Fajri said that during the activities in Wonogiri she had to live in a local house. She conducted interviews for every process of creation and serving food and recording every type of food available.

“From them (activities, ed), I know traditional foods like Cabuk (food made of sesame seeds, ed), Sambel Walang Sangit (hot sauce with grasshopper, ed), and Gablok (a type of coconut milk, ed),” she explained .

After the study, culinary data of at least 3,000 items were inputted including staple foods, side dishes, cakes or snacks, drinks, and chili sauce and become an Indonesian culinary encyclopedia book.

“I hope after this event, creative industry will develop and promote traditional Indonesian cuisine and there will be no longer a notion that says local culinary is traditional food. So, people are not ashamed to eat or buy it, “said the student from Mojokerto. (*)
