 The RASAKU Story

The Concept

 

RASAKU is the idea of chef and author,

 Petty Pandean Elliott

 

Simply put, RASAKU is a practical yet fun introduction to Indonesian cuisine, combining the healthful herbs and spices from the original Spice Islands with local, fresh ingredients from UK. 

 

RASAKU in Indonesian language means literally 'my taste' and neatly describes the intent of this website. Since travel is difficult for most of us these days, this is a great opportunity to sample and share the rich food culture and discover a little about the breathtaking beauty of the world's largest, most biodiverse archipelago.

Making life easier in the kitchen

 

While many more people understand the cuisines of South Asia and the Far East, it is often a challenge to find the specific tropical ingredients in any recipe, as well as manage preparing the many elements that make this food so exciting.

One of the best reasons for establishing RASAKU is to save your time, using our prepared fresh pastes and sambals, and therefore give you easy to enjoy authentic Indonesian dishes, with minimal fuss. 

We invite you to sign up for our newsletter, which will give details of upcoming online cooking demos and other activities.
