The Malaysian Cookaway

Malaysian food reflects a fusion of cultures, mostly Malay, Chinese and Indian, and is a hidden gem of South East Asian cuisine. I'm excited to bring the incredible flavours and aromas I grew up with into the limelight and show you how easy it is to recreate authentic, delicious, mouth-watering dishes that will delight every time. The Malaysian Cookaway menus I have created bring together traditional recipes with modern cooking methods, to showcase the rich, diverse heritage of Malaysian cookery. Join me and fall in love with this enchanting cuisine.

My story

I grew up in Ipoh, a town in Malaysia known far and wide for its delicious food. We ate very well, but growing up, my mother was very protective of her kitchen, so I never learnt how to cook. When I moved to the UK to study in 2000, I really missed the food from home, so started to experiment, cooking, failing, and making panicked phone calls back home to Mum in Malaysia! I fell in love with cooking and as my skills improved, my confidence grew, until in 2014 I took my beloved recipes to the MasterChef UK kitchen, and was thrilled to win the title. Since then, I have set up a Malaysian Cookery School and written my first cookbook full of family recipes.
