To Stir with Love

When Janet De Neefe stepped off the plane in Bali in 1974, she felt an immediate connection to this island paradise. Though curious about Bali’s culture, its warm people and its mouthwatering cuisine, she didn’t expect to fall in love with a Balinese man and make a new life there.

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

Fragrant Rice shows how the love, hope and warmth that makes this island such a special place is still very much alive today.

Casa Luna is famous not only for being the first restaurant to fuse Balinese and Western food, but because of Janet’s cooking school, which attracts visitors from all around the world.

Janet experiences in the magical world of Bali give her a unique perspective.

In this delightful lifestyle book with a difference, Janet shares many entertaining stories as well as delicious recipes handed down through generations of her husband’s family, as she learns to adapt to another culture and way of life.
