Who is Mrs K?

Mrs K is the talented Javanese wife of Mr K, who is nowhere near as talented.

Simple and tasty are Mrs K's watchwords, and you won't need any special equipment or techniques. If you can use a knife, a frying pan and a saucepan you should be fine. A small blender is about the only electrical item she regularly uses.

Give the recipes a try, and don't be afraid to experiment. And don't be surprised if you find the names (or ingredients) don't match dishes you've tried before - home cooking is like that!

Over the years she has become expert at substituting for hard-to-find Indonesian ingredients, so most of her recipes use stuff you can buy easily. If something exotic is required, we'll let you know where we got it from.

Any questions? Put them in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them.
