Pearly was fabulous, full of great stories and divinely yummy recipes.

“Perfect for anyone who loves to cook”

Reviewed April 20, 2012

We found Pearly's home cooking school via a Malaysian colleague who sent a link to her site - and aren't we glad we did! Being avid home cooks we have however always found Asian cooking a challenge , so a possibility to learn from a professional sounded just what we needed. Huge plus here was also the possibility to choose... More

As well as enjoying a great meal we learned several techniques and cooking tips. We would be... More

“Great cooking class”

Reviewed April 2, 2012

We had a great morning cooking with Pearly. Great advantage is that everyone makes each dish, so you really get a lot of practice in the recipes. We learned some good techniques for curry's which are hard to pick up from a recipe. Pearly and her husband are very nice people and the house they give the lessons in has... More
