There are several books containing Indonesian recipes:

     The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon
          a massive cookbook covering ALL of Asia and probably one of the
          two or three cookbooks i'd take with me to a desert island.
          quite authentic and delicious (includes burma, sri lanka, india,
          thailand, etc., etc.)
          a hardback, expensive and definitely worth every penny X 10.

     The Indonesian Kitchen by Copeland Marks
          a paperback for about $8.  it's o.k., but has a number of errors,
          both authoritorially and editorially.
 
     a book with a title i've forgotten by Rosemary Brissenden
          look it up in books in print - something like "the forgotten
          cuisines:  thailand, indonesia, malaysia".  a paperback
          compendium of southeast asian foods.  quite good.

I'm in the process of writing an Indonesian cookbook - i've been involved in
the community for 10 or so years and lived there for 1-1/2 years, collecting
recipes from friends and buying and translating Indonesian cookbooks, and
teaching classes here in the states. i'll post a few of mine, but if you'd 
like some more, communicate to me personally and we'll work something out.
