# The Malay Cook Everyday Malaysian recipes from Grandma's kitchen to mine by Ranie Saidi (Hardcover)

**Over 70 recipes that celebrate the flavours of Malay cooking in Malaysia—the everyday food of the nation’s majority, deeply rooted in history and heritage.**  
  
Through poignant anecdotes and the legacy of his grandmother’s recipes, _The Malay Cook_ traces Ranie’s journey from Kuala Lumpur to London.  
  
Over half the recipes are plant-based, perfect for communal dining, last-minute guests, parties and soirées, or enjoying a comforting one-pot meal on your own.  
  
Malay cooking is a harmony of sweet, sour, salty, lemak manis (coconut creamy umami), and spice. In _The Malay Cook_, Ranie shares a rich collection of recipes, from his supperclub favourites, _Tofu Bergedil_ and _Satay Wings_ in the Savoury Snacks section, to _Kerabu_, a Malay salad that nods to Western salad culture; Northern Malaysia’s _Nasi Lemak platter_ and _Royal Pesamah Guinea Fowl Stew_ in Rice & Sharer; comforting One-Pot _Bean Stews_ and _Curry Puffs_; playful twists like _Pandan Tiramisu_ in Sweet Treats; and in Che Aminah’s Kitchen, his grandmother’s much-loved _Matrimonial Chicken_. Ranie’s recipes highlight everyday ingredients you can source locally, and the handy Malay Palate Flavour Table offers swaps and guidance, sharing the foundations of Malay cooking he has developed since moving to London. From slow-simmering stews to quick stir-fries, with flavour guides and Meal Planners, this book embraces tradition while adapting for the modern kitchen.
