Het was heel gezellig bij Ruth en haar man. Zij hadden al het nodige voor het koken voorbereid maar er bleef genoeg te doen! Ruth legde duidelijk uit, we leerden veel en op het eind aten we alles lekker op dat we samen hadden gemaakt. Kortom: voor ons een erg leuke ervaring!Heel gastvrije ontvangst, lekker gekookt!

Ruth (and Nehru) took us on a walking food tour one evening in KL and it was amazing - they are such lovely people, great company and local food experts. It truly was one of the highlights of our holiday and we would highly recommend it to others. Just make sure you don't eat too much beforehand as the food is almost never-ending and Ruth even gave us some of her home-cooked goods as well as a 'doggy-bag' of food from the various stalls/places we visited.Fantastic experience

KUL was our last stop on our Malaysia trip and we decided to do an Indian cooking class. We were able to book this class 2 days in advance. In total it was a great experience. Not only that we learned a lot about authentic Indian food by cooking 3 different meals and getting explained everything in detail, we also had a great time with Ruth and her husband during cooking and adterwards enjoying lunch together. Thanks a lot for this great experience Ruth and I hope that we somehow can repeat in future. Great experience with lovely Ruth

I recently had the pleasure of attending Ruth’s Cooking Class in Kuala Lumpur, and it was a wonderful, authentic experience. Ruth was amazing—so hospitable and welcoming, inviting us into her home for a truly authentic culinary journey. The class was not only educational but also a delightful immersion into local culture, where we learned to prepare beautiful dishes from scratch. Ruth’s teaching style is relaxed and engaging, making complex recipes feel approachable. She guided us through each step with patience and enthusiasm, ensuring we understood the techniques and flavors involved. Ruth’s class offers a unique and enriching experience that combines culinary fun with genuine Malaysian hospitality. Highly recommend!Great local experience!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Ruth and her husband. The Indian food was amazing. It’s obvious that Ruth has a lot of expertise and a passion for healthy food, she shared a lot of insight information and went through the cooking process step by step. Thanks again for this wonderful afternoon, amazing couple! Cooking class

I recently had the pleasure of taking a cooking class with Ruth, and I can confidently say it was an incredible experience! From the moment we started, her passion for cooking and her warm personality made the class both fun and educational. Ruth has a fantastic way of explaining techniques, making even the most complex recipes feel simple and approachable. Her attention to detail, patience, and ability to create a welcoming atmosphere made the experience truly special. Not only did I learn new skills, but I also discovered a deeper appreciation for the art of cooking. If you're looking for a cooking class that is engaging, inspiring, and full of flavor, I highly recommend Ruth’s classes. I can’t wait to join another one soon!An Unforgettable Experience
