Umami Food Studio

I recently organised a private cooking class with Rany for my wife's 50th birthday celebration. She was prompt and specific in dealing with me to prepare the event. We chose Dumpling 101" to accommodate mixed dietary requirements for our group.The entire experience was awesome: Rany's expertise in Asian cuisine and her ability to make the class fun and interactive made the event an absolute hit with everyone. Even those who were experienced in cooking said they learned a lot. The evening was a true success: great hospitality

Umami Thai Street food class was a joy to participate in, a wealth of knowledge is shared with tips and hints to make the flavors pique your tastebuds! And presentation is paramount with pops of colour to match the flavors! Highly recommended class! You will love it! ❤️

Stunning space and kitchen - ideal location for a cookong class, you feel right at home! Rany is a lovely hands on teacher that shows all her students authentic ways of preparing Asian food, the Thai curry class was no exception. You get to use all halaal proteins and authentic Thai ingredients, all her methods are explained in detail and everyone gets a chance to prepare dishes! You also get to eat all the great food which is amazing so please go hungry! Would definitely attend her other classes as you learn so much and she goes out of her way to transfer her skills onto you. Thank you Umami Food Studio for teaching us these great skills and getting to eat all the amazing dishes!

Delectable Oriental SaladsThis is my 3rd class with Rany and I just can’t get enough. The innovation of her recipes is sublime and her thorough teaching methods make everything so accessible and unintimidating.In addition to that, it’s a one stop shop. If you want to take your newly acquired skills and try them at home, all of Rany’s products are available for purchase and you are guaranteed to leave with bags laden with sauces, condiments and the best soy sauce you’ll ever taste.I can’t wait for the next class! Thank you Rany for bringing quality Asian cooking to our homes.

I had the most wonderful experience at Umami Food Studio. I attended the #KFC class or Korean Fried Chicken wanting to not only learn how to make this wonderful dish but to also learn more about the art of deep frying. I did not leave disappointed! Rany is a wonderful teacher. The class is totally interactive so you get to do the cooking alongside learning the techniques and tricks. Best of all, you get to eat all this wonderful food together. Rany shares all the secrets to get things right and she makes sure you understand what you have been taught so that you are confident going home to prepare these dishes for friends and family.

We did the Korean Fried Chicken course and absolutely loved it! Rany is a fantastic host and is very knowledgeable. We learnt so much and are looking forward to the next courses. Highly recommended! #KFC

A highlight of 2022 for me! I participated the amazing Korean Fried Chicken class. Rany introduces you to a world of new flavours, she explains with such passion, she answered the onslaught of questions I had and guides you with clear instructions and helpful oversight once you are unleashed on the kitchen. It was an absolute joy to discover that what we were presented with upon arrival could actually be closely replicated even with someone who hasn't been in the kitchen for 13 years. After spending half the day learning techniques I was so keen to go home and show off my new skills. I also left with my arms full of the best tools for my hubby, Umami's produced cordials to might family’s delight (no seriously - they are refreshing and a true delight especially on a warm summers day) as well as products that are hard to find and their best kept secrets (Umami’s Gomoshio and something I never knew I always needed - Umami’s lemon salt pesto). I also purchased their signature dumplings which were nothing short of heavenly! I thoroughly enjoyed Rany’s class. I left having not only learnt life long skills, tons of tips and tricks, I tasted new things, I cooked, I had an experience! Thank you Rany and team, can’t wait to be back. Candice

We had the most wonderful and informative (not to mention delicious!) morning with Rany learning all about Korean Fried Chicken #KFC. We also got to sample and buy for their extensive range of ingredients, sauces, pickles, frozen dumplings and cordials. I’ll definitely return for another class and to stock up the pantry.

I loved the Vietnamese street food class so much, I did it twice! And it was amazing! Helpful tips and hints in the class, and so user friendly. I also did many other classes after this one including the poke bowl, korean fried chicken, dimsum and then finally, the ramen masterclass. I love Rany and her teaching style. Her classes are the best!

I attended Umami Food Studio's Knife Skills course. The course caters for both beginners and those who have been using kitchen knives for some time. We spent significant time actually using our knives learning to be more efficient and many time saving trips and tricks. Rany is an excellent teacher and hostess. Our lesson culminated in a mouth-wateringly delicious Asian style meal that was produced with the various ingredients we sliced and diced. I highly recommend Umami Food Studio, and will definitely be attending Rany's other classes.
