‘Food and pain, food and love, food with all its delicious, spicy glory! Ranie Saidi went on a journey of unearthing his lost flavours and this book celebrates them with incredible generosity.’ Yotam Ottolenghi

‘Its a deeply personal book, structured around Ranies grandmother, so the recipes are not just “authentic” but inherited, lived and cooked through grief, distance and memory. Generous and practical, the book teaches so much about flavour, identity and belonging.’ Helen Goh

Through poignant anecdotes and the legacy of his grandmothers recipes, The Malay Cook traces Ranies journey from Kuala Lumpur to London.

With over 70 recipes that celebrate the flavours of Malay cooking, they are perfect for communal dining, last-minute guests or enjoying a comforting one-pot meal.
