Description

This memoir, peppered with authentic Balinese recipes, is a love letter to the food and culture of Bali

When Janet De Neefe stepped off the plane in Bali in 1974, she felt a direct connection to this island paradise. Regardless that curious about Bali’s culture, its warm people and its mouthwatering cuisine, she did not expect to fall in love with a Balinese man and make a new life there. Now, years later, Janet and her husband have four children and run two of essentially the most successful restaurants in Bali.

In this delightful memoir, Janet shares entertaining stories of being ‘gently shaped like warm rice for offerings’ as she adapts to every other culture and way of living. She offers insights into the ancient myths and rituals still alive in Bali as of late and passes on delicious recipes handed down through generations of her husband’s circle of relatives.

Fragrant Rice shows how the love, hope and warmth that makes this island one of these special place remains to be very much alive as of late.
