Asian Soul Food

Mas van Putten & Carl Lemette

Dishes to bring family and friends together The perfect combination of Indian and Indonesian dishes Without complicated lists or hard-to-get ingredients

The popular cooking duo Mas van Putten and Carl Lemette, and their funky kitchen crew, are hired for festivals, they cook for celebrities, groups of friends, and they take care of catering, ranging from parties to film- and television sets. She has worked in television for a long time and he has been a cook. Their philosophy? They want to make food people want to come back for, i.e. dishes made with only few ingredients, dishes that go straight to the heart, which bring together families and friends all over the world.

That is what Asian Soul Food is all about. Mas and Carl combined their Indian roots with love, culinary travel experiences from America and Europe, and treat us in this book with their Caribbean risotto balls, vegan pangsit with umami mushroom stuffing, miso buttered burgers and miso ice cream. In short, the best from the west and the most beautiful from the east.
