For many Malaysians, food is a central force in their lives. But because of the sheer diversity of recipe ideas, cooking styles and combinations, there is a perennial, interminable question that plagues the average Malaysian: what to cook lah?

This is exactly the conundrum food stylist Annette Isaac is looking to address with her debut cookbook, aptly titled What to Cook Laaa...“I think if you cook every day, after awhile it will be a question of what to cook lah? There are so many options out there, so sometimes it is about going back to the basics and making simple comfort food,” says Isaac.
