Ranie Saidi

Ranie Saidi, the founder of The Malay Cook supperclub, is a London-based recipe developer celebrating his Malaysian Malay heritage. A 2023 Yan Kit So award finalist, his cooking is inspired by the everyday Malay dishes his grandmother, a wedding catering cook, made while he was growing up. Ranie sells his Malay sauces through Delli Market and select stores, and hosts supper clubs at Soho House, Curry Club London and the Boundary Shoreditch. He has also been featured in the Financial Times and Olive magazine.

His debut cookbook, The Malay Cook: Everyday Malaysian Recipes from Grandma’s Kitchen to Mine (RPS), published in April 2026, with serialisations in The Guardian Feast, Nigella’s Cookbook Corner and Waitrose weekly paper.
