Penang Homecooking Class


Hands on experience revealed in our Penang Home cooking class




Penang Homecooking Class concentrates more on our local style of Penang and Malaysian style cooking.

With our mixed cultural heritage of Nyonyas, Chinese, Malays and Indians, we certainly have acquired a fair share of cooking styles.

But cooking and taste are very personal. More so in Penang Homecooking class as most of us got our own grandmother's age old kitchen tasted recipes.

You know it is really hard to test each other food so I prefer to say, we share our unique authentic cooking rather then test them.

I rather walk into a restaurant and savor the effort they have put into the meal. To me, taste lovely so no comparison and everyone wins, don't you think so?

There are many aunts who cooked and baked very well.

Combine with learning from many so called Gurus who called themselves Master, I respect and appreciate the most is Datuk Lim.

He not only teaches me the finer points of cooking, he shares many many tips.

Our Commitment to the Local Community

We customize each cooking class based on our clients' individual needs and vision. We want you to walk away from your class enthused about food and cooking.

We want you to learn something new, and to say, "I can do this!"

We are committed to support our local farmers and suppliers. Well, the reason is simple, we know where to get the freshest food or local fruits.

We see them growing in the plantation, farms or kampong. And for fish, I prefer to work with small fishes as they are less toxic so we know the fisherman where they fishes were caught.

So cooking with us is very educational as we even take to fisherman village, vegetable or fruits farms to get the seasonal items.



Types of Cooking Classes

Cooking Students can all participate in preparing the meal, and then everyone sits down to the table to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

These classes can be hands-on or demonstration classes, depending upon the size of the group.

Classes are tailored to the size, needs and budget of the group. All students will receive a recipe packet to take home.

So far, we are the only Penang cooking class who does not demo cooking all the time. We give you a work place to cut and prepare the food item for your own cooking, on your own cooking station.

See Penang Homecooks set up work station here.



NEW: Evening Nyonya class starts this March 2010. Read more here.

We create a unique menu for each cooking class, designed to match our client's needs. View a sample a la carte catering MENU, with some offerings from previous classes. Please contact us for pricing and to discuss class ideas.

Once you are ready, just email me, ya!
