Forty Delicious Years is the story of Bali's most enduring culinary landmark – Murni's Warung in Ubud – and by extension a nostalgic view of central Bali's seminal art colony of Ubud. a magnet for globetrotters, artists and jet-setters since the early 20th century. Narrated by some of the Warung's most intriguing patrons, many eminent and all fascinating, with a Preface by Murni herself, the book tells the story of how a humble roadside stall became an institution – in fact a 'must visit', on a magical 'must visit' island.
This easy to read and immensely enjoyable collection of vignettes has been published to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Murni's Warung.
