Warm and simple, that's the impression that I captured while Yuli Utami know. Four years living in Europe without the help of an assistant households did not dampen the spirit of cooking dish archipelago.

The mother of one child named Sahnon is good at cooking. What struck me was his diligence in presenting the menu archipelago in everyday family. In addition to keeping the family halal food intake, the tongue they already love to taste the cuisine of Indonesia. Although large in Europe, pizza and pasta are not Sahnon favorite foods.

"As far shoreline, the archipelago as simple as any dish will taste much more delicious. Therefore, it takes intention and effort in the process, "said Yuli.

Women 34 years was admitted to not so good at cooking at the beginning of her marriage. Moreover, given the current stay in London, he could get nan delicious Indonesian food without having to bother process. However, when I have followed my husband, a geologist for an oil company, serving in Pau, France, in 2009 ago, inevitably Yuli learn various recipes Indonesia to meet the tastes of the family meal.

For example, when creating pempek usually use mackerel, Yuli get around by using frozen fish paste.

"Let baseball complicated, lingering in the kitchen, I make in large quantities. Then, divided into several portions and stored in the freezer.
