Cumi Asin Sambal Kecombrang - @mel.s_food
Did you know that squids and crabs are only good in the month that have an "R"? Well aat least to the locals in the Mid North Coast area......... Can you name them? And what does the crabs do during those months without "R"!!??
Upon moving to the bush, we discovered an interesting pattern. Initially, the squaid or crabs are usually smally, but as the season progresses and they feed more, their size grows. t he peak season fruns from September to March, with the largest ones typically found in October to January, although you may still encounter a sizeable speciament at any point. Perfect time to keep warm with Sambal or Asian Spices for curry maybe stir fri
We were also amazed to discover an Indonesian school here on the Mid North Coast, showcasing the best of multiculturalism in regional areas. Thi s recipe is courtesy of Imelia and will be in both Bahasa Indonesia and English.

Unlike other chefs, Mel was not born into a family with a culinary passion. Interestingly, her father is an artist so Mel grew up with her father´s love for painting (which perhaps has unconsciously seeped out in her beautiful recipes). Her mother is a loving housewife who cooked for the family and it was mostly run of the mill family friendly dishes she grew up with. Her mother was not particularly interested in cooking or experimenting with new recipes or flavours. Mel remembers spending more time cooking with an aunt of hers, but she is not exactly sure where her own love for cooking came from. Perhaps Mel was simply born with her own unique passionate culinary curiosity.
