ORIGINS
Centuries ago, known as the 'Spice Islands' Indonesia was the talk of the world as the source of the precious and hugely popular nutmeg and cloves.
Today it still exports spices, as well as coffee, tea, chocolate, coconut products and oils.
Yet the food of this tropical giant is a mystery, or at best unfamiliar to many outside its borders.
At RASAKU we want to change that situation. Our goal is to introduce tasty, and healthy contemporary Indonesian dishes using easy-to-use ingredients that take away the fuss of cooking, save you a bit of time and give real pleasure.
As home cooking is on the rise during lockdown times, we will also offer
cooking classes online and, from
time to time, at selected venues.
We think now is a great time to spread and share interesting new experiences in nutritious foods for everyone, from meat lovers to seafood champions, for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free exponents – Indonesian food has something for everyone.
So while we wait for that brighter future we invite you to join in and enjoy the flavours of the original Spice Islands.
Selamat Makan.
