In 2012 he was awarded Young Asian & Oriental Chef of the Year at the Asian Curry Awards, along with his Manchester restaurant as Best Malaysian Restaurant, and entered into the Hospitality Guild's prestigious Young Hall of Fame. He was also a finalist in the 1st Malaysia National Achievement Awards for outstanding achievement in his field.

His ambition is to make Malaysian food big in the UK - at least on par with the popularity of Indian, Chinese & Thai cuisine - and in so doing to be the Malaysian face of Malaysian food.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Malaysian food is the unsung hero of Far Eastern cuisine, rich in flavour and diversity as developed over centuries of cultural heritage. Now in the 21st Century, it is high time someone sung its praises around the world. Here, critically acclaimed UK-based Chef Norman Musa reveals his secrets and passion for his native cuisine. Inspired by his Mum, multi-talented Norman provides insights into authentic Malay home cooking, drawing on his own village (kampung) upbringing, his childhood favourites and own restaurant creations. Food is what brings Malaysians together. Full of recipes and the stories behind them, this book is a vibrant, highly personal journey through the culinary delights of Malay cooking. This third edition brings the story of Chef Norman up to date, introduces new photography and reveals 8 new recipes from his master classes. Excellent cookery book for beginners and experts alike - Time Out A lovely book - Rick Stein A hit with Britons keen to whip up Malaysia s exotic dishes - The Star (Malaysia) A unique book that introduces the world's most exciting fusion cuisine in a most engaging way. The book is much more than a collection of recipes; it contains entertaining anecdotes, personal insights and informative guides from his upbringing and passion for Malaysian food. Stunningly illustrated with on-location photographs, its colourful 212 pages also contain useful sections on Malaysian culture, history, people, places & ingredients. It's a really super looking book - great colours, great photography. I enjoyed the opening sections looking at culture and ingredients in a bit of depth, before getting on to the recipes. - Veronica Leek, cookery book buyer for Foyles I was most attracted to the apparent authenticity of the Ning cookbook. I really have enjoyed reading through the book, the photos and anecdotes are fantastic in conveying the atmosphere. - Rima Haque, Amazon customer
