Cooking with ingredients that love sunshine for people who love flavour
I’m Ina Pegley; Tanamerah is my food business.
I grew up in Indonesia, lived and married in Italy, and have been based in the UK for over 40 years. My cooking draws on Indonesian and other Asian cuisines, including Middle Eastern, with influences from Italy and other Mediterranean countries. Cooking with ingredients that love sunshine—for people who love flavour!
I offer private catering, from a small dinner party for friends, to special events for larger groups. I do staff parties and client entertaining for companies too.
And I plan to do a lot more online cooking lessons and recipes. Sign up below to get an email every time I publish something new.

Every day cooking isn’t about dinner parties! Busy people need to bang something together quickly to feed themselves and/or their family on a daily basis. At the same time it’s sometimes nice to cook something which, though still simple, is a little bit different.
I’m posting a few recipes for my friends and followers that don’t require difficult-to-find ingredients, and which might add some interesting variety to the usual repertoire. This is one of them.
