About Mandy Yin
Mandy Yin is Malaysian-born Chinese of Peranakan Nyonya heritage. She moved from Kuala Lumpur to London at 11 and later studied and practised corporate law. She gave this up for a career in food. Mandy watched her mother cook all the family dishes they’d eaten for years and meticulously wrote down every step. She combined this knowledge of the fundamentals of Malaysian cuisine – its mind-boggling array of snacks, sharing dishes, slow-cooked curries and stews, famous spicy laksa noodle soup and the nation’s beloved sambal chilli sauce – with her memories of boisterous, hot hawker centres in Kuala Lumpur. Now, she owns and runs cult restaurant Sambal Shiok Laksa Bar in London and is regularly featured in the national press and on BBC's Saturday Kitchen.

Inspired by how Malaysians eat at home and ‘economy rice’ eateries, where you can help yourself to a generous plate of delicious food at any time of day, as well as favourites from her family kitchen, Mandy Yin presents a collection of over 80 everyday recipes that are quick and easy to make.
Simply Malaysian is a collection of classic and modern dishes that can be whipped up in no time, with minimal ingredients. Whether it’s One Pot Chicken Rice, Sambal Aubergines, Black Pepper Beef or Spicy Tomato Prawns, these resourceful recipes are designed for every night of the week.
