Hello there,

I am Ranie Saidi, also known as The Malay Cook, a recipe writer based in London, originally from Malaysia. As a finalist for the Yan-Kit So Award for Food Writers on Asia, I am proud to be part of the new generation of British Malay cook, merging the best of both cultures into my unique recipes.

Growing up, I spent my time in my grandma's kitchen, watching and learning the art of traditional Malay cooking. This ignited my passion for food, and I further refined my skills as a recipe developer and food stylist.

Now, living in the UK, I draw inspiration from both cultures when crafting my dishes. My recipes are simple, yet flavourful, reflecting my Malay roots while embracing my British identity.

Food has always been a unifying factor in my life, and I am thrilled to share my love of cooking with you. Let my recipes inspire you to bring people together, share the joy of great food, and celebrate your own unique cultural identity.
