Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"i had a great time with Ruth and her husband - cooking, chatting, sharing the meal we‘ve prepared and learning abour each others culture. I would recommend booking the class 100%. (: "
"We really enjoyed the cooking class with Ruth! She showed us some great recipes and we are really looking forward to cooking these dishes at home. Ruth is a very good teacher and an authentic personality. We learnt a lot from her and also got insights into Indian and Malaysian culture. We liked that very much! Dear Ruth, thank you so much for everything. We are very happy to have got to know you! Best wishes, Dastin & Jessica"
"We definitely recommend learning to cook with Ruth. Communication before the class was excellent so we knew what to expect and all of the recipes were tailored to our dietary preferences. During the lesson, we learnt a lot about the culture and history behind the food and Indian culture in Malaysia, as well as how to cook the dishes. Ruth was kind, welcoming, and friendly and even offered for us to message her with questions we might have about where to eat or what to see during the rest of our stay."
"It was such a nice experience cooking with Ruth. we learned so much about all the ingredients and health benefits the food gives you. we also learned so much about food and culture and I can totally recommend it to everyone who like cooking."

"Ruth was so friendly and so easy to talk to. Ruth had all the ingredients prepared and she taught us how to cook a delicious Indian meal! She worked with us to create a menu that we would like and we couldn't be happier!"
"Ruth and Nehru were the perfect hosts. Ruth provided us with a wonderful menu of Mangalorean food. Ingredients were fresh and very tasty. Rice, salad, a lovely chicken dish, and a taste of delicious street food for snacking on. The dessert was made with fresh mango. Ruth even grows some of her own herbs for the meal and makes her own pickled mango and chutney. We had a very informative and fun cooking session, learning what herbs and spices are used, with recipes to try at home."
"Ruth is incredibly patient and knowledgeable about her craft. She prepared in advance, shared information in short notice, answered all our questions, and spent ample time with us. We are excited to recreate the local Malay dishes back home - including how to find local ingredients! After a lot of travel, this was the best experience we could ask for. It really felt like home and we appreciate all of Ruth’s hard work and passion."
"It was a pleasure to make the cooking class an get to know Ruth and her husband. We had fun, learned a lot and really enjoyed the food. Can highly recommand it. "
"We spent 3 hours cooking and eating what we made with Ruth. She adapted to our cooking preferences and ended up cooking a delicious malasia vegetarian non-spicy menu. Apart from being very sweet, Ruth is also very knowledgeable about culture and history in Asia."
"I had a wonderful time with Ruth. She explained me a lot of things and showed me how to cook the food. It was so tasty. I really enjoyed the day with her. "
