Full Description
Over 70 recipes that celebrate Malaysia's UNIQUE FUSION of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Indigenous flavours.
Discover the BOLD SPICES, RICH TRADITIONS and IRRESISTIBLE AROMAS of one of Southeast Asia's most diverse culinary landscapes.
Through POIGNANT ANECDOTES and the legacy of Ranie's GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPES, The Malay Cook celebrates MALAYSIAN FOOD and the universal language of cooking.
Malay dishes are a triumph of well-balanced flavours, a perfect harmony of sweet, sour, salty, lemak manis (umami creaminess) and spicy notes. In this enticing cookbook, you will find coconut-scented nasi lemak, fresh and aromatic shredded sambal and one-pot dishes like Malay-style fried udon, as well as recipes direct from Ranie's grandmother's kitchen such as Malay bean stew and Matrimonial chicken. From hearty stews that can simmer while you work to quick stir-fries that bring a burst of flavour to your dinner table with minimal effort, The Malay Cook embraces its roots while adapting for the modern cook. A handy flavour wheel is featured to help you create and balance your own Malay meals at home, plus a selection of meal planners providing a fail-safe way to create a delicious Malay meal for any occasion, whether cooking for loved ones, hosting family gatherings or simply enjoying a meal alone.
