Mustika Rasa Kini
ABOUT MUSTIKA RASA KINI
Inspired by the book Mustika Rasa, the MUSTIKA RASA KINI project was created based on intellectual property. This project will recount, research, and compare Indonesian food recipes in the Mustika Rasa book from the past to the present, while also serving as a catalog of Indonesian cuisine flavors in various forms of audio-visual displays, websites, applications, and workshop and seminar programs for a wide audience, especially the younger generation, to learn about and enjoy.
There are nine programs and derivative works to be carried out under the main umbrella of the Mustika Rasa Kini project. In collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, all nine Mustika Rasa Kini programs will discuss the major theme of National Food Sovereignty, which will be presented in a friendly, entertaining, informative, and educational manner to showcase the kitchen as the center of household sovereignty for the growth of a new generation that is healthy and independent for a better future for Indonesia.
ABOUT MUSTIKA RASA BOOK
Mustikarasa is a collection of recipes from various regions in Indonesia, inherited from President Sukarno. This book was born from the idea of the Proclamator of the Republic of Indonesia, who was a food lover and believed that food was an important issue. It is no surprise that food became part of the political revolution that Sukarno had been promoting since the late 1950s. As president, Sukarno ordered the collection of as many Indonesian recipes as possible. This was not only to document and preserve Indonesia’s diverse culinary heritage, which is rich in cultural influences from its long history of encounters with various nations, but also as an effort to lay the foundation for food security policies.
A mega project team was formed to trace the culinary history of the archipelago and worked from 1960 to 1966. Sukarno was overthrown, but his vision was realized. More than 1,600 recipes are compiled in the 1,300 pages of this book. Ultimately, this book is not only the most comprehensive collection of Indonesian recipes and kitchen culture with their regions of origin, which is arguably unmatched to this day. Furthermore, this book is a historical artifact of the government’s serious involvement in food culture and food policy, which was largely ignored after Sukarno was overthrown.
