Welcome to The Indahhati

A home for food ideas.

Here you will find my most favourite food and drink recipes that have been tried and tested, many times in my home. The majority of the recipes you will find on this website as well as my social media channels are from my Indonesian and English heritage. I come from a family who really values and enjoys good food and especially cooking it from fresh ingredients. There are so many different types of flavours and ways of eating that also involves a variety of ingredients, many of which can be found easily in local shops and supermarkets. However, there will also be ingredients involved that will need to be sought for from international shops or online. I'm very keen to ensure that the recipes I illustrate to you remain traditional and true to its original taste.

This actually began as a personal project for me to learn cooking and gardening skills and I simply have been writing down my recipes and thoughts in a journal until I realised that perhaps not many people may be aware of the vast variety of delicious recipes that Indonesia has to offer. Indonesian food is incredibly popular to those who know if it, but beyond that there is still more work to be done for its exposure. In the UK, I can only name a handful of Indonesian restaurants, and there is a lack of availability of their foods in the shops and supermarkets.

Therefore, I made the decision to showcase the recipes online, not only as a way to document and archive recipes and food related stories but also in the hopes of bringing more awareness to Indonesian cuisine to more people to experience.

I hope that those of you who do try the recipes enjoy them as much as I do and that it could also become a staple in your own homes.
