In addition, Calder goes deep into glassware and bar supplies, including alternatives that you probably do have in your kitchen cupboard.

Java

Maureen Tan was taught the secrets of Indonesian cuisine, literally and figuratively, from her childhood. In Java she shares her favourite delicacies from the Indonesian island, mostly inspired by her mother's thumbed cookbooks. In the process, she takes you through 352 pages of freshly, pedis cuisine of West Java, the sweeter, milder dishes of Central Java and the spicy, savoury specialities of East Java. Authentic Javanese cooking, then, with original, beautifully illustrated recipes that are also very doable thanks to Tan's crystal-clear step-by-step style.
