About the Author

When Copeland Marks sets out to capture the exotic cuisines he writes about in his highly praised series of books, his method is to totally immerse himself in the culture of the country whose kitchens he is exploring. He spends months living in the cities and villages and cooking with chefs, show more professional cooks, and housewives. The results are always spectacular as he searches for the heart of the cuisine. A regular contributor to several food magazines, Copeland Marks is also the author of The Burmese Kitchen, The Varied Kitchens of India, The Exotic Kitchens of Indonesia, and False Tongues and Sunday Bread (The Guatemalan Kitchen). He currently resides in Brooklyn Heights, New York. show less

The Exotic Kitchens of Indonesia: Recipes From the Outer Islands by Copeland Marks

Indonesian cuisine, influenced by traders, pirates, vagabonds, and adventurers from many lands, is a multi-cultural experience guaranteed to satisfy the most reckless palate. From word-of-mouth recipes, Marks has compiled a book of exotic recipes easily duplicated in the average American kitchen. 35 illustrations.

The Burmese Kitchen : Recipes from the Golden Land by Copeland Marks

Very few books cover this cuisine, so i may be rating this more highly than it deserves. I have one other that i got in the late 1970s written by a Burmese who came to the US as a student, "Cook and Entertain the Burmese Way" by Mi Mi Khaing. Clearly she was in an area that had limited access to Asian and Southeast Asian foodstuffs, because so many recipes are not quite authentic. Marks's book is definitely better.
