This secretary turned celebrity chef used to cook as a hobby until her first appearance on RTM 1. From then onwards she has appeared in cooking shows, live demos, and she has written many recipe books including her latest with a selection of a thousand recipes! Chef Zaidah will be doing a cooking demo at Lot 10 @ 4pm on the 8th Nov, Sunday.

We were lucky enough to sit down and have a chat with this lovely lady:

What inspired you to be a Chef?
I have always loved to cook as a hobby so it made sense for me to pursue it.
Favourite food: Sambal goreng because I can eat it with anything.
Favourite ingredient to work with: I like to cook with daun salam(bay leaf) because it is believed that it cuts the calories. I don't know if it is true but it is what my mother and grandmother believed and I think it works. I also love fragrant herbs like lemongrass, galangal, and kaffir lime leaves.
Advice for aspiring Chefs: Learn as much as you can and try to invent new recipes or put your own style into existing recipes. Use new techniques for traditional recipes. This is how you will be different and stand out.
