The story of Chef Chris Salans and his award-winning Mozaic restaurant is told through a collection of recipes that not only tantalise the palate, but show readers what can be achieved when quality ingredients are combined with spontaneity and imagination. The recipes are organised around 17 ingredients found in Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia, all of which are keys to the inspiration behind the sublime dishes at Mozaic.

Born to a French mother and American father, Chef Salans recognised his calling as a chef at a young age. Eschewing a career as a doctor for training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, he has worked for luminaries such as David Bouley and Thomas Keller. In 1996, Chef Salans helmed the restaurant at The Legian in Bali, where he began a real love affair with the bright fl avours and unique tastes of Balinese food and ingredients. His ability to apply classic French skills and techniques to the produce of Bali has won him legions of fans from all over the world.

admired this beautiful island and she, in turn, has provided me with a bounty of amazing ingredients

that have allowed me to create Mozaic and its signature tastes. Like many of you, I have longed for this

cookbook for some time and it fi nally gives me great pleasure to be able to share my experiences and

I wanted to share what Bali has given me in terms of ingredients and rich culinary culture, as it has

and suppliers introduce me to unexpected tastes and fl avours it is through these daily discoveries
