Malaysia

Often overlooked beside its neighbours, Malaysian cooking brings together Chinese, Malay and Indian culinary traditions, reflecting the mix of peoples who share the country. In this debut cookbook, Ping Coombes opens up the techniques and flavours behind it.

Recipes here come from Ping's mother's kitchen and from the late-night food stalls and street markets of Ipoh, the town where Ping grew up. The book gathers more than 100 dishes, making it a practical starting point for anyone new to the tastes and textures of Malaysian food.
