About your cook, Rani (Rose Bay)

Coming from an Indian Malay background I have grown up in a household where food connects the family and community. Everyone comes together at the table, and the richness of flavour warms the soul.

I am inspired by many chefs- Rick Stein for his appreciation of cooking techniques, garnered from watching home cooks in their kitchens; Yotam Ottolenghi for his use of vegetables and appreciation of culture; Nigella as she cooks a variety of food, loves everything, and sits to enjoy her efforts with family and friends.

I worked in foreign exchange for American Express for many years, but lived to cook at home and also for those who are less fortunate.

I like to share good home cooked meals with people, to allow them to try a different dish they may not have ordered in a restaurant and I look forward to sharing my passion with others.
