Greetings from Jakarta ("long time lurker")

Hello fellow eGullet members. I stumbled across this forum while looking for ways to improve my food here.

I've been a technical type all my life and started assembling my kitchen 7 years ago piece by piece after quitting living from hotels for the previous 12 years.  

I currently enjoy smoked foods and tweaking local / regional recipes by applying technique instead of hard boiling or large batch frying.  So far it's allowed me to enjoy and reinforce my knowledge of ingredients.

Thank you everyone contributing here and those folks who laid the frameworks for dispelling myths and providing understanding of ingredients and flavours.

Best regards and bon-appetit,

Warren

hi Warren,

I'm sure I speak for many here who would love to see some of your local foods and the techniques/recipes you apply to them!!!  Welcome!
