Tari was born and raised in Indonesia (except for the few years spent in Bangkok Thailand during her childhood), but has spent all of her adult life in Tokyo until she recently moved to New Jersey. She is a passionate traveler and a somewhat-health-conscious foodie, a rebel cook at heart who never follows any recipe to the t, radically adapting any recipes to her liking and also to what is available in her kitchen. There are too many wonderful foods that Tari is unable to choose one as her favorite. Other than her native Indonesian, Thai would be her favorite cuisine. As far as cooking techniques go, French cuisine fascinates her, and the philosophy of Italian cooking also excites her. Her cooking inspiration will always be her beloved Mama and Jamie Oliver. Tari also owns and operates her food blog http://MyOrangePot.com/ Please note that I only take bookings for a minimum two people (can take up to 6 people). Thank you!
