Van Kipcurry van de kapitein en Geroerbakte gemengde paddenstoelen met gember en shaoxingwijn tot Chilikrab met gebakken mantou, In knoflookboter gebakken garnalen, Gekaramelliseerde varkensbuik met sojasaus en Panna cotta met pandan, kokos, mango en ananas.

Ping Coombes groeide op in Maleisië en verhuisde op haar twintigste naar Engeland om daar te gaan studeren. Ze gaat ieder jaar terug naar Maleisië om haar vrienden en familie te bezoeken en elke reis draait om eten. Ping is zo dol op het eten en de smaken van de Maleisische keuken, dat ze er de hele wereld kennis mee wil laten maken. Dat was ook een van de redenen dat ze in 2014 meedeed aan de Britse MasterChef, zodat ze de prachtige keuken van haar geboorteland kon laten zien. En ze won!

The recipe photography and cover design of this book is good... but I wish they would have included better pictures in certain sections. Many of the ingredients are specialty/culturally specific, and not including pictures of them is bad for the reader. I'll say it again: Cookbooks are reference books! If you're publishing a cookbook these days, you have the ability to include glossy color pictures like never before! I flipped through the first 46 pages trying to find pictures of ingredients and techniques. Instead, I found fluffy memoir writing (an indulgent trend which honestly needs to go away from cookbooks) and random pictures of Malaysian markets. These features detracted from a great cookbook with solid recipes.

What a wonderful book!

I grew up in "Malaya" (as it was then), and revisited in 1989. This book brings back the flavours and smells which i still love. The best food in the world.

Brilliant!

I've read through the book and have bookmarked a ton of recipes to try. The cooking directions are straight forward and the story telling of the author and her family delightful.

A fabulous cookbook. I made numerous Malay meals out of that one. Among others I particularly liked:

- Gado-Gado
- Rendang
- Egg fried rice
- Laksa*

Great sets of pictures, nice stories. The only drawback is that Ping relies on stock powders in the book, which are not as good as the real equivalents, and that there is no recipe on making tofu puffs, so they have to be store bought ones.


*- if I remember correctly that it was a recipe from this cookbook.

I wanted to make almost everything in this book. I hope I actually get around to trying some of these recipes!
