Malaysian food has long been the hidden jewel of South-east Asian cookery – it’s a fusion of the Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures that make up Malaysia itself. In her debut book Malaysia Ping Coombes shares all the secrets and delights of this extraordinary cuisine.
Drawing inspiration from her mother and from the late-night stalls and street markets in her hometown of Ipoh, Ping has put together over 100 delicious recipes that serve as a perfect introduction to the tastes and textures of Malaysian cooking. Chilli crab and caramel pork, spicy laksas and rendangs, satays and tangy sambals: these classic dishes are intensely satisfying to make, share and devour!
Welcome to Ping’s family table – and as Ping’s mother would say, ‘sek fan la!’: come and eat!

Fans of Masterchef will be pleased to see that 2014 winner Ping Coombes has published her first cookbook, containing 100 recipes inspired by memories from her childhood. Ping describes them as a fusion of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures and her recipes reflect this. From flavoursome pastes and dips to her mum's 'Jaw-dropper' sandwich recipe and ingredient glossaries, it's a fascinating insight into this wonderful cuisine.
Malaysian food has grown in popularity in the UK in recent years, championed by previous BBC Masterchef winner Ping Coombes.
With influences from Malay, Chinese and Indian cooking, her book is a comprehensive introduction to this amazing fusion cuisine with beautiful noodle dishes, curries, soups and salads.
MasterChef champ Ping Coombes' first book shines a light on the spicy, tangy, sweet and savoury flavours from her native Malaysia. Recipes for roti canai (flaky flatbread), beef rendang, nasi lemak (coconut rice) and more mingle with Anglo-Malay dishes. The photos by Laura Edwards tie it all together beautifully.
I love this book - Malaysian food is wonderful and so doable for home cooks. A great Christmas book.
Enjoy these family favourites from Masterchef winner Ping Coombes
