She was quiet and modest, but her beguiling flavors were boldly layered and balanced. I’ve long wanted her recipes and culinary tricks, honed through decades of migration and the constant need to cook for her family. Finally, Julia and her daughter, Patricia Tanumihardja, gift us her recipes and techniques. Mortar and Pestle is a must-have for anyone wanting doable recipes for traditional and modern Indonesian cuisine.

Mine will have splashes on every page, and countless bookmarks. This is a book that belongs on every shelf, on every coffee table and every kitchen.” - Lara Lee, author of Coconut and Sambal “There’s a collision of enticing flavours in this mortar: turmeric, chilli, garlic, shallots, ginger, galangal, coriander seeds. These powerful spices combine to make Indonesian cooking vibrant and bold.” - Eleanor Ford, author of Fire Islands—Recipes from Indonesia and The Nutmeg Trail “Indonesia—a country consisting of 17,500 islands—has one of the world’s most diverse food cultures.
