shines a light on Indonesia's magnificent, little-known food. These dishes will take you on a culinary journey through Indonesia's magnificent islands, allowing you to sample the cuisine of each location.
