Vietnamese Street Food Cooking Class

Hi, I’m Ana!I’m a cooking instructor and the founder of LaZat Cooking @ Kuala Lumpur, a school I started out of a deep passion for food and sharing it with others. What began as a love for cooking and entertaining has grown into a meaningful journey, one that’s allowed me to teach thousands of students from around the world.For me, food is more than just nourishment, it’s therapy for the mind and soul. Growing up in a family of educators, it felt natural to combine my love for cooking with the joy of teaching. I’m especially passionate about preserving and passing on traditional Malaysian recipes that my family and friends have cherished for generations, while also exploring global flavours and techniques I’ve picked up during my travels and time living in places like Thailand and Peru.Since relocating to the UK, I’ve become actively involved in the local food scene; first in Manchester, and now in London. I’ve worked as a food consultant for Kaya, a Malaysian restaurant, and Tampopo, a well-known pan-Asian restaurant chain, helping to develop authentic, flavourful recipes. I’ve also taught at Tampopo’s occasional cooking classes and continue to teach at Food Sorcery, a respected cooking school in Manchester.My work has been featured in several UK publications, including the Manchester Evening News, Taste of Manchester, and I Love Manchester, all celebrating the growing interest in Malaysian cuisine and the joy of home-style cooking.Now based in Northwest Surrey, I’m excited to start a new chapter with Eatzo LaZat (It’s so lazat!), a warm, home-based cooking experience where I’ll be sharing the recipes I grew up with, alongside the global flavours I’ve come to love. Whether you’re new to the kitchen or curious to explore South and East Asian dishes, please join me, and I can’t wait to cook with you, in my home or online.News Coverage Links: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/tampopos-cooking-school-brings-malaysia-24435881 https://ilovemanchester.com/manchesters-food-sorcery-classes-aiming-to-make-cooking-accessible-for-everyone https://tasteofmanchester.com/news/tampopo-launches-exciting-new-east-asian-cooking-classes-in-manchester/
